These Deities traveled throughout North America many times in a Greyhound bus converted into a traveling temple, enjoying devotional festivals and the sweet kirtans of Visnujana Swami in cities across the country. They have been in Gita Nagari since the late 1970’s and continue to inspire whoever sees Them with Their mystical gaze.
We arrived in Gita Nagari from New Vrindaban on Friday, May 29th, Pandava Nirjala Ekadasi, only for a few hours to make a presentation at the weekend retreat there with Radhanath Maharaja and Giriraja Swami, attended by 300+ devotees from across the country. There was no time for an abhisheka or puspanjali for the Padukas and Sitari, and after setting up our banners and table, Radhanath Maharaja spoke about the TOVP, glorifying the project and requested devotees to give their financial assistance. Radha Jivan and Jananivas prabhus then spoke, further inspiring everyone. Devotees enthusiastically responded and the total pledges came to an amazing $765,000. All glories to Sri Sri Radha Damodar.
