...more pictures of Radha Govinda can be seen at the link below. Close up of Govinda the Salagram given by HH Bhakti Bringa Govinda Swami is below.
HH Bhakti Bhringa Govinda Swami is the devotee who donated Sri Govinda Saligram to the NY Temple. In 1995, in Vrindavan, Ramabhadra Prabhu, NY ISKCON temple president mentioned to the Maharaj his desire to resume Saligram worship at Sri Sri Radha Govinda Mandir, which was discontinued for almost 15 years, since the closure of the 55th Street Temple. Instantly upon hearing his statement, Maharaj gave him a Saligram sila which was under his care for some time. The Deity's worship was then established in Vrindavan, and now is continued in New York with great care and attention.
