Dear Devotees,

 

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

On January 23rd His Majesty The King of Nepal Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev awarded His Holiness Jayapataka Swami amongst 4 leaders of the World Hindu Federation for Their contribution towards the preservation, promotion and protection of Hindu Dharma in a special and very sumptuous function at Pragya Pratisthan Kendra (The Royal Academy) in Kathmandu - Nepal. This event was organized by The World Hindu Federation during the 16th executive meeting. At the same function the main donors who have offered big support to the WHF in Nepal were also awarded by the King.

 

It is important to mention that HH JPS gets this special award due to his preaching activities around the world for more than 35 years.

 

Once, one of the leaders praised HH Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaja for his preaching and for inspiring too many people to become followers of the Sanatan Dharma, but HH JPS humbly replied that this is not because of him but because of the Bhagavad-Gita and Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. HH Jayapataka Swami is one of the founders of the World Hindu Federation since 1981.

 

During our meetings we could hear from other Hindu Leaders glorifying the extraordinary work of all ISKCON devotees in preaching around the world and in performing great services to the community as well as in having important programs in the fields of education, social work, preaching the Vedic culture, making other people be interested in Vedic culture and in Sanskrit language, giving courses on sastras, converting people into vegetarians, distributing free food (FFL), preaching non-violence and love for Godhead, developing the conditions of the holy places and main tirthas in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, implementing Namahattas and Bhakti-vrkshas in communities and basically villages where actually there is a high risk in converting Hindus into other religions, etc. HH Jayapataka Swami as He mentions and feels that this award or recognition from the World Hindu Federation, the King & government of Nepal (the only Hindu kingdom in the world) is for all ISKCON devotees and for their preaching of God Consciousness everywhere to everyone as well as for helping others to understand the real meaning of life.

 

After this ceremony, Their Majesties King Gyanendra and Queen Komal visited the 'DHAM DARSAN-Exhibition-2004' where ISKCON have organized a Photo Exhibition about Sri Mayapur Dham. Their Majesties chatted with us about the Vedic Planetarium temple as well as about the activities of our society in the Holy Dham, They were very impressed and interested in our the activities of our society and about the Vedic Planetarium temple,( we had and exhibition about Sri Mayapur Dham, Food For Life, Srila Prabhupada's life biography with Pictures that we brought from Malaysia for this special occasion and Books. we also invited Their Majesties for the opening ceremony of the Vedic planetarium temple in the future, at the end we offered few books as gifts to the special guests.(we also distributed Bhajans and kirtans CD's as well as books to all the executive members). It is also important to mention as I could read in the news papers that during the last meeting of the WHF in Gorakhpur, His Majesty the King was named The Emperor of all Hindus in the world over since He is the only Hindu King at present.

 

On the 24th and 25th The Executive Members of The World Hindu federation had their 16th extraordinary meetings in Kathmandu inaugurated by the Honorable Prime Minister of Nepal.
