Shri Narasingha Chaitanya Matha

India (VNN) - by Shri Narasingha Chaitanya Matha

Shri Narasingha Chaitanya Matha is situated on the banks of the sacred river Kaveri in South India. It is possibly the most unique Krishna conscious ashram in the world today. The natural beauty, climate, cultural setting, and geographical location of this place is fantastic. Everything at Shri Narasingha Chaitanya Matha abounds with rememberance of Krishna. The devotees engage in talks about Krishna and the topic of pure devotion both day and night. Mundane topics of the illusory world have no place here at the Matha. Even the birds and animals at the Matha join in sankirtan and the plants and flowers offer their fruits and flowers for the pleasure of Sri Sri Radha Govinda.

The Matha has aquired the nickname "Govindaji Gardens". Life here is like something you could only find in the pages of the Srimad Bhagavatam or the Caitanya-caritamrta. It is like no mundane place on earth - it is the paravyoma (spirtual sky) appearing on earth. Visit our website, meet our devotees and see for yourself. Come by in the real world and visit us any time. Hare Krishna! Gaura Haribol!

This controversy has been documented with ample references in the publication, "Our Affectionate Guardians," also presented on line with illustrations.
