Praying for the Grace of Sri Jagannathdev

After successfully completing the Hyderabad tour after a 6 year gap, Srila Gurudev is very particular to take the Grace of Sri Jagannath Dev in Chakdah. Since the time He reached Kolkata, He had been repeatedly narrating the purity of the devotion of Sri Jagdish Pandit and the importance of taking the grace of Most Merciful Sri Jagannathdev, Who had come all the way from Puri Dham by the request of His pure devotee.

Earlier during the late evening hours on the 23rd day of December 2011, Srila Gurudev along with His entourage reached Kolkata Math after a successful tour of South India. Many devotees' thirst for His darsan was quenched by His presence. His Divine Grace had not only attracted the disciples of our Math but many other Gaudiya Vaishnvas flooded the Hyderabad Math upon knowing His arrival. Srila Gurudev spoke on two occasions during the 6-day annual function of the Math. The Math-in-charge said, "This year I have observed that the number of devotees attending the annual function has increased at least by 4 times due to your presence. After 6 years we are again witnessing this." Such is the power of a pure devotee.

On the 18th of December, Srila Gurudev also took part in the Ratha Yatra procession. Before His departure for Kolkata on the 23rd, Srila Gurudev also made His Divine presence (physically) for Mangala-Arati and Mandir Parikrama in Hyderabad math. Devotees' enthusiasm found no bounds during His 7 day stay in Hyderabad.

Srila Gurudev will leave for Chakdah at around 11.00 AM IST on 26th of December and will address the devotees gathering on the 27th. He is most likely to return Kolkata on 28th December 2011.
