The Vitalesh family, who coordinate the new preaching project in Porto Alegre, South of Brazil, invited Sripad Trivikram Maharaj for the opening of the second preaching and seva center of Srila Gurudeva's mission in Porto Alegre. For the satisfaction of Srila Gurudeva, November saw the opening of the first preaching and seva center connected to our SCSMath Mission in Porto Alegre named Srila Govinda Maharaj Seva Sangha and lead by Partha Sarathi Prabhu and Shivanandini Didi.

Inspired by Partha Sarathi Prabhu's and Shivanandini Didi's seva and preaching success, the Vitalesh family, lead by Venu Gita Didi, decided to expand Srila Gurudev's Mission opening a new meeting place in another neighborhood of the big Southern capital city.  The new place opened on January 23, 2005 with the presence of all of Srila Gurudeva's disciples and guests that engaged in service for the pleasure of Srila Gurudeva, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj.
