Vikram are you connected to the sevaits at Radha-Syamasundara?
I know Krishna Ballabha and Mahesh. My Gurudev took us to have lunch at Krishna Ballabha's house adjoining the Mandir one time. I gave the first donation for the restoration work to complete the new temple of Krishnadas Kaviraja Goswami which is beside Radha-Syamasundara and Krishna Ballabha's house. It was a great honour to give that donation, because Krishnadas Kaviraj wrote most of the Chaitanya Charitamrta there.

Haribol Muralidhar Prabhu,
No, I am not that fortunate or advanced to personally know those great souls. In fact, I am of Indian origin but was born and bred in Mauritius, and this is where I reside. My wife is from India proper and the only time that I get to visit holy places is when I travel to Bharata with my family. Since it is hard to get much good devotee association on this small island, I tend to turn to the Internet as a means of staying connected with the Lord's dhama. I posted a message on the Radha-Shyamsundar website guestbook which the moderators appreciated, and they got in touch with me and did me a huge favour by asking me to assist them in my small way popularise the glories of this beautiful mandir. I was glad to get the opportunity to do some service and jumped on the occasion.
Otherwise, it is wonderful to read your own experience at the Radha-Shyamsundar mandir and the donation you made. I wish for a similar chance to serve Their Lordships someday. If I am not mistaken, your Guru Maharaja is Pujyapada Sridhara Maharaja, isn't it? Srila Sridhara Maharaja is indubitably one of the most inspirational acaryas to have graced this world in modern times. His writings contain some of the most spiritually and intellectually stimulating Vaisnava material available anywhere. You are indeed lucky to be connected to such a maha-bhagavata.
My humble obeisances to you.
Your servant,
Vikram Ramsundar
