A Rainy Morning at Sri Nabadwip Dham
Sri Nabadwip Dham, India
For Sri Nabadwip Dham, midsummer is the time of not so much heat as rains—slow and continuous rains that keep tapping on the roofs, rustling the tree leaves, and disappear into the ubiquitous water circles on the ground. The rains bring coolness and tranquility into the surroundings, as well as some inevitable adjustment in the daily service of the devotees. Once, when travelling by train in the rainy season, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj felt inspired by the scenery outside and composed a verse proclaiming the glories of his Divine Master (this verse is now engraved on the rare side of the Temple of Love and Affection):
varsayam vai sajala-jalado vadayan mandra-bherim Just as in the rainy season the water-bearing clouds wander about the earth pouring torrents of rain and creating a deep-sounding drumming all around, you too wander about this earth with your associates, marching and proclaiming the glories of Gaura. O my lord! Indeed, you always pour the divine nectar of your supreme mercy without any reservation.
