Chief Minister s Visit Honorable Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri AkhileshYadavji came for darshan to the Krishna Balaram temple, ISKCON Vrindavan on 11th March, 2015. He was scheduled to come to Govardhan for some work, but as a pleasant surprise, he added darshan of ISKCON Vrindavan to his program only 3 days back. It was his personal decision to have darshan in ISKCON Vrindavan, which he said, he had last visited only in his childhood. The Chief Minister arrived at ISKCON gate around 1 PM with his huge convoy of cars and was graciously welcomed by the temple president, Shri Pancha Gauda Das, along with Radha Raman Das and by the vibrant kirtan performed by the students of the BhaktivedantaGurukula and International School (BGIS), a part of ISKCON campus. He began his speech by thanking the temple authorities for a warm reception and especially for extending the darshan time in the temple as the normal closing time is 12:45 PM. He then expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the students of BGIS for their welcome kirtana and mantra chanting. In particular, he was very pleased by a student from Germany, Nanda Kumar, who welcomed him in Hindi. He told that in India everybody is ignoring Hindi language but it is wonderful that international students learn Hindi at BGIS. He exchanged pleasing words with the temple president and others during the lunch and expressed his deep satisfaction about his visit to the temple. The project director of BGIS Radhakant Das briefed the CM of the new upcoming campus of BGIS in 100 acres of land and the CM assured full cooperation by his Government. It was great feeling of joy for all the devotees of the temple and students of BGIS as they witnessed the Chief Minister departing from the temple in a jolly and grateful mood.
