Arcana: A taste of Deity Worship

An experience in Arcana - Deity Worship @Mayapur Academy is concluded On the last note of our beloved Gurudeva, His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami, I was able to swim in the ocean of mercy of Śrī Guru and Gauranga, here in Śrī Māyāpur Dhāma. Śrīla Prabhupāda started worshipping Gaura-Nitai in Māyāpur and instructed his dear disciples to do the same. Jananivas Prabhu took up the service and soon instructed others. It is 2024. We have experienced everything that Māyāpur has to offer. We served behind the curtains to give blissful Darshan of Their Lordships Radha-Madhava Asta-Sakhi, Panca-Tattva & Prahlad-Narasimha-Deva. We danced and chanted extensively in the worlds birthplace of Harinam Sankirtan, and hopefully we tasted a little bit of that Nectar that Gaura-Nitai has to offer. I can only speak for myself, as these four months of International Arcana Diploma course have been deeply transformative and purifying through Sadhu Sanga, Kirtana, Prasadam, Parikramas and the service within the Deity Worship department. Actually, every school day was a profound experience of devotional service, and certainly everyone was blessing us with more nectar. We received so much in the form of wisdom, given by the Acaryas and foremost Śrīla Prabhupāda. We received direct blessings from His Divine Grace‘s disciples and grand disciples like HG Jananivas Prabhu, HG Kurma Caitanya Prabhu, HG Kṛṣṇa Kantha Prabhu and many more. Also, we received tools to be practically clean and ready for first-class Deity Worship. Hereby, I would like to invite all of my friends, devotees of the Lord, to do the same and come to Māyāpur for this rare opportunity. It is serious indeed, it is intense and surely it is a wonderful way to come closer to Radha-Kṛṣṇa, Gaura-Nitai and the transcendental mellow of devotional service.
