- Srila Prabhupada’s bhajan kutir and samadhi of Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami demolished at ISKCON Bhubaneswar
Unfortunate events led to demolishing the kutir and samadhi on Saturday July 28 2018 at ISKCON Bhubaneswar temple. ISKCON founder acharya Srila Prabhupada stayed in 1977 during his visit to his last founded ISKCON project in the bhajan kutir Srimad Gour Govinda Swami single handedly constructed for him at this ISKCON property. Srimad Gour Govinda Swami’s siddha deha (spiritual body) was placed in samadhi in February 1996.
The exact facts are not clear to us. In 2011/2012 the authorities had demolished Srila Prabhupada’s bhajan kutir. The samadhi was not touched at all. After negotiating with the authorities the bhajan kutir was erected again in the understanding that this situation was permanent. Therefore, we do not understand why they not only demolished the bhajan kutir but also the samadhi altogether.
Due to heavy flooding right in front of the temple, making cars to float on the road and leading to water coming into the houses of residents, the city administration has taken immediate enforcement measures. Due process and time for taking actions by the devotees was not allowed. They have demolished the bhajan kutir and samadhi and are in the process of placing drains to contain flooding of water.
ISKCON Bhubaneswar is together with the residents and businesses in Nayapalli (the local district) the victim of bad planning, management and now reverse engineering to address the sudden flooding of water. What the authorities (BMC, BDA and NHAI) conveniently overlook is the fact that water is flooding from the national highway only to the side of the temple. Furthermore, most problems with water come from drainaige at the other side of the highway at Krishna Towers. This problem is well known and is not addressed. On top of this, local companies and residents dump their carbage etc. thus blocking the drains. So all these excess waters are collected in front of the temple and then flooding the area. Unless the authorities do not tackle the real technical problem, the Nayapalli district will continue to suffer.

Anyhow, we immediately need to transfer the siddha deha of Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami to the museum. We need to break open the museum, transfer the siddha deha from samadhi to the museum etc. We need approximately 25.000,- euro to start this work immediately.
We humbly request your kind support in order to establish the relocation of the samadhi of Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami.
