Reporter:
We just received news that the flag of the Puri temple has blown off again.
Guru:
Yes, the flag of Puri has fallen again. It is a very ominous sign. The flag won't stay. It is the flag of the Supreme Vaishnava. Notice one thing: a kite (bird) sat there. Kites eat fish and meat; that is why the flag is ruined. The Lord's crown is almost at the edge of ruin. His head is ruined.
Guru:
And notice, every time this has happened, it was on the day of Ekadashi. This is very surprising. Ekadashi is strictly observed there. The first time the flag fell, it was Ekadashi. The day the kite sat on the temple, it was Ekadashi. Today is also Ekadashi. The previous time the flag fell, it was also on Ekadashi.
Guru:
Ekadashi is observed very strictly there, whether it is Shukla Ekadashi or Krishna Ekadashi. Whatever is happening is occurring on Ekadashi. Look at the water standing in front of the Puri temple—it's deep enough to drown a scooter. There is so much rain, and not only that, lightning is striking constantly. People there are thinking that this has never happened before; such flooding in front of the Puri temple.
Guru:
I feel that the Lord's head has been struck. There is nothing left to do. Perhaps the Lord no longer wishes to stay. Those who are the servants (priests) of the Puri temple have not done good deeds. The Lord is the King, Jagannath, the Lord of the Universe. He gives Darshan to everyone. But the amount of money taken from people just to see the Lord is unimaginable. The Lord could not tolerate this. He is the King and belongs to everyone, but the Pandas (priests) of Puri have committed such atrocities—they even kept the Lord without food for four days. Now, the consequences must be suffered.
Guru:
This is an ominous sign. People keep asking, after Corona, what else could be worse? Fish are jumping out of the sea in Puri. It is written in the Jagannath Bhagavatam that Puri will be submerged or the sea will engulf it. This is a matter of great concern. What is coming next? Amphan happened, COVID-19 is here. What is next?
Reporter:
Frequent earthquakes are occurring.
Guru:
Frequent earthquakes... this is a very bad sign. An extremely bad sign.
Reporter:
War has started at the border.
Guru:
War has started at the border. It is as if India is being surrounded from all sides. Amidst all this, the flag keeps falling. This is the fourth time. And all four times, it happened on Ekadashi. It is a serious matter. Today, the flag fell again on Ekadashi. We usually perform any work for Lord Jagannath on Shukla or Krishna Ekadashi, but now, every time it is Ekadashi, the Lord suffers a loss.
Guru:
The flag has fallen, and they are worried about what is coming next. I am also worried. I cannot view the falling of the flag in a positive light. Something is coming. Every time the flag falls, some major event follows. I don't know what will happen this time, but the flag is sacred. A kite has never sat there in history, but now it has. The result won't be good. It increases my anxiety. This happened just five hours ago. I feel a sense of dread about what the future holds.
Reporter:
Do you see a direct connection between Ekadashi and the flag falling?
Guru:
Yes, there is a strong connection. It happens on every Shukla or Krishna Ekadashi. Ekadashi is highly revered at the Jagannath temple. But for it to fall repeatedly on this day is not a good sign. I feel the Lord no longer wants to stay.
Guru:
Who knows what will happen? Another flag has fallen. You might know that a tectonic plate under the sea has broken. If this leads to a tidal surge or something similar... I expect a major earthquake. Scientists are saying it will be even bigger than expected. This worries me deeply. War, earthquakes... I don't see these as good signs. A cataclysm is coming.
Guru:
2020 is a year of death. I mentioned this even before 2020 started—that something terrible was coming. The Lord is repeatedly reminding people: "Be ready. Prepare yourselves." More is yet to happen.
