By Radha Mohan Das
No less that twenty brahmacharis and devotees from Bhaktivedana Manor ventured to Mauritius for two weeks of preaching, kirtan and association with the local devotees.
Their main host was Nitya Gopal Prabhu, who very kindly allowed them to stay in his empty house and also helped arrange their transport. Mukund from Pure Veg generously took care of their prasadam, making the whole tour much easier for them.
They began with a huge Harinama in Port Louis, joined by many of the local devotees. The energy of the brahmacharis was infectious, and it was wonderful to see the local devotees responding enthusiastically to the kirtan.
That evening they performed the Boatman and Scholar drama at the Pancha Tattva Temple. The local devotees particularly appreciated the energetic kirtans of the brahmacharis, and the whole evening had a wonderful atmosphere.
At the Radha-Golokananda Temple, they performed a drama about Srila Prabhupada, which was very well received. They then continued their Harinama preaching in Rose Belle, a place especially significant because Srila Prabhupada himself had visited there during his time in Mauritius.
On their final day, they held the Sunday programme at the Krishna-Balaram Temple, built by Sriniketan das, one of Srila Prabhupada’s disciples. Srila Prabhupada had sent him to Mauritius because he could speak French.
There they performed Narada and the Cobbler, followed by a kirtan which brought the tour to a fitting conclusion.
As the devotees began leaving, something very touching happened. They were inundated with heartfelt messages from the local devotees. Many expressed how much they had appreciated the association, the kirtans and dramas.
One expression summed it up beautifully:
“You were like a mobile travelling temple.”
For the brahmacharis, it was certainly a tiring two weeks. The days were long, the travelling demanding and the preaching took plenty of energy. But alongside the exhaustion came something much more valuable — the experience of seeing how Krishna consciousness can bring devotees together across countries and cultures.

Sri Ramachandra Vijayotsava (Dusshera)
Ramacandra Vijayotsava celebrates Lord Ramachandra’s victory over the demon Ravana on the tenth day of the waxing moon in the month of Asvina. This sacred festival honors the triumph of dharma, love, and truth over darkness, and is marked by jubilant celebrations in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu held this festival in the highest esteem, dressing His devotees as monkey soldiers and displaying the ecstatic moods of Hanuman while celebrating Lord Ramachandra’s conquest of Lanka. According to the Caitanya-caritamrita, the Lord manifested transcendental pastimes on this auspicious day, taking a tree branch and mounting the walls of Lanka in jubilant devotion.
This observance became central to the Gaudiya tradition, exemplifying how the divine pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead inspire unalloyed devotional service. In ISKCON centers worldwide, Ramachandra Vijayotsava is celebrated with feasts where devotees chant, dance, take prasadam, and rejoice in the victory of Krishna consciousness.

Gaura Marshall: Hare Krishna dear friends and well wishers.
Please Accept our Humble Obeisances All Glories to Guru and Gauranga, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Last night at 7.23pm on the 9/10/26 Jaya Dasa (Jaya Tirtha Charan Dasa) (JTCD) aka John Marshall left this material world.
Over the past few months, JTCDs health had deteriorated so much so that his ability to do anything independently had left him.
Rather than putting him in care, we as a family stood together and cared for him at home 24/7.
We had a little help from outside services, but we did most of the heavy lifting ourselves.
We made him comfortable in his house, in front of his dieties so that if anything was going to happen, he will be in the right place.
Over the past few days, local friends and well wishers had all come and paid their respects and finally last night HH Janananda Maharaj video called and chanted to my father for about 1hr…but it seemed as though my father was still waiting for 1 last thing before getting permission to depart… blessings from HH Jayapataka Swami.
Maharaj made contact with my father at approx 6.30pm and gave him his blessings.
Finally at 7.23pm, focusing on the holy names with his dear Radhika Raman, Krishna Balaram, JBS and Shalagram Sila deities as a witness, with Srila Prabhupada chanting, family chanting by his side, JTCD composed himself and blew out his last breath.
There was not a fight to stay in this body or appearance of pain, he was fully absorbed in going back home, back to godhead.
We are so proud to have him set an example and show us “how it is done”.
JTCDs body will be cremated today 10/10/26
***Notice***
After 3 days, on Monday 12/10/26 there be a small intimate get together of his close well wishes & friends.
After 10 days, on Monday the 19/10/26 there will be a memorial for the greater community.
This is all by his request & instructions.
If you would like to support our family during this time through Koha or Donations see that account below.
