Bhajan in Separation


Govardhan Retreat 2008

For the last few months, Krishna Kund and I have been traveling and giving talks. We just got back to Bhubaneswar (whew!) where we hope to catch our breath before our upcoming Puri parikrama/retreat beginning on the 22nd of January.

From November 27th to December 3rd we attended the Govardhan Retreat, which was a deeply moving experience. HH Sacinandan Maharaja spoke on the topic of the process of obeisances given by Sanatan Goswami in his book Sri Krishna Lila Stava; Bhurijan Prabhu spoke about the trials and difficulties experienced by Srila Sanatan Goswami; Mother Jagattarini gave dramatic readings from sections of Rupa Goswami's Vidagdha Madhava, and we gave a series of talks about bhajan in separation. There were about 6 hours of intense hari-katha per day along with hours of kirtan, bhajans, tasty healthy prasadam and wonderful association.
