19th World Tour Dispatch

Branch of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math
Srila
Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj seems to be in a very happy mood
here in London. He is getting much rest and privacy, and all the devotees are
respecting this and are very enlivened to see their Gurudev in such a relaxed
and satisfied mood. Every day (apart for this morning because His Divine Grace
had an opticians appointment) Srila Govinda Maharaj has been meeting with the
devotees both early in the morning and in the afternoon. Yesterday he walked
up Green Street in the evening looking in the local shop windows, attracting
the pranams and respect of local Hindus on the street as well as astonished
looks from others to see this elderly Holy Man from India.
The talks from his Holy lips have been nothing short of astonishing. Although
informal, we continue to hear all kinds of transmissions from the Divine World
filled with slokas and siddhanta the likes of which we have not heard since
the time of Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, all couched in
the unique and humorous style of Srila Govinda Maharaj. It is a great and wondrous
event to be part of and we all consider ourselves most blessed and unimaginably
fortunate that again those holy feet are walking on "England's green and pleasant
land." Long may it continue!
Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj ki jaya!
I beg to remain
