The intense desire of Most Revered Gurudev to visit Sri Goverdhan Dham since more than an year takes not just Him but many other sincere devotees to that holy place. Srila Gurudev along with His personal servants are leaving for New Delhi via Indigo Flight No. 6E-206 scheduled to depart Kolkata airport at 4.40 PM on 28th of this month and land in New Delhi at 6.55 PM.

The schedule for the next one week is tentatively as below:

1. 28th Sep. - Arrival in the Math at 8.30 PM

2. 30th Sep. - Visit to Dr. Ashok Seth, Cardiologist

3. 1st Oct. - Harikatha on the occasion of Srila Bhakti Promode Puri Goswami Maharaj's appearance anniversary

4. 4th Oct. - Travel for Goverdhan

Blessed are those devotees who had got the opportunity to be with Srila Gurudev when He used to perform parikrama barefoot for the entire month, narrating the significance of every pastime place in Mathura, singing kirtans in devotional bhava, dancing in ecstacy, explaining the ontological mistery of bhajan, doing Gajendra Moksha, commenting on the 8 periods of devotional practice. But equally blessed as well are those who will join Srila Gurudev this year, especially because He is going to Sri Goverdhan Dham with intense feeling of separation. We already see His mood, His every word connecting to Goverdhan, His excitement, His wish fulfilling .... inexplicable for me. I am falling short of words here. I beg to be excused.

Srila Gurudev will most likely visit Gokul Math during Annakut Mahotsav and Vrindavan Math for Utthan Ekadasi. Though Srila Gurudev will not participate in the parikrama (externally to our mundane eyes), His desire is that all devotees take part in the parikrama. He said to all those who conveyed their desired to stay with Him in Goverdhan, "I used to do Parikrama before. Now I cannot go. But you should go. I'll get the opportunity to see you when you come to Goverdhan for the 5-6 days. You should do Parikrama and see various places. Nice arrangements are made for stay and transport."

As per Srila Gurudev's desire I hope to see you in Sri Goverdhan Dham soon. I am excited to see Srila Gurudev's desire fulfilling.

Jai Giri Raj

Jai Goverdhan

Jai Giridhari Gopal.

Dandavat Pranams to all.
