All glories to Srila Prabhupada!! All glories to Guru maharaj! PAOHO ....at Your Lotus feet!
Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,
We three of us ...two young students included.....were at Puri just the day before it was hit by the cyclone...! We had Shree Jagannath, Baladeva and Mother Subhadra's darshan and got accomodation at Shree Caitanya Gauriya Math, the birthplace of Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Swami Maharaj . We got wonderful darshan.....great prasadam and got time to relax under the kalpa vrksha ! HH Paramanidhi Maharaj took great care of us and told us to come to Puri every year. His Holiness arranged an autorikshaw for us so that we could visit the holy places of Mahaprabhu's pastimes...Gambhira, Sarvabhauma's ashram, Siddha Bakul, Samadhi mandir of Jagannath Babaji, Gundicha Mandir,Tota Gopinath....
We were cursed by a pujari too....while taking darshan, he grabbed my hand...and started saying some mantras...asked gotra....swami's name etc. Told the pujari that am a Bhramacharini....and offered him 500rupees. He was demanding more money....and as I moved on, he shouted... You won't get married and have children!! Sudip , our student being a Bengali, understood the language and felt very unhappy. Later, when Sudip told me about the pujari's curse, I was indeed very happy!!!
Then we reached Nabadwip , stayed at Gopal Dev mandir . Had darshan of Radha Madhava at Mayapur. We visited Kalna and had darshan of Gaura Gadadhara.
Everything went fine Guru Maharaj. Thank you so much. Cyclone came after we left Puri. The Kolkata airport opened on the day we were to fly back to Imphal.
HH Haridasa Maharaj will be at Mayapur today for a meeting.
We are working on the printing of NOI in local language. We have a staff who has a printing machine and we have asked him the total cost of printing 2000copies. How do we make the cover attractive Maharaj? Which pictures should we put? We would like to get it done in a couple of months' time,if not earlier.
We are concerned about Guru Maharaj's health. We pray that Guru Maharaj recovers fast .
Your ignorant servant,
Sarada Gaurangi DD
HpS - Reverend Brahmacarini, Paoho. Wonderful news. Maybe your will be a personal friend of Visnu-priya in your next life if you continue like this!
Send some cover suggestions to this Blog. Of course coordinate with the BBT!!
Such a nice trip. You can see we have not been traveling. We are resting in Murfreesboro and then take off again June 5th. Yesteday, the hay fever, allergy was INCREDIBLE, like putting salt into an open cut. Then today. . . nothing. We have so much work that we just chant Hare Krsna and let Krsna decide what we will do.
Hope the Kapi Dhvaja helps!!!
