What Gurudeva did on Friday, January 4th

At 2:30 am, Gurudeva woke up because the guard was yelling at the top of his voice “RADHE RADHE!!!!” in order to tell the main guard that he is awake. So for half of the night Gurudeva chanted his rounds. Finally at 5:30 am, Gurudeva had Mangala Arati with Mayapur, Campaka and Padma. Gurudeva was leading the kirtan and playing kartals, Mayapur was playing mrdanga, Campaka was clapping and Padma was doing the Arati. At the
end of Mangalarti, Gurudeva went upstairs to his room to do his e-mail. At 7:00 Gurudeva descended the stairs and gave a class about Krsna, Radharani and Their loving pastimes. Then Gurudeva ate breakfast and took a nap.

At around noon, he went out with Mayapur to visit holy places around Govardhana. First they went to Gauri Kund where Abhimanyu was tricked by Krsna. Then they went to Sankarshan Kund where Balarama as Ananta Sesa collected all the extra water that Indra sent down. Third they went to Shankarshan Dauji temple and Gopala Prakat Stali where Madhavendra Puri found his Gopala Deity. After that they went to Govinda Kund where Lord
Indra washed Lord Krsna’s feet. Then they went to Indra Tila. This is the platform upon which all the demigods bathed Krsna. If one visits here, he won’t have to take birth again. Seventh they went to the Radha Govinda Temple, a temple next to Govinda Kund. Next they went to the tree where Madhavendra Puri sat under. After that they went to the Govardhana Sila which has Lord Balarama’s crown print on it. Then they went to Apsara Kund and Navala Kund, the melted forms of Radha and Krsna. Next they went to see the fortress-like Nrisimhadeva temple and Punchari ka Louta Baba who is waiting for Krsna to come back from Mathura. Nearby the Nrsimhadeva temple, they climbed a water tower to get a bird’s eye darshan of Giriraja. Lastly they went to a cave were Radha and Krsna would hide together. After Gurudeva chanted two rounds in the cave, Mayapur said, “Gurudeva, we should go back home now. It’s getting late.” Gurudeva shut the door of the cave saying,
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here, HA HA!” Then they went back home.

After Gurudeva arrived home, he ate dinner. He went to bed late because he was having his phone changed and it took a long time. Finally he went to bed.
