Srila Govinda Maharaj has safely arrived in Russia after extending his stay in Thailand to recuperate his health. Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj is now at our temple in St. Petersburg and is reported to be in steady health and good spirits.

Successful prayers around the world invoked a grand response from all corners of the globe, and touched the heart of Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj who said, "It is the grace of Srila Guru Maharaj that I have got so much affection from the Vaishnavas everywhere. Everything is his grace."
A second worldwide prayer will take place on Sri Krishna Janmastami at 4pm St. Petersburg time (see international time chart for local times worldwide) with chanting and prayers for Srila Govinda Maharaj's health. This prayer programme is arranged by Hari Kirtan Prabhu and Vaishnavi Devi Dasi of Venezuela.
