Here is Giriraj Swami’s arrival address, which was preceded by Bhakti Caitanya Swami’s introduction and talks by Karnamrita dasa, Arcana-siddhi dasi, and Cakri dasa, on Thurdsay, December 17, at Sri Sri Radha-Radhanatha temple in Durban, South Africa.

`duhkha-madhye kona duhkha haya gurutara?’
`krsna-bhakta-viraha vina duhkha nahi dekhi para’

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked, “Of all kinds of distress, what is the most painful?” Sri Ramananda Raya replied, “Apart from separation from the devotee of Krsna, I know of no unbearable unhappiness.” (Cc Madhya 8.248)
