Preparing
the nat-mandir for the first programme since remodeling began.
The
basic floor and edging is complete. Polishing has not begun.
Prabhu
Bhudev, Sri Govindasundarjiu's pujari, fasting but serving tirelessly.
Chant
and be happy: Prabhu Jadu Gopal and Prabhu Jagadananda.
Accepting
offerings to Their Lordships from local villagers, residents of
Sri Gupta-Govardhan.
The
new open-style nat-mandir decorated for the occasion.
Rice-flour
designs on the front of Srila Guru Maharaj's Samadhi Mandir...
...and
on the plinth of Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharva Govindasundarjiu's
Mandir.
Continuous
reading from the Scriptures throughout the day...
...and
into the early evening.
Their
Lordships hearing Their glories being chanted.
Evening,
and new flags, but no breeze to show them, as devotees head towards
a special night commemorating Lord Krishna's Appearance over 5,000 years
ago.

Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Nabadwip
