Message and Blessings from Param Poojya<br />

Swami Gopal Sharan Devacharya Ji <strong>Maha</strong>raj of<br />

Shree Golok Dhaam Ashram, Delhi, India.<br />

Shri Radha Golokaviharine Namo Namah.<br />

Bhagavate Shri Nimbarkacharyaya Namo Namah.<br />

Shri Sadgurucharanakamalebhyo Namo Namah.<br />

In this age of Kali Yug where all moral values are in<br />

decline, Jagadguru Shri Nimbarkacharya has shown that<br />

Satsang is the main pathway for achieving<br />

peace, prosperity and progress. Satsang enables us to<br />

experience the bliss of the Lord’s Names, His Forms, His<br />

Leelas, His Worship and, importantly, Satsang provides<br />

the devotees opportunities to have the Darshan of the<br />

<strong>Maha</strong>tmas, renounced Swamis and enlightened devotees.<br />

It is through this that it is possible to understand the real<br />

purpose of life; to change our animalistic behavior into<br />

that of the cultured noble follower of Vedic Sanatan<br />

Dharma.<br />

Tulsidas reminds all of humanity that:<br />

Eka Gharee Aadhee Gharee, Aadhee Te Puni Aadha<br />

Tulasi Sangata Saadhu Ke, Koti Katai Aparaadha.<br />

If only for one moment, half a moment or even half of half<br />

a moment that we spend in Satsang with<br />

enlightened people, millions of sins are destroyed.<br />

<strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> <strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong> has through the years been<br />

a shining beacon which penetrates the darkness of the<br />

ills of the modern world and attracts all spiritual minded<br />

devotees to worship. From humble beginnings it has<br />

grown through the love and perseverance of the<br />

Caribbean Hindu Community as well as rest of the British<br />

Hindu Community at large, pioneered by its charismatic<br />

leaders Shri Bankim Gossai Ji MBE, and Shri Ramesh<br />

Charan Ji.<br />

Specifically, I became involved with the <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong><br />

<strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong> through meeting Shri Gossai Ji by the<br />

arrangements of the Prashar family in Bromley.<br />

It was some years back when, with the Lords blessings, I<br />

pledged to provide the Satsang with Murtis for a Mandir<br />

when it was built as at that time the aim was such. Thus<br />

through the commitment of Gossai Ji and all the devotees<br />

of <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> <strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong>, after acquiring the<br />

premises in 1999, the Murtis that I had promised arrived<br />

from Los Angeles from the Mandir there.<br />

Shri Kapil Ji of Los Angeles arranged for the Murtis and<br />

provided them free of cost, and he attended the Praan<br />

Pratishtha held in 2002.<br />

By the grace of Thakur Shri Radha Golokvihari Ji <strong>Maha</strong>raj,<br />

at the holy time of Radhashtami, Shri Gossai Ji and all<br />

the devotees of <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> Satsang were blessed -<br />

their tireless effort fulfilled - when myself and eleven<br />

Vedic Scholars from all over the world came and the<br />

original promise that was made was fulfilled with great<br />

pomp and splendour in the Praan Pratishtha.<br />

Since then <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong> <strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong> has reached<br />

hundreds of people throughout the south-east with the<br />

message of devotion and Satsang under the dynamic<br />

leadership of Shri Bankim Gossai MBE.<br />

I shower my blessings on all devotees of <strong>Maha</strong> <strong>Lakshmi</strong><br />

<strong>Vidya</strong> <strong>Bhavan</strong> on this auspicious occasion of the 25th<br />

Anniversary and also on the 5th anniversary of the<br />

installation of the divine Murtis of the Lord.<br />
