Online since 1995 Updates, March 2007:	(Please prepare pictures before sending to us, and preferably send material as prepared webpages.)

Updated March 2007 with web-pages of recent selected events and reports. This year's Sri Gaura-Purnima Festivals were yet again the biggest ever. Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj is graciously blessing the many visiting devotees with regular morning darshans as well as additional informal association, answering questions and guiding each devotee's life of service.

This year was our largest Sri Gaura-Purnima Festival ever! During this festival period, along with the Eastern and Western devotee-pilgrims came a huge flood of letters, seva offerings and gifts for His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj.
As much as we would like to, regrettably we are unable to send a reply for each and every one individually and pray the devotees will all be satisfied that Srila Gurudev acknowledges your kind concerns for his health, your affectionate well wishes and your many seva offerings. His Divine Grace sends his "affection, blessings, good will and love" to you all.
Sincerely, -The Office Team

The new Vaishnava Calendar is expected in early April however a draft calendar for 2007-2008 is available.
This year the *original* panjika from which the Bengali calendar is calculated is being published particularly late in Calcutta. Hence the delay. The Bengali calendar is not yet made, hence we cannot make the English version.
In the meantime, as a good guideline, a draft calendar for 2007-2008 up to next Sri Gaura-Purnima has been calculated by our astrologer enthusiast devotee, Natabara Prabhu, living in UK, based on the Math's method of calculating the dates and times for Nabadwip.
