Sri Gour Govinda Swami Sri Gurudevaya Namo Namah
Sri Gouranga Prema Yuga Acarya His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami Srila Gurudeva made his appearance into an ancient Oriya Vaishnava family famed for their devotional kirtans. He grew up surrounded by devotees, worshipping Sri Sri Radha Gopaljiu, chanting the holy names and reading Srimad Bhagavatam. Later in life, after becoming a wandering sadhu, he met Iskcon’s Founder-Acarya His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada and instantly surrendered at his lotus feet, recognizing him to be the topmost of Lord Krishna’s dear devotees. Srila Prabhupada offered to award Maharaja the order of sannyasa at their first meeting and later himself later commented about his disciple Sri Gouranga Prema Yuga Acarya His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami Srila Gurudeva, stating that ‘Krishna has sent him’.
Sri Gouranga Prema Yuga Acarya His Divine Grace Srila Gour Govinda Swami Srila Gurudeva fully dedicated his life to fulfilling his revered Guru Maharaja’s instructions – vigorously preaching the Gaudiya Siddhanta around the world; translating Srila Prabhupada’s books from English into the Oriya language, also preaching widely throughout Orissa State: and building the stunning Sri Sri Krishna Balarama Temple in Bhubaneswar.

“The perfection of this rarely obtained human birth is to see Krishna, to have Krishna, and to understand Krishna. Kali-Yuga, the process is very easy: by chanting ‘Hare Krishna’ without offence, that means pure Name, then you will have that perfection, whereas it is very difficult to achieve this perfection in other ages, yugas.”
