Srila
Gurudev, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj, also
speaks of an historic visit to Hapaniya with Srila Sridhar Maharaj:
That
day we came here with Guru Maharaj, a humble meeting was held
here in this very place. As shelter, only a tarpaulin was
erected above our heads. We sat on the ground, and Guru Maharaj
sat on a chair. He discussed various slokas. At that time
it was my greatest fortune to hear a special sloka from my
Guru Maharaj for the first time. Guru Maharaj wanted to inject
our hearts with the feeling that we had come to the Holy Abode.

kincha trnagulma-kikatamukham
gosthe samastam hi tat
sarvvandamaye mukundadayitam
lilanukulam param
He
told us, "Everything here is transcendental and very auspicious.
If you can see in this way, you will be benefitted. You will
retrieve your transcendental life, and also, you will attain
the service of Srimati Radharani." In this way, Guru Maharaj
gave his blessings to us here on that day, and we always remember
that. I have tried to speak a little of the glories of Guru
Maharaj, for his satisfaction, and I know that if I can see
the meaning of his sloka, my prayer must reach its destination
very easily."
