Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada’s (Founder-Acarya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness) first step on the soil of Boston in 1966 proved to be more revolutionary than the much-dramatised first step of man on Moon. He inundated almost the complete world in the nama rasa of the Supreme Lord. Even in the land of sunyavadis one could hear the sacred Mahamantra- Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare.
Fifty years have gone by since then, but the movement started by Srila Prabhupada has only spread further. ISKCON is celebrating the golden jubilee of that prophetic journey in a grand way for one complete year. Following the footsteps of our acarya, the ISKCON Daiva Varnasrama Ministry (IDVM- India) decided to undertake “Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra” to 108 villages in India under the aegis of His Holiness Bhakti Raghava Swami. This endeavour is a gesture of thanks and humble offering at the lotus feet of our dear Srila Prabhupada.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container background_color=”” background_image=”” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_webm=”” video_mp4=”” video_ogv=”” video_preview_image=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ video_mute=”yes” video_loop=”yes” fade=”no” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ padding_left=”0″ padding_right=”0″ hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” menu_anchor=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_text]On the auspicious day of Dwadasi, October 25, 2015 in the attractive precincts of Sri Sri Radha-Madanmohan temple, Hyderabad, the inauguration ceremony of the Yatra was conducted.

HG Basu Ghosh prabhu (Vice Chairman, ISKCON Bureau and Temple President, ISKCON Baroda), HG Vedanta Caitanya prabhu (Temple President, ISKCON Hyderabad; Sri Sanskritananda Acarya (Sanskrit Pandit & Go-rakshak) and HG Anandamaya prabhu (Head, BBT-Hyderabad, Telugu) were present to witness the occasion. HG Basu Ghosh prabhu, who also happens to be a member of IDVM-India and Acarya Sanskritananda addressed the audience in chaste fluent Sanskrit bringing out the importance of sambandha between the Supreme Lord Govinda and gomata, then gomata and bhumi devi. They emphasized how erosion of sambandha between them erodes our sambandha with the Supreme Lord. While highlighting this, they appreciated HH Bhakti Raghava Swami’s initiative of Sri Govind Gau Gram Prachar Yatra. HG Anandmaya prabhu also emphasized the thought by adding the dimension of Srila Prabhupada’s desire to go to villages in a vehicle. HG Vedanta Caitanya prabhu’s inaugural address was delivered in the local language, Telugu. He referred to the rising instances of farmers’ suicide and the relevance of Harinam to that. He showed how a simple life revolving round land, cows and Krishna is the only hope of spiritual survival in the age of Kali. He brought out how cities are in mode of passion and thus not conducive for developing humility in a devotee, the core requirement of spiritual progress.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_2″ last=”no” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ class=”” id=””][fusion_text]HH Bhakti Raghava Swami (Minister, IDVM-India) who could not attend the ceremony due to some logistic issues, sent his address over the mail from Indonesia.

In his address, maharaj expressed his happiness over the Yatra devotees’ gesture to fulfill Srila Prabhupada’s desire to reach out to villages. While expressing his happiness and blessing the devotees involved in the Yatra, the IDVM-India Minister said, “…we need to highlight the need to protect and develop our villages, which means reaching out to the farmers explaining the importance of organic farming and cow protection as the Vedic sustainable way of life, without which a country will simply become ruined.”[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_2″ last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ class=”” id=””][fusion_slider width=”100%” height=”100%” class=”” id=””][fusion_slide type=”image” link=”http://www.srisurabhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/22297386250_62ae865891_o.jpg” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”yes”]http://www.srisurabhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/22297386250_62ae865891_o-1024×768.jpg[/fusion_slide][fusion_slide type=”image” link=”http://www.srisurabhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/22472013902_e9539e6100_o.jpg” linktarget=”_self” lightbox=”yes”]http://www.srisurabhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/22472013902_e9539e6100_o-1024×768.jpg[/fusion_slide][/fusion_slider][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_text]Soon after the leaders spoke, the devotees cheered the Yatra party and everyone moved towards the Sankirtan bus which was parked outside, decked like a newly-wed bride. HG Basu Ghosh prabhu performed the arati of the Sankirtan bus’ presiding deities of Sri Sri Jagannath Baldev Subhadra, while HG Anandamaya prabhu led the kirtan. Once the kirtan was over, HG Vedanta Caitanya prabhu flagged off the bus amidst sacred Vedic hymns and chanting.
The Yatra devotees comprise primarily HG Sripati prabhu, HG Gour Gopal prabhu, HG Jananivas prabhu and HG Ram Lakshman prabhu. City devotees though could not be a part of the entire Yatra, decided to cheer them atleast to the first village. Following the Sankirtan bus, they moved along in different cars to the first village Ramapuram, in Khodad district at a distance of about 250 kms from the Hyderabad city. The Yatra begins…

“Typing sometimes in capitals for emphasis, he said, “IF YOU STARTED PADAYATRA or at least if YOU WENT TO VILLAGES IN CAR FOR THE TIME (FOR A FEW MONTHS) then naturally many people will give land which can be used for KRISHNA’S SERVICE.
