na yujyamanaya bhaktya
bhagavaty akhilatmani
sadrso 'sti sivah pantha
yoginam brahma-siddhaye
na—not; yujyamanaya—being performed; bhaktya—devotional service; bhagavati—towards the Supreme Personality of Godhead; akhila-atmani—the Supersoul; sadrsah—like; asti—there is; sivah—auspicious; panthah—path; yoginam—of the yogis; brahma-siddhaye—for perfection in self-realization.
Perfection in self-realization cannot be attained by any kind of yogi unless he engages in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for that is the only auspicious path.
Lord Kapila Deva
"Back to Godhead" Magazine, May/June 1995, Page 32
Srila Jayananda Prabhu joined Srila Prabhupada and the fledging Hare Krsna movement in San Francisco in 1967. Jayananda Prabhu had been driving cab, and encouraged by Srila Prabhupada, he kept that job to help support the storefront Hare Krsna temple. He also gave Srila Prabhupada $5,000 to help print the first edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is.
For many years Jayananda Prabhu was the backbone of the San Francisco Rathayatra (Festival of the Chariots). He would do everything from asking for donations of food, flowers, and money for advertising, building the chariots, arranging for permits, and organizing the cooking and distribution of prasadam, food offered to Krsna.
The last festival Jayananda was able to work on directly was the New York City Rathayatra in 1976. Attended by Srila Prabhupada, it was the first Rathayatra in New York, and it went down Fith Avenue. Jayananda called it the most successful of all the festivals he had worked on.
Soon after that festival, Jayananda Prabhu was diagnosed as haveing cancer. He spent his last few months advising devotees in Los Angeles who were preparing to put on their first Rathayatra. He passed away in 1977 while devotees chanted Hare Krsna in his room.
In a letter to Jayananda shortly after his passing, Srila Prabhupada wrote, "As you were hearing Krsna-kirtana, I am sure that you were directly promoted to Krsna-loka. Krsna has done a great favor to you, not to continue your diseased body, and has given you a suitable place for your service."
Srila Prabhupada requested devotees all over the world to commemorate Jayananda Prabhu's passing every year as they would that of any great devotee of Krsna.
Bhakta dasa:
Dear Maharaja & Prabhus,
Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glory to Srila Prabhupada! All glory to Sripad Jayananda dasa, a pure and perfect disciple of Srila Prabhupada!
It was my great fortune to work closely with Jayananda on many occasions between 1971 and 1977. From our first meeting in a beaten- up pick up truck, driving across the SF Bay Bridge to prepare a park for the "Lord Caitanya Festival" being held that day, until our final meeting a few weeks before he departed in a "Laetrile Cancer Clinic" in Tijuana, Mexico he was always a source of incredible inspiration and determination for me.
At our final meeting, he was living in a two room apartment at the cancer clinic. He had turned what was supposed to be the bedroom into a temple, and was staying in the laundry room on the floor. He had decorated his "temple" with hundreds of photos of Srila Prabhupad and Lord Jagannatha and was peacefully chanting HARE KRISHNA as much as 108 rounds per day. Although his formerly robust body had become like a tooth pick, his consciousness was not the least disturbed. He was fearless, even happy that his prison term in the modes of nature was coming to an end.
He told me stories of the various treatments had undergone at the behest of different devotees over the last 6 or 7 months. Some of the treatments were rather absurd, like wearing bags of dripping herbal teas on your back, etc. As he related these tales, we laughed, and laughed, and laughed. We laughed so hard our sides were aching, but we could not stop laughing. Actually we were laughing, because everyone in this world took "death" so seriously, but we, fortunate souls we were, knew that death was also only an illusion.
Jayananda knew within himself that he was leaving, he knew his time was up, still to please the devotees, he made the attempts to prolong his life.
The one quality of Jayananda that stood out, above and beyond all his other exalted qualities was his extreme dedication to the service of the devotees. Not just the high and mighty, but especially the newest bhakta or bhaktin. He would invariably make sure they ate well, and were guided properly in the process of bhakti.
In 1974 when he returned from his one pilgrimage to India, he had brought a new "lal imli" chadder and a beautiful new silk dhoti and kurta. He gave all these away to a couple of new bhaktas,preferring to wear his old tattered dhotis. Jayananda remained constantly engaged in service day in and day out without cessation. I never saw him engage in unnecessary sense gratification once, but for the service of KRSNA he would sometimes drink a cup of coffee when on a long drive, and once he even purchased beer to give a young man who was
helping build the Rath carts, but who needed his beer each evening to function!
Jayananda was loved by all. He epitomized the verse from the Goswamiastakam "loved by the gentle and the ruffians". Jayananda was never envious of anyone, he always offered sincere respect to all living beings. He adored prasadam and made sure to carry some cakes or sweets with him everywhere he went to distribute to all. Jayananda hated to be the center of attention; he always pushed others ahead
of himself. Jayananda loved kirtan and could chant and dance for hours very happily. He could also sit down and chant 50 rounds if necessary without getting up. Jayananda loved KRSNA leela, and when he read the Krsna Book he would feel incredible happiness and would giggle like a young child. I felt so sad that I did not have such a sweet taste.
A few years ago while in front of the Gundica Mandir in Puri, early in the morning, I sat of Lord Jagannatha's Rath while Lord Jagannatha was inside the Gundica Temple. My mind was looking at the chariot and was remembering Jayananda, and how beautiful the chariots he made were. I could understand at that time that Jayananda was probably building chariots right there in Puri for lifetimes, and then he took birth in the west to become Srila Prabhupada's assistant in bringing this most wonderful of all festivals to all the conditioned souls in the world.
Now, His Grace Vaiyasaki dasa has written a wonderful book detailing the leela of Jayananda Prabhu, and as soon as he can find some funding it will be published. Then I know that all of you who read about Jayananda will fell the same joy, inspiration, and determination that I feel when I remember him.
Srila Dasa:
Jayananda was one of the only devotees I know that no matter how insignificant you were, Jayananda would recognize you, greet you and treat you as if you were his personal friend. As it states in Bg, *suhrdam sarva-bhutanam.* Jayananda was the living example of a humble, unassuming Vaisnava who took advantage of every opportunity he could to serve other Vaisnavas.
In his last days in NY (at the 55th St Temple) in 1997 before going to LA, I witnessed this *lila*: One devotee had come back hungry from sankirtan, and when he saw Jayananda sitting down about to take a plate of maha-prasadam, he asked Jayananda if there was anymore prasadam. Without hesitating, Jayananda offered the devotee his own plate of maha-prasadam (very hard to get in NY at that time) and insisted he take it. Jayananda always performed selfless service to the Vaisnavas and to his beloved Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada.
HH Jayapataka Swami:
"The Appearance of Jayananda Prabhu. I would like to offer my obeisances to Srila Prabhupada and my Vartma-pradarsaka Sripad Jayananda Prabhu who was so instrumental in engaging me in Krishna consciousness. When I first came to the temple in 1968 I saw a sign that said "Festival of the chariots. Vegetarian meal 25cent donation". So I was already vegetarian and doing yoga in some country place I had, but I was looking for a guru all the gurus I found were bogus. So let me find out more about this place. So I went there and had the Prasadam and so many other things happened. After I had bought a set of Srimad Bhagavatams I heard this sound of boom boom boom
like hammering, so I went in behind the temple and there was Jayananda Prabhu with half a dozen people and devotees. There were all kinds of people with hair, so many different kinds of people. None of them looked exactly like a shaved up devotee or anything. It seemed that as soon as I had looked he didn't wait one second. He just looked at me and said, "Do you know how to hold a nail?" And he gave me a nail and hammered it into the Rath and said "You are expert, you are really expert. Are you a qualified carpenter?"
I said "No, no, no" Then he said, "Do you know how to hammer, can you hammer the nail in where the little mark is?". So then I hammered it in and he exclaimed, "You're fantastic! You're great! Could you help us we are building this Ratha-Yatra cart?" He had so much enthusiasm that you couldn't say no to him. Talk about preaching by example.
He was just contagious. I could have been the delivery man walking in there. he had an ability to just engage everyone. The whole time you were there he would be telling you about Krishna while you were working he would be telling you different things, he would be glorifying Srila Prabhupada. He was very very simple hearted, and completely non-envious and loving to Srila Prabhupada. So I was in that association for about a week, everyday I was coming to help to build the Ratha-Yatra cart, reading Srila Prabhupada's books and chanting my Japa and then I decided that I had found the path I was looking for. I didn't accept it blindly as I was quite intellectual and I thought I'll do it for a few months and see how it goes but as far as I know this is it. I was thinking that if it didn't work I could always change my mind but I wanted to do it fully and give it a good try. I could always change my mind.
So I decided to surrender on that day and if I had any doubts I was thinking that I could deal with them later. So I asked Jayananda if he could shave me up and he did on the day of the Ratha-Yatra. He gave me my first shave. The devotees were asking who the new shaved-up person was. I was in the front of the Rath pulling it under Jayananda's guidance, steering it or whatever.
Fortunately or unfortunately, after this I went to see Srila Prabhupada and I was directly serving under Srila Prabhupada, this was very fortunate but unfortunately I didn't get the association of Jayananda. Later though when Srila Prabhupada called me to L.A. to send me to India, then Jayananda was in L.A. and I had some opportunity to do some service with him.
He is like Anantadeva is to Krishna, supporting everything, he's behind the scenes. Everything would go on nicely because of his presence. He would look what was the service that no one wanted to do and he would trick people and say, "Lets get the nectar, who wants the nectar? Okay let's go. Take out the garbage or something like that. This is nectar because when you take out the garbage from the temple you are cleaning your heart." He really had a lot of practical realization about what devotional service was all about.
I remember that I was assigned to assist him in gathering flowers and in those days we did things in ISKCON in a kind of pioneering type of way. It was thought that like in India if you pluck flowers from peoples homes nobody really minds, not much anyway. They know it is for the deities. But we went off to Beverly Hills where all the movie stars live picking flowers at three o'clock in the morning or two o'clock or midnight for the deities. Then someone thought we were robbers and they started shooting at us. Somehow we escaped and when we got back Srila Prabhupada said' "okay you had better stop this program. This is not good."
So I had his personal association on two occasions in my life and they were very memorable occasions. Srila Prabhupada had us go before the deities of Rukmini Dwarakadish before they went on a procession and we had to give our weekly report to the deities what we had done. Many wonderful things were happening there and one of the wonderful things was Jayananda Prabhu's association and his total dedication to building the Ratha-Yatra cars. Even during the last period of his life when he had blood leukemia, cancer, still
he was completely fixed on doing his service and never did he waiver from his favorable mood of devotional service.
So really he is a saint someone who was sent to help Srila Prabhupada and he went back to the spiritual world and like this we should remember him and pray that we may also be dedicated to serving Srila Prabhupada favorably and also be able to achieve the perfection of human life."
GAURIDASA PANDITA DASA
Srila Prabhupada loved him with all of his heart because of his selfless devotion and great Vaisnava qualities. Jayananda Prabhu is called the first ISKCON saint. I was in Srila Prabhupada's room when he heard that Jayananda Prabhu had left his body. Srila Prabhupada showed his great affection for Jayananda Prabhu and glorified him with tears in his eyes. He prayed to Krsna for him and told us that he went back to Godhead. I think he left the planet just in time to meet Srila Prabhupada in Krsnaloka a short time later.
When we hear the stories about Srila Prabhupada and his pure followers like Jayananda Prabhu we become inspired. Whatever a great man or woman does, others follow.
I had the good fortune to get Jayananda Prabhu's association in 1974. I had come from Seattle to the San Francisco Rathayatra. I came a week or so before the Rathayatra and I was asked by Jayananda Prabhu if I would help prepare the carts. I was happy to be engaged in that service. He drove us out to the Rath cart site after morning prasadam every day. He would always be singing Hare Krsna or bhajans as he drove. He showed great compassion for all of the devotees and people. He was always bringing nice prasadam and treating everyone, even the garbage man, with great respect. This charmed everyone and made them want to offer some service back. I ended up joining the movement after this Rathayatra even though I had not planned on it. This may have been due to the inspiration I got from the great Jayananda Prabhu. Although I only had a few days association with Jayananda Prabhu it was enough to see that he was very Krsna Conscious. His body mind and words were totally engaged in the service of Sri Sri Guru and Gouranga.
Many devotees have memories of Jayananda and I hope they share them in the temples, homes and on the Internet.
I joined with the movement with Visnujana Swami and the Radha Damodar Traveling Sankirtan Party, RDTSP. I hope to see an annual festival to honor Visnujana Swami, also. I think his birthday is June 9th and hope the devotees will unite to perform Harinama on or around this day, in his honor. This would please Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya and all who take part. Visnujana Swami chanted 8 or more hours every day for the benefit of the public and devotees. He inspired thousands of people to take to Krsna Consciousness, especially the chanting of the Holy Names. When Srila Prabhupada heard Visnujana chanting in the LA temple room he said, "I'm walking in Vaikuntha. I'm walking in Vaikuntha. I'm walking in Vaikuntha!"
His tapes and CDs are still available. Listen to Gopinatha and enjoy spiritual emotion. The humbleness and love for the Lord and the devotees was obvious to all who were fortunate enough to come into contact with Jayananda Prabhu and Visnujana Swami, the first ISKCON saints.
