Sannyasa of Three: 3 July 2002

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

Sannyasa Initiations

given by His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj

today at our Dum Dum Park Temple, Calcutta,
Wednesday 3rd July 2002

Three new sannyasis were initiated today by His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj. The three devotees are well known to most who have visited the Temples here in West Bengal over the last few years. From left to right in the picture just below, they are:

Prabhu Krishnachandra (preacher of U.K. and Dum Dum Park Temple) is now Sripad Bhakti Jivan Parivrajak Maharaj;
Prabhu Narayan (hands-on manager of the Dum Dum Park Temple) is now Sripad Bhakti Madhurya Mangal Maharaj;
Prabhu Rukmini Kumar (former pujari, Dum Dum Park Temple) is now Sripad Bhakti Rasik Bhagavat Maharaj.

May we all join in offering them respects as well as all good wishes for success in their new position in life.
