| So
I saw Jayananda at that moment. He was just ... the look on his face was
so ecstatic, you know it was like his crowning triumph. I couldn't help
just bursting into tears, and I turned around and Srila Prabhupada also
was crying, looking at Jayananda. And he said, “I am so pleased with
him because he is so sincere.” – Adi-keshava Dasa |
|
"Saints
are My heart, and only I am their hearts. They do not know anyone but
Me, and therefore I do not recognize anyone besides them as Mine."
[SB 9.4.68]

"Lord
Krishna told Arjuna, “Those who are My direct devotees are actually
not My devotees, but those who are the devotees of My servant are
factually My devotees.”
(Adi
Purana)
|
| Even
if he was suffering great pain and discomfort, you wouldn't know it
because of the way he acted and spoke. He could overwhelm you with
Krishna Consciousness, which would divert your attention from even
considering what he was actually experiencing on the physical platform.
- Dasarathasuta |
| When
the devotees made their appeal for a permit she shouted, “Where is
Jayananda, I will only deal with Jayananda for this permit.” The
devotees were surprised that she knew Jayananda by name and explained
that Jayananda had passed away during the past year. The hardened,
course bureaucrat, as tough as they come, you might say without the
least exaggeration, immediately dissolved in tears and had to leave the
room sobbing uncontrollably. When she returned after five or ten minutes
she gave them the permits and related how much she had appreciated
knowing Jayananda. |
| So
Jayananda finally got in Prabhupada's darshan
and he hadn't slept in weeks. He was working tirelessly for weeks,
never taking a nap, never stopping, never thinking of himself. And he
got in the darshan and he just
went like this, and he just passed out. Somebody went to wake him up and
Prabhupada said, "Let Jayananda sleep." |
