| Video Discription | Born in 1949, in the village of Aravade in Maharashtra India, HH Lokanath Swami (born Raghunath Patil) always had an ambition to dedicate his life to serving people, his country and humanity. Bereft of resources, he did not know where to begin. It was while studying Chemistry in Bombay that his life was irrevocably changed. He daily attended the first 10 day Cross Maidan Pandal Festival in 1971 organised by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and his Western disciples. Although Lokanath Swami did not personally meet Srila Prabhupada at this festival, His Divine Grace’s spiritually elevating discourses and the energetic kirtana by the devotees stole his heart. He could not afford much, but managed to buy some small Srimad-Bhagavatam booklets and several Back to Godhead magazines. These purchases were what kept him connected to Srila Prabhupada and the devotees during the time that he could not locate them. It seemed that this extraordinary group of people had miraculously appeared and disappeared. It was at the 1972 Hare Krishna Festival that he finally decided to forsake his studies, permanently join ISKCON and move into the temple in Bombay. When his family were unable to locate him, they feared the worst. He had once before left home to join an asarama. On the pretext that his mother was gravely ill, he was asked to come back home to Aravade. After a month of unsuccessful dissuasion to leave ISKCON, he returned to Bombay. It was in Vrndavan on Gopasatami 1972 that he became an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada. He received the sannyasa order from His Divine Grace in December 1975, at the age of 26 years. Lokanath Dasa officially became Lokanath Swami. One of the most important instructions he received from Srila Prabhupada was to preach Lord Caitanya’s message by organising Padayatra (a walking festival) worldwide in order to realise Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s declaration – “the holy name of Krsna will be preached in every town and village on this earth.” The first leg of the journey was from Vrndavana to Mayapur. In the course of his Padayatra service, His Holiness travelled on foot to many of the major tirthas and sacred sites of India. One of Srila Prabhupada’s final wishes was to go on parikrama in Vrndavana with Lokanath Swami leading the way. This was never realised. As per Srila Prabhupada’s wishes, in 1996 Lokanath Swami was appointed as ISKCON Minister for Srila Prabhupada Centennial. He co-ordinated a global campaign. This magnificent Centennial celebrations achieved unprecedented success in terms of the number of Srila Prabhupada’s books distributed, plates of prasada served and festivals conducted worldwide. Lokanath Swami has worked on establishing many temples – ISKCON Aravade, ISKCON Nagpur, ISKCON Amravati, ISKCON Noida, ISKCON Pandharpur, ISKCON Solapur, to name a few. 1949 में, महाराष्ट्र भारत के अरवडे गाँव में जन्मे, परम पूज्य लोकनाथ स्वामी (जन्म रघुनाथ पाटिल) हमेशा लोगों, अपने देश और मानवता की सेवा के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित करने की महत्वाकांक्षा रखते थे। संसाधनों के अभाव में उन्हें समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि शुरुआत क1949 में, महाराष्ट्र भारत के अरवडे गाँव में जन्मे, परम पूज्य लोकनाथ स्वामी (जन्म रघुनाथ पाटिल) हमेशा लोगों, अपने देश और मानवता की सेवा के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित करने की महत्वाकांक्षा रखते थे। संसाधनों के अभाव में उन्हें समझ नहीं आ रहा था कि शुरुआत कहाँ से करें। बॉम्बे में रसायन विज्ञान का अध्ययन करते समय उनका जीवन अपरिवर्तनीय रूप से बदल गया था। उन्होंने १९७१ में इंटरनेशनल सोसाइटी फॉर कृष्णा कॉन्शियसनेस (इस्कॉन) के संस्थापक एसी भक्तिवेदांत स्वामी प्रभुपाद और उनके पश्चिमी शिष्यों द्वारा आयोजित पहले १० दिवसीय क्रॉस मैदान पंडाल महोत्सव में भाग लिया। यद्यपि लोकनाथ स्वामी व्यक्तिगत रूप से इस उत्सव में श्रील प्रभुपाद से नहीं मिले थे, लेकिन उनकी दिव्य कृपा के आध्यात्मिक रूप से उन्नत प्रवचनों और भक्तों द्वारा ऊर्जावान कीर्तन ने उनका दिल चुरा लिया। वह ज्यादा खर्च नहीं कर सकते थे लेकिन कुछ छोटी श्रीमद-भागवतम पुस्तिकाएं और कई बैक टू गॉडहेड पत्रिकाएं खरीदने में कामयाब रहे । इन खरीदों ने उन्हें उस समय के दौरान श्रील प्रभुपाद और भक्तों से जोड़े रखा था, जब वे उनका पता नहीं लगा सके। ऐसा लग रहा था कि लोगों का यह असाधारण समूह चमत्कारिक रूप से प्रकट हुआ और गायब हो गया। यह 1972 के हरे कृष्ण महोत्सव में था कि उन्होंने अंततः अपनी पढ़ाई छोड़ने, स्थायी रूप से इस्कॉन में शामिल होने और बॉम्बे के मंदिर में जाने का फैसला किया। जब उसके परिजन उसका पता नहीं लगा पाए तो उन्हें सबसे ज्यादा डर लगा। वह एक बार आश्रम में शामिल होने के लिए मना घर से निकले थे। इस बहाने कि उनकी माँ की हालत गंभीर है, उन्हें घर वापस अरवडे आने के लिए कहा गया। इस्कॉन छोड़ने के एक महीने के असफल करने के बाद, वह बंबई लौट आया। 1972 में गोपाष्टमी के दिन वृंदावन में वे श्रील प्रभुपाद के दीक्षित शिष्य बने। उन्हें २६ वर्ष की आयु में दिसंबर १९७५ में उनकी दिव्य कृपा से संन्यास आदेश प्राप्त हुआ। लोकनाथ दास आधिकारिक तौर पर लोकनाथ स्वामी बन गए। |
