Śrīla Gurudeva’s Siddha-deha
to be Taken to Safety at Smrti-mandira

The disciples and followers of Śrīla Gour Govinda Swami Mahārāja have decided to transfer his siddha-deha (transcendental body) to the Smṛti-mandira, which is located on the left-hand side of the stairs to the main entrance of the beautiful ISKCON Krishna-Balaram Temple in Bhubaneswar. The devotees in Bhubaneswar have started preparing the new samadhi site in the Smṛti-mandira.

Preparing the new samadhi site in the Smrti-mandira

Sātvata-pati prabhu from Bhubaneswar related that there has been a meeting @ 7 pm last evening where it was discussed how to perform the ceremony of moving the samadhi. There will be 24 hours kirtan and fire yajña prior to commencing digging. The samadhi will be covered during transfer to the Smṛti-mandira, so that no one will see anything. After the installation of the samadhi inside the Smṛti-mandira there will be another fire yajña and a mahā-abhiṣeka of Śrīla Gurudeva’s large murti, followed by a bhoga offering and mahā-ārati. All devotees will be allowed to perform abhiṣeka and are requested to fast until the end. Prasāda will be distributed to all devotees after the ceremony.

Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita prabhu and Puṇḍarīka Govinda prabhu are organising machinery to come from the Paradip Port, which is approx. 150 kilometres from Bhubaneswar. Those who will do the digging have agreed not to work on Saturday; therefore they may start working on Sunday morning.

We are requesting all devotees to pray at the lotus feet of our most beloved Śrīla Gurudeva that the transfer of the samadhi will proceed without any further obstacles and that it hopefully will not rain.

A Brief History on Śrīla Prabhupāda’s Last Founded Project

After Śrīla AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda had been donated land in Bhubaneswar, he sent his dear disciple Śrīla Gour Govinda Swami Mahārāja there, with the order to build a Temple. Śrīla Prabhupāda had developed some sulkiness towards going to Orissa because his Western disciples were refused entrance to the famous Lord Jagannātha Temple in Jagannātha Purī. Therefore Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted to build a temple in Bhubaneswar where all his disciples could come and have darśana of Lord Jagannātha. He said to Śrīla Gour Govinda Swami, “…Gour Govind you will take me to Orissa…”

      I perceive this as part of a deliberate and orchestrated attack on us by the globalist demon cabal, which puppets include the poisoner jew-sampradaya. Until the murderers of our acaryas are permanently silenced, this will go on and on.

      This is out of order how can this happen l dont understand, but now the demigods will make India suffer more, than ever, because they should know this better than anyone else in this world, this kind of act is adharma, sinful , to break temples, to destroy holy places, and to punish devotees., this is a wake up call, devotees need to get their acts together now. its very shocking ,before its to late to let these demons get away from all this.

      Please quickly approach the The Governmental official of Orrisa and also Modi Government who favors protection of HIndusim. Please beseech, them for other alternatives, for such destruction will only lead for further disaster and calamities will befall on the people of our country.

      This is really a shame. It is hard to believe that something like that happened in the wholly land of India. I am really sad.

      India has definitely lost its spiritual heritage, allowing this to take place. Why would the Government of Orissa/India use Hiranyakashipu (who was a demon) and Ravana (who was a rakshasa) type of tactics to destroy holy sites, especially the samadhi of a great Vaisnava saint.
