After leaving Nova Gokula, on Monday, the 21st, Srila Acharyadeva went to Campos de Jordão, to the beautiful Govardhana Lila Ashram. Campos de Jordão is a famous tourist destination in the mountains, about 2.5 hours from São Paulo.

Extract from a lecture given by Srila Hridayananda Das Goswami, in Atlanta, 2003:
A bonafide spiritual master doesn’t create a new way of Krishna Consciousness – that is done by the great Acharyas. There is Acharya (with a capital “A”) and acharya (with a small “a”). We all should be acharya, but the great Acharyas are [...]
“Also, the term “Sunday feast” is a symptom of our problem.
