 The Hidden Chamber of 
        Bhajan
 Srila Govinda Maharaja's 19th 
        World Tour
 
 In response to a suggestion 
        that a deity of Gadadhar join the Mahaprabhu Vijay Vigraha at the Chandan 
        Yatra Mandir in Govinda Kunda.
 
 Even the brother of Srila Saraswati Thakur did not properly conceive the 
        identity of Bhaktivinode Thakurwhat to speak of his bhajan. 
        Srila Govinda Maharaja cited the article titled: Baba Badha Radha. 
        Srila Saraswati Thakur wrote: Whom he should have conceived as Radha 
        [Sri Guru, Mukunda Prestha] there was an obstacle in his vision 
        [badha] and he took Radha to be Baba [Father]. 
        Srila Govinda Maharaja revealed that Srila Sridhar Maharaja, ever the 
        one for assonance and alliteration, added: One who conceives of 
        Radha as Baba is Gadha an ass."
 
 Srila Govinda Maharaja: As a 
        serious student addresses the most critical pointSrila Guru Maharaja 
        focused upon the identity of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur to gain the grace 
        of his GurudevaSrila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur. In the wave 
        of Srila Saraswati Thakurs thinking Srila Guru Maharaja was swimming 
        deeply and revealed his discoveries in his Bhaktivinode Viraha Dasakam.
 
 Upon hearing Srila Sridhar Maharaja's composition Saraswati Thakur recognized 
        that the divine current of Bhaktivinode Thakur was alive and flowing in 
        Srila Sridhar Maharaja and announced: What I have come to give has 
        been received. Now I am satisfied that at least one man remains behind 
        who can represent me fully and that man is Sridhar Maharaja.
 
 Srila Govinda Maharaja: What 
        is the chamber of bhajan of Thakur Bhaktivinode cannot be easily 
        opened. Why was the worship of Gaur Gadadhar not manifested in Mayapur? 
        First one must become qualified about that conception. One must not only 
        understand it theoretically but must have substantial feelings. The worship 
        of Gaur Gadadhar was the deep bhajan of Bhaktivinode Thakur hidden 
        in his bhajan kutir.
 
 Before going to that level Sukadev did not lift the veil of Srimati 
        Radharanibut left her hidden. Otherwise it will surely attract sahajiyaimitationism. 
        You may say that even without Gadadhar so much Sahajiyaism is there but 
        with Gadadhar it will turn into a massacre!
 
 Later in the afternoon Srila Govinda Maharaja began to reflect: I 
        think if Nityananda Prabhu will play happily with Mahaprabhu water sports 
        in Govinda Kunda it will be v-e-r-y nice!
 
 The Russian tour had begun.
 
 Then he began to speak about when God dreams . . .
