Astrology at Birth
Once a famous astrologer-mystic named Nityänanda
Khäòiratna travelled from Dhenkanal in Orissa and stayed two
days in Gadäi-Giri the famous village of the ancestors of Gour
Govinda Mahäräja. At that time Gour Govinda Swami was a
small child and along with his mother, Pata-devi, was staying
at his uncle’s house in Gadäi-Giri. Pata-devi took her son to the
astrologer, desiring to know something about his future.
