Guru-Purnima 2009

Irrespective of what the loving Baba assures his disciples, one look at him while he is in KOlkata will tell you that the "addabaz Bengali's haven" (Kolkata) is Baba's home, while Radhakund is his office. And why not? It is where Baba gets the maximum pampering, madhur seva that is free of any aishwarya bhaav. His daughters such as Hashi-di and Shukha-di render loving seva, while his sons such as Himanshu Uncle, Apu dadabhai, etc. regale him with the rasik-est narrations. Here, Baba is at his element - often being humorous and bhajansheel simultaneously.

Guru Purnima 2009 was celebrated with great devotion, pomp and gaeity in Kolkata. The venue was my dadabhai <a href="http://kunjeshwari.com/sweetblog/madhumati/invitation-to-all-my-sisters-and-brothers/">Apu Shyam's</a> newly constructed building.

Baba giving Bhagavat-paath in Apu dadabhai's kutir.
- There we can see the uptodate Nandadulal dada holding a black bag on his lap, looking so scholarly with his specks et al. He is a scholar par excellence, and a highly non-pretentious Vaishnav - one of my favorite GBs. Next to him, we find the slim, trim and handsome Debanshu Uncle, with a graying temple, gazing at Baba through his specks, drinking the nectar with his eyes and ears. He has a very high knowledge of ras and siddhanta, and is a prolific preacher. Debanshu Uncle is my inspiration where dedication, sincerity and honesty are concerned. He has also reached the stage of 'sthitapragnya'. An ex-air force gentleman, Debanshu Uncle is one of my "most favorite uncles". To his right is seated the bespectacled Gour pada Uncle who is also gazing transfixed at Baba. He is teeped in scriptural music. He writes, composes music and sings ashtakaaliya leelaas according to the raag fit for the particular time, occasion and season. Baba is indeed proud of such exalted disciples.

Bhagavt-paath in Apu dadabhai's kutir.
- Here we can see, the temple of Sri Sri Radha-Nikunjabehari jiu. Inside we get darshan of two lovely Laddoo-Gopals also. Apu-dadabhai built a hotel, which by Baba's kripa, became a mandir. The "hotel-rooms" transformed into Vaishnav-seva for Godbrothers and sisters. That's why we find all the rooms having attached baths and toilets. The cafetaria turned into Radharani's 'randhan-griha'. i just LOVE decorating the Deities with flowers from the garden, and cook cook cook all day for Their Lordships. This is from where Baba tasted his first paneer-pizza baked by "yours truly", gave a toothy smile, and gushed - "very tasteful !!" LOL !!!

Regaling Baba with kirtans
- Rather than being 'Pandit-ised' and 'mahant-ised' , Baba prefers a quiet evening of kirtan surrounded by his children. :)
