Srila B. V. Jajavar Maharaj
Srila Bhakti Vichar Jajavar Gosvami Maharaj
-by B. S. Govinda Maharaj
Sripad Jajavar Maharaj was the last sannyasi disciple of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur. A few months before Srila Saraswati Thakur disappeared, he gave sannyas to Jajavar Maharaj.
At that time Jajavar Maharaj had fear to take sannyas. Srila Prabhupad (Saraswati Thakur) asked him why does he hesitate. Jajavar Maharaj replied that sannyas is very heavy, he is very young and if he can't maintain it then it will be very difficult and therefore he has much fear. Srila Saraswati Thakur said that you are going to take shelter at Abhay-Charan, the fearless feet of Godhead, so why hesitate. Sannyas means you will deny everything, and closely take shelter of the seva of Guru-Vaishnava. Prabhupad gave him sannyas, and, right up to the end, Jajavar Maharaj maintained his sannyas nicely.
Jajavar Maharaj joined Srila Saraswati Thakur's Gaudiya Mission at a very young age. He could sing the songs very nicely, He was very simple. My composed sloka says he is looking very simple and that there was no inauspicious shadow in his body, always he appeared very auspicious, and he tried his best always to serve Srila Saraswati Thakur.
He was not a great pandit, but he had many pandits as his disciples. Why? Because he was a simple and great Vaishnava.
I offer my obeisance unto my great master, the worshippable Srimad Bhakti Vichar Jajavar Maharaj. He is a beautiful follower of Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur and has been a bee in the lotus feet of the Lord since his youth. He has a divine form and a moonlike face. He is filled with the Name’s ecstasy and his heart is tranquil. He is gentle, he relieves the fallen of their distress, and he delivers the world.
