His Divine Grace is the dearmost beloved disciple and associate of the emperor of sannyasi kings, His Divine Grace Om Visnupad Sri Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, who during his own manifest lifetime installed Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj on his exalted throne as the Sevaite-President-Acharya of the world-renowned institution, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, along with its spiritually affiliated centers and branches worldwide, including our local Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Seva Ashrams.
This year the devotees of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Seva Ashram are arranging a grand festival accompanied by kirtan, special worship, glorification, revered offerings to the temple deities Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharvika Giridhari and the distribution of mahaprasadam in San Jose and in Santa Cruz. We will be pleased to have the kind company and participation of you and your friends to enhance this great devotional festival.
