(4/4) Concluding Parikrama Day

His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
Sri Vrindavan Dham parikrama,
1 November 2019, part 4
Translated from Bengali

We conclude our parikrama here today. We have come now to the temple of Lord Govinda whom Srila Rupa Goswami Prabhu served and worshipped. As you know, when the temple was later damaged, the Deity was taken to Jaipur and is still there to this day. Despite that, devotees keep this temple and take care of it. The same happened to Madan-mohan and Gopinath. All the Deities were taken to Jaipur... This year, we are going to Jaipur. I have not been able to go there for a long time, but this year we will go there.

So, we had the darshan of Lord Gopinath today, now we have come to take the darshan of Lord Govinda, and later today, after four o'clock in the afternoon, we will go to have the darshan of Madan-mohan at Srila Sanatan Goswami's temple at Dvadasatila. It is near our temple. On the way, we will also visit the temple of Banki-bihari. The place is usually very crowded, so if there are not too many people, we will go inside; otherwise, we will offer our obeisances from outside.

So, now, from here we are going to return to our temple. If somebody has a problem walking back, you can take a rickshaw – tell the driver that you are going to the Radha-Damodar Mandir. Tomorrow we are going by buses. We are setting out at seven o'clock. We will first go to Mathura, then to the birthplace of Lord Krishna, Gokula (Nanda Maharaj's previous house), Dauji Temple (Lord Balaram's temple), Brahmanda Ghat (where Krishna ate soil), Mahavan (where Krishna played with His cowherd friends), the Yamalarjuna trees (the place where Krishna broke the twin trees). We will be returning to our Vrindavan temple in the evening. After that, if any of you are going to Jaipur, we will go there, and if you are staying in Vrindavan, try to spend your time reading about the glory and conception of this place as far as possible.

Jay Srila Guru Maharaj ki jay.
