We wish to share our unity with devotees around the world, grieving for the loss of our beloved Param Pujya Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj, in honour of Maharaj we offer our prayers at his lotus feet and sing the beautiful song "Saparshada-bhagavad-viraha-janita-vilapa".

Je Anilo Prem Dhana

Saparshada-bhagavad-viraha-janita-vilapa
Lamentation Due to Separation from the Lord and His Associates
(1)
je anilo prema-dhana koruna pracur
heno prabhu kotha gela acarya-thakur
(2)
kaha mora swarup rupa kaha sanatan
kaha dasa raghunatha patita-pavan
(3)
kaha mora bhatta-juga kaha kaviraj
eka-kale kotha gela gora nata-raj
(4)
pashane kutibo matha anale pasibo
gauranga gunera nidhi kotha gele pabo
(5)
se-saba sangira sange je koilo bilas
se-sanga na paiya kande narottama das
Translation:
(1) He who brought the treasure of divine love and who was filled with compassion and mercy-where has such
a personality as Srinivasa Acarya gone?
(2) Where are my Svarupa Damodara and Rupa Gosvami? Where is Sanatana? Where is Raghunatha dasa,
the savior of the fallen?
(3) Where are my Raghunatha Bhatta and Gopala Bhatta, and where is Krishnadasa Kaviraja? Where did
Lord Gauranga, the great dancer, suddenly go?
(4) I will smash my head against the rock and enter into the fire. Where will I find Lord Gauranga, the reservoir
of all wonderful qualities?
(5) Being unable to obtain the association of Lord Gauranga accompanied by all of these devotees in
whose association He performed His pastimes, Narottama dasa simply weeps.
About His Holiness Srila Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj:
His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja was born on August 14, 1944, in New Delhi, India, on the auspicious day of Annada Ekadashi. He pursued Business Management at the Sorbonne University of Paris and obtained a Masters Degree in Business Administration from McGill University in Montreal. Maharaja met his spiritual Master, Srila Prabhupada, in 1968 in Montreal, where he served him devotedly and accepted him as his spiritual master within two weeks. He had a strong inclination towards spirituality, visiting various religious institutions in search of the Absolute Truth. Srila Prabhupada recognized his dedication and appointed him as the General Body Commissioner for India, entrusting him with significant responsibilities. Maharaja played a crucial role in expanding ISKCON's presence in Russia and took sannyasa in 1981, becoming a diksha guru a year later. He tirelessly spreads Lord Caitanya's message globally and oversees various temple projects and book distribution initiatives. Maharaja's dedication to serving humanity and spreading spiritual knowledge is evident through his leadership and compassionate nature. His deep commitment to Srila Prabhupada's mission continues to inspire devotees worldwide.
H. H. Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja ki jaya!
