Report by HG Radha Venkant prabhuji.
(We shall add more to this day soon, but here is a brief synopsis)
We arrived around 10 to a catholic retreat center - then entire facility is now occupied by our group !
We had a 2 hour class with Vaiseshika Prabhu and our local host madhavananda Prabhu (he has immense wealth of knowledge).
Around 4 we left to see
1. Jambeswar mahade temple
2. Purushottam Gudiya Mutt (more details below )
3. Totta gopinath (more details below)
4. Pandu narasimha temple
From our ashram you can do a round trip to all these places in less than 30 minutes !!
In fact we are going to totta gopinath temple for mangal Arathi (plan to do it for next 6 days!) by leaving at 5 (simple 15 min walk)
Homework (also known as ARs for Intel folks). During the evening we sang two songs
1. Vaishnava Takur http://kksongs.org/
2. Gopinath http://kksongs.org/
Please take 2 minutes to read the meaning of these songs - you will thank me and I will pass it eight back to Vaiseshika Prabhu for singing them today...
Purushhottam mutt
-----------------------
This is where srila prabhupada got the instruction to preach to english speaking world ! The response letter was written from his room - we were able to witness the room and hear this glorious pastime - as madavanand Prabhu put it - this is Alpha or beginning of iskcon - and this was also the last mail Srila prabhupad received as few weeks later srila prabupada passed away - if you have time, listen to this touching lecture (one of the. 1960's bsst disappearance day lectures).
Totta gopinath temple
-------------------------
Lots of info avail on the net - I will just leave you with few questions
1. Which temple did Mahaprabhu merge into
2 why is Radharani black (so is lalitha)
3 which one of the Pancha tatva worshipped the lord here
4 why us he sitting down ?
5 who is the other wife of balaram (one is revathi)
6. Why are radha and revathi holding their hand in unusual position
7. Who was gadadar pandit in Krishna Lila - same question on Lalitha Sakhi in chitanya Lila ?
I think this link has answers to most of the questions..
Pictures to to follow in a future mail
