Sripad Bhakti Pavan Janardan Maharaj went to Sri Nabadwip Dham to associate with His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj. Association with a pure devotee is the most auspicious thing and as Jagadananda Prabhu once told us here, "We are like crystals, we reflect whatever light we are around." So Sripad Janardan Maharaj, after having taken shelter in Sri Nabadwip Dham in the association of Srila Gurudev has returned to share his enthusiasm and affectionate energy with all of the devotees in Soquel.

Srutasrava Prabhu to the right, two days before leaving to Europe to participate in the distribution of Krishna consciousness. As Sripad Goswami Maharaj once said: "Self improvement through distribution." There is so much wealth in the process of sharing Krishna consciousness.

Sripad Madhav Maharaj from Russia once asked a few devotees that had gathered around him after a slide-show presentation in Nabadwip, "What is the best way to make progress in Krishna consciousness?" Some said to do service, others said to surrender, etc. and he replied: "Sravanam, kirtanam, sravanam kirtanam. Like rowing a boat. Sravanam, kirtanam."
