Sriman Jananivasa brahmacari and His Grace Sriman Pankajangri brahmacari, 73rd birthday

This is the 73 rd Appearance day of the greatest pujaries in ISKCON history. HG Jananivas das has been serving Sri Sri Radha Madhava in Sridham Mayapur since Their arrival 45 years ago on the occassion of the 1st Gaurapurnima festival in ISKCON Mayapur in 1972. Srila Prabhupada introduced the singing of Jaya Radha Madhava in ISKCON after receiving this deities. We entered into deep ecstasy during the chanting and then descried how this bhajan described the complete spiritual abode. He taught the song to the devotees and we have been singing it ever since. Jananivas prabhu said they consider Srila Prabhupada’s singing of this bhajan at that time as the “installation of Sri Sri Radha Madhava“. Let us pray that we complete the TOVP and move Sri Sri Radha Madhava to Their new temple by the 50th anniversary of Their installation in 2022.
