The Srila Gour Govinda Swami Teachings
Welcome to the Ananda Samvada website
The Ananda Samvada newsletters have been published since 1994 when the first copy of the Temple Construction Newsletter was published in Bhubaneswar to glorify HDG Srila Gour Govinda Swami and to keep the devotees informed. See menu for archived copy of this landmark publication.
Since then due to the mercy and generosity of various kind devotees who have sponsored the printing and mailing costs, etc, there have been numerous newsletters published.
All of them contain information regarding issues pertinent to the time of publication, as well as classes by HDG and often include darshans, and other delightful drops of divine nectar. As such, they form a history of part of the divine pastimes and teachings of our beloved Srila Gurudeva.
Whilst Ananda Samvada dot org is primarily a newsletter archive we also intend to provide much more functionality such as image slideshows, glorification of dear, departed devotees, and prayers recited by Srila Gurudeva.
We have installed a blog that will hopefully attract the attention of some of the senior devotees who may kindly us it to grace us with their views and realisations.
If the devotees desire it, we have plans to install a forum wherein any devotees who are aware of the Ananda Samvada website may communicate with the wider community of Srila Gour Govinda Swami disciples and followers.
Ananda Samvada is always evolving
Keep checking on this website as the next step is to set up a poll to ascertain if a forum would be utilised. After that ...

"Accepting the bona fide spiritual master as one's life and soul and worshipable deity, the disciple should learn from him the process of pure devotional service. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, the soul of all souls, is inclined to give Himself to His pure devotees. Therefore, the disciple should learn from the spiritual master to serve the Lord without duplicity and in such a faithful and favourable way that the Supreme Lord, being satisfied, will offer himself to the faithful disciple"
