Dear Maharaj/ Prabujis/ Matajis,

 

It is my great pleasure to inform all the devotees of Lord Sri

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu that a great service opportunity has been offered

by the temple authorities of Gambhira, in Puri dham, where Lord

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu spent the final years of His manifested pastimes

on this earthly planet. Kasi Mishra's house, also known as Gambhira,

and the Radha Kanta math, were both under the care of the Orissa

government due to 20 years of litigation. Finally, this litigation

problem has been resolved and the management of the institution has

been returned to the temple mahanta.

 

The temple has sustained much damage over the years due to lack of

proper maintenance. The whole place is very dirty and the roofs and

walls are falling down. The temple roof is also cracking.

Additionally, the temple has a lack of proper income for the

maintenance of the devotees and for deity puja-and, of course, the

more the Gambhira is allowed to deteriorate, the fewer visitors it

will have.

 

At this crucial point, the mahanta of Gambhira has requested ISKCON to

extend kind assistence to him in order to protect and maintain this

most holy place. Devotees from all over the world come to offer their

prayers and obeisances at Gambhira. This is one of the most important

places for the followers of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and must be

maintained nicely.

 

Thus, this is a golden opportunity for devotees to render service to

this most sacred cause. I request all devotees to kindly donate

towards this purpose. There are many things to be fixed at the place.

For the time being we have prepared a rough budget, for whatever the

most urgent needs are, just to bring the situation up to survival

position. Later on, we will let you know about further opportunities

for service in the development of the Gambhira.
