We would like to invite everyone to join us in partaking of the fresh and tasteful prasadam cuisine being served at our newly renovated Govinda’s Restaurant situated under the Lodge across from the Radha Vrindaban Candra Temple.  The restaurant is undergoing many improvements which we hope will make our restaurant more efficient and comfortable for our guests and our staff.  We are adding another room of seating onto the existing area and have redesigned the kitchen to include a spacious walk-in cooler, self standing grill, 15 quart mixer and another candy stove.  We will also be acquiring a larger buffet table that will be located in a more convenient space.  Although the work is not completed as of yet we hope to have it finished in the beginning of May.

We are happy to retain our most qualified Brahmin cook Madhan Mohan das who has been our main chef for the last seven years.  He is well known for the first class quality preparations that he cooks in our restaurant to please Krishna and His devotees.

Our menu is on the next page for your inspection and we have added several new western preparations including vegetarian cupcakes and cheesecakes, veggie lasagna, veggie burgers and veggie dogs, all of which have been well received by our guests.

The restaurant hours after May 5, and contact information are as follows:

Monday to Friday: 4.00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Saturday: 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Sunday: 7:00 am to 7:30 pm except long weekends

Malati Gomata gave an easy birth to her first calf on April 30th around 1:30pm. Jaya Prabhupada found them both in the barn across from the temple, and moved them to make them more comfortable.
Malati is a very good mother and the calf is strong and healthy. The calf was named Sita because she was born on Sita Devi’s Appearance Day. Jai Sri Sita Devi!

We have recently completed 99% of the renovations in the Radha Vrindabanchandra temple ashramas.  We were therefore ready to offer this important service to Srila Prabhupada before we move the residents back in.

Renovations began at the beginning of this last winter, and now the hallways are freshly painted, with new floors and lights.  Each room has two new computer desks and two big sets of shelves, with clothes hanging rods for two residents per room. The bathrooms have also been almost completely re-done and are about ready to go.
This week, Srila Prabhupada took a tour of each room in the asramas, and He was followed by an excited kirtan party, for an auspicious new start for the RVC residents.  Hare Krishna!
