All Glories to all the Srila Prabhupada’s illustrious Disciples, who went through so much hard work to achieve the goal, HG Gurukripa Prabhu, HG Surabhi Prabhu & HG Gunarnava Prabhu in particular. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, who opened the door of Sri Vrindavan Dham for all of us.
HG Gunarnava Pr.: I have never seen a person draw something without having to erase anything & I remember, Surabhi, he had the pencils in his pocket & he said to me one morning, Gunarnava, he said, I am going to do the artistic conception. I am going to draw the Krishna Balarama Mandir for the first time. I remember, we were staying in the little store roofed huts very very humble dwellings’ & he had a desk & the drawing board & a A3 sketch pen & he opened it up & he started sketching & his pencil never stopped, he didn’t rub anything out & it just manifested on his paper & when he showed Srila Prabhupada that design, I was in the room, Srila Prabhupada said, this is wonderful & he was so proud that he was showing some guests who were also there in the room,”Oh! This is going to be the Krishna Balarama Mandir”.
