Request for help in Bhubaneswar
Raya Ramananda
Dear family,
Please accept my respectful obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I felt the need to inform you of and reach out to you regarding the following: last weekend a tragedy took place at the ISKCON centre in Bhubaneswar, India. As the article below will explain you, the bhajan kutir of Srila Prabhupada and the samadhi mandir of HH Gour Govinda Swami was demolished by local authorities. Currently the devotees try to raise funds which are required to transfer the siddha deha (the spiritual body) of HH Gour Govinda Maharaj to the museum in the temple. My aim with this email is to inform you of the events, to request for a prayer and, for those who want, inform you of the possibility to help in the form of a donation, see: (http://www.dandavats.com/?p=64893).
How I came to know of HH Gour Govinda Maharaj:
It's through my dear wife that I came to know of HH Gour Govinda Maharaj. I especially appreciate his uncompromising presentation of Krishna Consciousness, which is so much needed in this degrading day and age. I read about his life story and met many of his disciples and can understand that he is a very very special soul. I vividly remember our visit with Madhava Gauranga prabhu, Abhiram Nitai prabhu and others to Bhubaneswar in 2009. So many good memories and deep lectures by the mercy of HG Madhavananda prabhu and the wonderful arrangements of HG Krishna Kund mataji.
A week and a half ago we attended a couple of lectures of HH Haladhar Swami (disciple of Gour Govinda Maharaj and Sannyas disciple of HH Radha Govinda Swami ) in the Netherlands and, by his mercy, felt once again very much connected to Gour Govinda Maharaj. We planned to go to Munchen to attend another week of his lectures, when this was suddenly cancelled due to the current events. Maharaj was called to Bhubaneswar to help his spiritual family there and to bring order in the chaos. Sending this email is the least I can do to help....
Thank you for you time and consideration. I sincerely hope that this email receives you in good health and in strong Krishna Consciousness.
Your insignificant godbrother,
Raya Ramananda dasa
