03 - Jayapataka Swami in Atlanta - Tour 2009

Jayapataka Swami was born John Gordan Erdman on April 9, 1949 (the ekadasi after ramanavami) in

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA to John Hubert and Lorraine Erdman. He was born into opulent surroundings,

his fathers father being the founder of a large paint factory, which was a multi-million dollar

concern at the time of his birth. Later HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja was glad to see that his name -

Gordan John (Gour Dhan Jan) - already suggested what Srila Prabhuapda confirmed, that he and two

other devotees were formerly associates of Lord Caitanya and that they had taken their birth in the

west to facilitate spreading Krishna consciousness around the world.
