WORLD  GOKUL News, March 2001 BY GOKUL  INDIA, Mar 12 (VNN) — Sri Sri Guru Gaurangau Jayatah! 9 March 2001 - Gaura PurnimaDear Devotees, Dandavat pranams. Sorry if some of you had difficulty logging on to the GOKUL site or sending us email between the dates of 27 February and 3 March. We were having server problems. Everything has been ironed out now, though. If you happened to send us mail between these dates, kindly send it again, as we were unable to receive it. Thanks.
If you have not yet checked out the newly designed website, please visit us at http://www.gokul.org There you will find all-new articles, including several excerpts from the upcoming biography of HDG Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhava Gosvami and new lectures from HDG Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaj. There is also an audio page with clips from upcoming CD's, a photo gallery and more. Tour 2001 Many of you have been writing us inquiring about the preaching agenda of HDG Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaj. Maharaj always plans for the next year at Gaura Purnima. We have recently been told that Maharaj wishes not to travel during the next few months, but that he would prefer to spend this spring and summer in Calcutta with the purpose of writing articles/books in English. He has been expressing this desire for some time, but as devotees all over the planet are continuously requesting his personal presence, he has had little opportunity to write. We look forward with great anticipation to the results of this sojourn and we in the west will be greatly blessed to have the benefit of a written legacy from the pen of most beloved Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaj. Maharaj is presently discussing the possibility of coming to Europe in September. Anyone interested in hosting a program in your region, please let us know soon so we may begin to coordinate events. Exact dates are not yet arranged. As of this writing, there are no plans for a US tour in 2001. Bhatinda Temple On 6 April 2001, Sri Chaitanya Gaudiya Math will be opening its newest temple in Bhatinda, Punjab. This will be a hugh event, with a large festival including installation of the Holy Deities, fabulous kirtan (Bhatinda is the home of Sriman Bhuta Bhavan das Prabhu among so many other wonderful devotees) and prasadam. All devotees from around the world are invited to attend. Photo to follow soon. Anyone who would like more information, please contact us. Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaj's appearance day is on 2 April (Ramanavami) Vaishnavdasanudas, the devotees at GOKUL http://www.gokul.org  Comment on this storyContact VNN about this storySend this story to a friend
