ऋषभ देव जी कौन है (गृहस्थ: भाग 1) by HH GOPAL KRISHNA GOSWAMI
About HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj:
His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja is an empowered spiritual master and pure devotee of Supreme Lord. He is tirelessly engaged in the mission of spreading the message of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu blessed with the mercy of his spiritual master and the founder Acharya of ISKCON, HDG A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.
His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj appeared on August 14, 1944 on the most auspicious day of Annada Ekadashi in New Delhi. He completed his graduation from Delhi University and then went to Sorbonne University of Paris for Business Management on a scholarship of French Government. Later on he achieved his Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the McGill University at Montreal.
He first met his spiritual master His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada on 1st June, 1968 in Montreal. Immediately meeting Srila Prabhupada within two weeks HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja decided that he would accept Srila Prabhupada as his spiritual master. At that time he was working for Pepsi Cola in marketing research. Srila Prabhupada took special interest in him and both of them started a regular correspondence. In 1969, 27th May, Srila Prabhuapada gave him initiation.
Later on HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj moved into the temple and rendered his full time devoted services. He also worked as Srila Prabhupada’s personal secretary for many years. In 1975, Srila Prabhuapda made him General Body Commissioner (GBC) of India from 1975 to 1976. Srila Prabhupada gave him instructions to expand printing books and book distribution in India. Srila Prabhupada became very happy when he first saw the first printed copy of Srimad Bhagavatam in Hindi language.
Amidst the most unfavorable situations distributing the message of God by preaching, elevating the conditioned souls from the mud of material world, presenting exemplary behavior in devotional service and perfect management are some of the glittering pearls of Maharaj’s glory.
He has imparted his kind guidance and tireless efforts in establishing a wide number of temples across the globe and the mission is still going on. He is taking personally the responsibility of elevating the conditioned souls by initiating them worldwide.
At present he is the GBC for Mumbai, Northern India (New Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, UP, Vrindavan, Chandigarh), Mayapur, Kenya, Canada, some states of America and many parts of Commonwealth of Independent States. He is also the chairman and trustee of Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
Srila Prabhupada used to admire him and his qualities by often saying that “Gopal is a very nice boy and he must be encouraged.”
HH Gopal Krishna Goswami is the live example of an ideal Acarya who teaches by his own example following the footsteps of his spiritual master as it is and moving the mission at its zenith.
