Devotee:
Gurudev, Pranam (salutations).
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam, my son. Speak.
Devotee:
On your channel, we are constantly receiving comments asking where "Pagla Baba" is right now. What is his current location? You must have news of him.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Yes, he video calls me every day. He sent some photos yesterday which I will share in a day or two. Currently, he is in Monigram in the Murshidabad district. He will enter Malda next. There was such a large crowd there in Monigram—I saw nearly 150 to 200 people when he video-called me. I spoke to many of them last night; it felt very good.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Everyone is taking great care of him. They told me, "Gurudev, please don't worry. We will escort him all the way to Siliguri. We won't let him face any trouble on the road; we will arrange for his stay at various locations." They told me this yesterday. Later, Pagla Baba said, "Gurudev, I have found a new life. I never imagined so many people would love me." Every single person there has shown him love and provided him with shelter.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
He was previously at the Kiriteswari Temple, managed by the Bharat Sevashram Sangha. He has now moved from there to Monigram. Next, he will enter Malda. He is trying very hard, and a lot of people are helping him. I will upload the video on YouTube tomorrow.
Devotee:
Gurudev, the respect and recognition Pagla Baba is receiving is surely due to the blessings of "Maa" (the Divine Mother) and yourself.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It is all the Mother's blessing. I simply gave him permission when he asked to go. It is not about me. He is traveling, and people along the way are honoring him, inviting him in, and providing food and shelter. That is enough. He never expected this level of love or that so many people would come to meet him. His morale has increased significantly.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I have disciples all over. I don't know what will happen once he reaches North Bengal and Siliguri—so many people are already waiting for him there. They keep telling me they want to host him for a day. I also have many disciples in Assam who have taken initiation from me. So, he will receive support throughout the entire journey. There is no doubt about that.
Devotee:
It is a big deal to find such support while traveling. We noticed that Tapan-da is assisting him; he goes ahead by vehicle to find and arrange a place to stay, while Pagla Baba continues his journey on foot.
Devotee:
Thank you, Gurudev. Pranam to you.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Pranam.
Interviewer:
Baba, Pranam. You began your journey on foot from Kolkata to Kamakhya on November 26th for the cause of world peace. How do you feel now that you have arrived here at the Monigram Hindu Milan Mandir?
Pagla Baba:
Pranam. This Monigram Hindu Milan Mandir is an initiative of the Bharat Sevashram Sangha. I pray that the same love and care I have received here is extended to all monks and saints who visit in the future. I have seen the work being done here, even in its primary stages.
Pagla Baba:
I request everyone to extend a helping hand to this temple. We monks face many struggles and obstacles during our travels, so receiving support from brothers like you brings us great joy. We have received much help, and I am sure others will too. I once again request everyone to support the Monigram Hindu Milan Mandir.
Pagla Baba:
Vande Mataram! Jai Bharat Mata! Jai Hindu Milan Mandir! Jai Shri Ram!
