- Srila Govinda Maharaja returns to Kolkata Temple
- Srila
Govinda Maharaj settles back in his Dum Dum Park Temple, Kolkata.
The
devotees at the Sree Chaitanya Saraswata Krishnanushilana Sangha,
Kolkata, very happily welcomed Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami
Maharaj back to his verandah after the recent week in a nearby
Medical Centre. Srila Gurudev is already settled in and he is
showing much improved health. He is definitely pleased to have
taken this chance for medical checkups and for having a regulated,
peaceful environment conducive for regaining his strength after
the recent tour.
Srila Gurudev is full of praise for the professionalism of the
doctors who cared for him and for the personal care given by
the staff who honoured him with full VIP status.
Although
Srila Gurudev is showing stronger health and is in ever good
spirits, we all need to be aware that His Divine Grace is under
doctor's orders to take complete rest for a further three weeks.
Srila Gurudev has several times expressed that he is continuing
his seva in this world by the blessings of Srila Guru Maharaj
Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, and by the
affectionate prayers of the devotees.
May all the devotees' prayers continue as a valuable medicine
to our Divine Master. |
