Shreemad Bhagavat Mahapuran Saptah In Dallas

Testimony by a devotee
Past week, I realized once again how blessed I am when I had the chance to listen to the Shreemad Bhagavat
Mahapuran Saptah by Swami Mukundananda.
Swamiji transported the audience into the realms of divine love. He rendered the amar katha elegantly in English
and quoted verses from Bhagavat puran, Ramayan, and Bhagavat Gita, backing his narration with scriptural
authority. Reflecting the tone of devotion and the characteristic of Bhagavatam, Swamiji delineated each avatar of
Shree Hari, His various pastimes, and His sublime deeds.
While Swamijis nectarous narration of Shree Krishnas bala leelas evoked love and laughter in the diverse
audience with ages ranging from 7 to 80, other leelas moved us to tears, yet bringing a sense of tranquility
A certain kind of calmness has descended on me by just engaging in a few minutes of conversation with
Swamiji, said the Honorable Mayor, Harry LaRosiliere of Plano, TX, while attending the program on August
13th. Welcoming Swamiji to his city, he acclaimed the JKYogs efforts in the field of holistic health of the body,
mind, and soul. In appreciation of the noble endeavors and undertakings of JKYog in the service of humankind, the
Mayor presented the special recognition certificate.
By the 5th day of the Bhagavat Saptah, the festive aura set in as Ram Janma was celebrated. The Bhagavat Saptah
culminated with Krishna Janma celebrations. We wore our finest traditional attire and prepared various sweet
dishes to offer to the Lord.
Each day turned out into such a celebration of divine love that we couldnt help but be enchanted by Him. In the
ecstasy of devotion, Swamiji lead us in dancing to the sweet bhajans of Kripalu Maharaj ji.
I dont want this to end, said Jayashree, a devotee from Plano, TX. She continued, Swamiji has handed us the
cream of Bhagavat in a beautiful manner. This is so sweet that I would love to relive these moments.
I heard Pooja, another devotee from Frisco, TX, pleading, Swamiji, can you please give a month-long discourse
on Krishna leelas?
As for me, like for most of the fellow devotees, after being drenched in the showers of nectar for seven
days in a row, it was hard to part with Swamiji. However, the thought of attending the upcoming retreat
in Fortworth and being in the company of Swamiji, who always cheerfully imparts the invaluable
treasures of his wisdom, gave me some solace.
With Love & Respect
