B.V Akinchana Maharaj

How was your consecration day?

It was the most atractive but simple at the same time. The most atractive because of over there were two pure devotees: Srila Guru Maharaj and Gurudeva Atulananda, the blessings of eminent devotees such as: prabhu Radha Govinda from Colombia and prabhu Kanka das, and the presence of wonderful devotees whohad arrived to receiveiniciation in the same sacrificial fire.

The happening was offered in the temole of Flower neighborhood in Buenos Aires in june of 1996.
Gurudeva was directed the sacrificial fire, meanwhile Guru Maharaj leadered beautiful words to the people, like praying to the Lord to receive his blessings in those kind moments.

Ther was a grey sky and it had already rainning. Previously to receive the sannyas order, Guru Maharaj inveted me to go up into his place, and he personaly gave me the clothes, the sacred cord, and the gayatri.

-In what places do you develop your preaching?

Well, in this moment, I am visiting the temples of North of Colombia, mainly, Varsana in Bogota.

The instruction is to encourage in anyway all Colombian devotees, in order to them go to visit Varsana, the Holy Dham; to they worship and give a service to His Lordship Sri Sri Guru Gouranga Radha Vrajesvara, the principal Ishtadev of Srila Guru Maharaj and his Mission.

-What is your favorite activity in your spiritual practice?

My favorite activity is to help the vaishnavas as i can, on the other hand , I have still in my heart the desire to distribute literature as in past times.

-What advice would you give to the devotees who have the desire to receive the sacred order of sannyasi?
The advice taht I would give to those who want to renounce is that they never leave that goal.
Be pretentious, and obstinate without desist, praying to the Lord to him gives them strength to fulfill with the duties.
Behind of each opportunity to enjoy is hidden an opportunity to renounce. Nobody wish to abandon something better for something worse.
Well, I am nobody to talk about a sublime chapter from the Bhagavad Gita.
