"Gita nagari is such a wonderful place." -H.H. Dhanurdhara Swami


This past weekend was the celebration of Govardhana puja at Gita-nagari .  Due to the excessive rain fall (which added a nice touch)  we had to worship the cows inside the barn.  The smell of the barn, along with the painting and feeding of the cows, the chanting amongest all the devotees and the presence of the topmost gopi of Gita-nagari Mother Kaulini was exhilerating for me to say the least.  I often wonder whether my attachment to Gita nagari has something to do with the fact that my first date with my husband was spent herding cows and scooping up cow dung from the barn or if its the overwhelming feeling of goodness you experience when in the dhama.  Either way to put it best Gita nagari is such a wonderful place.
