HH Bhakti Bhringa Govinda Swami Maharaja on HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja and Ujjain yatra
Just before I go I would like to say a couple of words expressing my thanks to His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja for inviting me to come to Ujjain. It has certainly been for my purification to come here and have the association of my godbrothers and all of your association in chanting the Hare Krsna Maha mantra.
I travel the world quite a bit. It seems that sometimes they think that I live in an air-plane. And I have seen many, many temples in ISKCON and I would like to give special thanks to Bhakti Charu Maharaja and all of the devotees here in Ujjain, all of the congregation members for having just about one of the most beautiful temples in the international society for Krsna Consciousness. It's a really a... I travel a lot and I have favourite places like- my home is Vrindavan and I love Vrindavan and I love the temple there, but your temple here is so beautiful, your deities are absolutely beautiful, all of the seva that goes on for the deities here is absolutely beautiful.
My caste is that I am a cook in Vrindavan. All of the professional cooks know me as Govinda Halwai and I have to admit that in the whole world wide ISKCON, I have never tasted Prasadam as tasty as in this temple. We always used to say that 'Oh if we go to Mayapur, we will have tasty Prasadam there.' And back when I was cooking in Vrindavan people would say 'Oh in Vrindavan we will have tasty Prasadam.' But here the Prasadam is just so wonderful. Everything is cooked to perfection with excellent flavours. I just can't describe how nice your temple is and we can try to find causes for that. Why is it wonderful? If we trace all of the causes right back, we will come to Srila Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja.
So I really like to express my appreciation to Maharaja. We have been friends since 1977 in Vrindavan and he's always been the most loving and most courteous, gentlemanly vaishnava that I ever met. Srila Prabhupada said that the characteristic of a vaishnava is that he is a perfect gentleman. So that we have in our Srila Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja. So thank you once again Maharaja for inviting me here. And in front of all the devotees here, I promise you that I will come back when you call.

HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja and HH Radhanath Swami Maharaja together in panihati
HH Bhakti Charu Swami Guru Mahārāja and His Holiness Radhanath
Swami Mahārāja jointly gave Bhāgavatam class.
The best part of the class was that whenever either of them were getting the chance to glorify each other no one was missing the opportunity and the full audience were enjoying the nectar.
Then at 11h30 AM we left for ISKCON Panihati by a boat from Babhugat on the Ganga. It took about one hour fifteen minutes to reach Panihati , Five, six families were allowed on the boat with some twenty five to thirty temple brahmacārīs and residents.
Guru Mahārāja started the conversation by
glorifying His Holiness Radhanath Swami
Mahārāja, but His Holiness Radhanath Swami Mahārāja very politely said to Guru Mahārāja:
“Please start kīrtana “. Immediately Guru
Mahārāja responded: “This is also kīrtana ” and he asked everyone: “Isn’t this kīrtana?” Everyone joyfully chanted “Haribol!”..
Guru Mahārāja performed kīrtana and Ganga ārati and then he led some Questions & Answers
session, His Holiness Radhanath Swami
Mahārāja was so much absorbed in watching the beauty of Ganga and the boat-trip that he insisted to Guru Mahārāja to answer the questions.
We reached Panihati , some fourty to fifty
devotees were waiting at the river bank to
welcome both of them, we all were welcomed and offered garlands, from there we all went to the Mahotsavtala where the pastimes of Srila Raghunatha dasa Goswami and Lord Nityananda Prabhu took place. Later on all walked to Panihati ISKCON temple.
There Guru Mahārāja took bath in the Ganga, then he took prasādam. Finally they left for Śrīdhāma Māyāpura.
