Srila Gour Govinda Swami's dedication to the mission and instructions of his spiritual master was glorified by his god brothers, disciples and devotees in Mayapur.

'Instructions of his spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada,are Gour Govinda Maharaja's life and soul.

Pinnacle of the Janmastami festival is the Maha Abhisheka to Sri Sri Radha-Madhava. Packed temple hall, resounding kirtan, colourful flower shower, beautiful darshan of Sri Radha-Madhava during Abhisheka, vedic chanting - the entire evening was surcharged with ecstasy.Flower Abhisheka or shower of multicoloured flower petals was amazing. Many pilgrims from various places stayed overnight in the campus. Food for Life continously served kichari for pilgrims for two days.

Supreme Lord says in Srimad Bhagavatham,"Worshiping My devotees is better than worshiping Me directly".The Lord is more pleased with the glorification of His devotee than that of Himself directly.We are honored to have an opportunity to glorify and worship a pure devotee of the Lord, the savior of the whole world - "Jagad Guru" Srila Prabhupada.
