Guru Shyama Khyapa: I have no other questions; my only question is this: The Daitapati (chief servitor) has been in Puri from the very beginning, so why was he sacked? That is my question. So, will Lord Jagannath come out of the Puri temple and hand the Brahma Padartha (the divine substance) over to him? Or will it float in the Ganges again? I don't know what will happen. I can't say for sure, but something is about to happen—this much I know.
Narrator: Pranam, Gurudev. Welcome everyone to the Gupta Sadhak Shamakhyapa 2.0 YouTube channel. This is our new channel. Our previous channel was out of our control for a while, but thanks to your immense love, we have gotten it back. Let me also inform you that this new channel is no longer limited just to YouTube; you can now find us on Facebook and Instagram as well. The links are in the description box.
Narrator: But these announcements will continue. I want to turn to Gurudev now. Gurudev, in a previous video, we heard you say a few things about Lord Jagannath. In this episode, I request you to share your thoughts in your own way. I know your health is not very good right now...
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Leave my health aside. There are certain things I still haven't been able to fully comprehend. I am a great Tantrik—not a small-time one—and I have worked with a strong reputation in West Bengal.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Right now, a question is arising in my mind. The Jagannath Temple in Puri will undoubtedly submerge; it will be finished by the year 2026. At that time, the Kalki Avatar will arrive and take over the place, and seven other Chiranjeevis (immortals) will come to assist him. This is how it will unfold. Lord Krishna once said that one day of battle still remains. This will be a terrifying war, and those seven immortals will help him. So, that part is fine.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: However, I have a massive confusion regarding our new Jagannath temple in Digha. There is huge confusion regarding this. The locals are saying it cannot be called a Dham (a major holy pilgrimage site). If it is called a Dham, a case might be filed in the High Court, and it could be shut down.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: The main thing I still don't understand is the role of the Daitapati who helped push this forward, and the fact that ISKCON is behind it. Honestly, I do not trust ISKCON at all. I have said this very clearly many times before. But what is meant to happen will happen. There is the original Jagannath Temple in Puri, and now there is this one here in Digha. I cannot reconcile the two. There cannot be more than four Dhams. I told you this before.
Narrator: Yes, you explained the details of the four Dhams in the previous episode.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Anyway, I have my doubts now. It certainly cannot be called a Dham. Calling it a Dham is highly inappropriate. Perhaps it can be named after Vasu Jagannath or Krishna. ISKCON has built it, and they have no connection with anyone else; they run things their own way. Regardless, I just pray that this situation doesn't take a turn for the worse. That is my fear.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Another massive question keeps surfacing in my mind: What will happen to the Brahma Padartha that resides inside Lord Jagannath? Will it be brought here and installed? Or will it dissolve within the temple itself? There is immense confusion regarding this.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: The miracles of Lord Chaitanya and our Lord Jagannath are endless. The Brahma Padartha within the idol is actually the heart of Lord Krishna. When Krishna's mortal body was being cremated—everyone was present there—this Brahma Padartha was not burning. A divine message came from Krishna stating that it would not burn. The Brahma Padartha cannot be cremated. Fire cannot burn it, and water cannot dissolve or wet it. Only Lord Jagannath possesses it, and it currently resides within his idol.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: So, what will happen to it now? It's a huge matter. I had some faith in the Daitapati who used to protect the Puri Dham. But now he is no longer there; I have learned that he was sacked for various reasons. In the upcoming Rath Yatra in '25 or '26, he will not be included.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: My only point is: such a prominent Daitapati was so essential. Did he do something right or wrong? I cannot comprehend it. Will this Brahma Padartha eventually be brought here [to Digha]? Because without the Brahma Padartha, Lord Jagannath has no true existence. If the core is absent, his essence is absent.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Eventually, a vulture will come at the very end, which will shake the temple, and it will go underwater. Just as Dwarka sank, Puri too will sink beneath the ocean. The future will tell; I cannot say for sure.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: But the question remains: What will happen to the Brahma Padartha? What are the authorities thinking? I want to pose this question: Why do you want to separate this Brahma Padartha? We will just have to sit and watch. When the Puri Jagannath Temple is destroyed and goes underwater, what will happen to the divine substance in Jagannath's chest? Will there be another divine revelation in a dream? I don't know.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: One thing that repeatedly comes to mind is that Krishna's life force is inside the idol. Because of this, the Lord gets a fever, he catches a cough, doctors treat him, and then he recovers. It is because this divine substance is in his body that he is able to perform so many miracles today and grant divine visions to the people.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: I have no other questions; my only question is this: The Daitapati has been in Puri from the very beginning, so why was he sacked? Will Lord Jagannath come out of the Puri temple and hand the Brahma Padartha over to him? Or will it float in the Ganges again? I don't know what will happen. But something is about to happen—this much I know. With this, I conclude my words.
Narrator: You all heard Gurudev's words. While listening, you must have noticed that he was having a little difficulty speaking due to shortness of breath. Gurudev has a significant breathing issue. Although it wasn't overly apparent here, we could notice it slightly. Nevertheless, Gurudev shared his thoughts and concerns with you.
Narrator: In the meantime, we have also seen in the newspapers that the Puri Temple authorities might be planning to impose bans on certain statements regarding the temple. Anyway, those matters are unfolding.
Narrator: Let me reiterate once again that the Gupta Sadhak Shamakhyapa 2.0 channel is not just on YouTube anymore; it is also on Facebook and Instagram. You will find the links in the description box. Also, we have gotten our old channel back! The name is Gupta Sadhak Shamakhyapa, which many of you already know. New videos are being uploaded there, as well as here. Please support both channels.
Narrator: Stay healthy, stay well. Pranam, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Pranam, pranam, pranam.
