All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga Arriving in Nabadwip 23 November 2008 |
23 November 2008 (by Srilekha Devi Dasi) Please accept my dandabat. Well here I am, so happy to be in Sri Nabadwip again, and feeling positively compelled to write a little report. I am amazed at the beauty and cleanliness of the Math. It is really comforting to me to see so much consciousness about maintaining the grounds and buildings; that as they were given with love by Srila Gurudev, now with love they are being cared for. Today a big group of devotees met together and scrubbed the big temple room spotlessly, and what a sweet, sober and happy mood. I took some pictures on Malini Didi's camera which I am sure she intends to make available. A couple of days ago there was also so big co-operative clean-up of the Sri Goshala, as well as "Govinda Kunda clean-up day!" Everything is SO clean and Rohini Didi's endeavour to keep the road front of the Math clean is also still running. Damayanti Didi just told me that one day she saw a local lady cleaning out the drain! This morning Ramachandra Prabhu and Madhu Mita didi from Venezuela polished all the brass decorations (Hersheys kisses shaped) along the wall of the Seva Ashram. They are shining like new now. I went through the rooms today in the Seva Ashram to find out if anything needs to be repaired anywhere. And I was so amazed by how clean the rooms are. I really have never seen them so clean. Another co-operative effort by the devotees here. Well that's it. Just a very sweet, gentle, jolly mood of co-operative service. Damayanti didi just now read aloud the recent update about Srila Govinda Maharaj's health, and so so happy to hear it. Jaya Gurudev. Dandabat pranam, |
