For the first time, HH Kavichandra Swami Maharaja came to visit Cambodia, Maharaja visit was from 26th to 29th February 2020, Maharaja came in the evening flight from Thailand. Maharaja stayed in the rent room of Kumudaksa prabhu for 3 days. The first day Maharaj gave Srimad Bhagavatam class after the morning program at our center, later in the evening we did Harinam at the bridge nearby Old Market Siem Reap. Maharaja was not quite well but he still joined the Harinam, and he played the Mridangga (drum), we distributed pamphlets to many tourists who passed by. We did about 4 hours kirtan and Kirtiraja prabhu distributed some books to the shops around. Because of Corona Virus nowadays there are fewer tourists in Siem Reap but there are still lots of foreigners who came especially from the west because China and other Asian Countries less traveling now.
On the next day, regular morning program up to 9 amended by class given by Maharaja about Lord Brahma performs meditation in order to understand his own identity and what is the purpose of his appearance, to be the architects of this material universe and increase the population of the material world.
Maharaja was explaining how even Lord Brahma was praying in a very humble mood, “trinad api sunuscena, taror api sahisnuna…” and thinks that he is the lowest of all the devotees, so what to talk about us, even Lord Brahma thinks like that. It was very inspiring class.
In the evening we had Program at one Indian Guesthouse and restaurant, we did Kirtan with some other attendants and also some people who just passed by the road they come to joint. Kisora Krishna prabhu leads the Kirtan and Maharaja gives some speech about the importance of chanting the Holy Name, Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.
Kirtiraja Prabhu leads everyone to dance, some of our friends Cambodia also present, and they were very happy to be part of this program. In the end we distributed some prasadam.
The next morning after giving the last class Maharaja returned back to Thailand. Maharaja actually decided to come to Cambodia for the renewal of his visa to stay in Thailand, so Maharaja has to go out of Thailand and come back. By the mercy of Lord Krishna, we are fortunate to get Maharaja association, as we know Maharaja is actually the GBC for Cambodia so his visit is very significant for the future of Cambodia Yatra. In Maharaja’s email, he also gives high appreciation to HH Bhakti Raghava Swami who has continued to put much effort into the preaching in Cambodia. And also to HG Kala Prabhu helps Cambodia Yatra a lot especially during the recent Kirtan festival.
We are sincerely praying for Maharaja’s safe trip and always in good health. Thank you very much, Maharaja, for visiting our small center, wishing next time we can bring Maharaja to our village center also.
