Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria attended the Katha on the second day of the Barsana Prakat Utsav in Chandigarh

Chandigarh, April 13, 2026: On the second day of Pundrik Goswami's seven-day Srimad Bhagwat Katha in Chandigarh, the pandal was immersed in the chanting of Radha's name.
Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria also attended the Katha on the second day of the Radha Ras Katha. Shri Pundrik Goswami also credited the Honorable Governor for the Katha being held in Chandigarh. He said that he prayed to Shri Radhavallabh to free Punjab from the influence of drug addiction.
Pundrik Goswami said that Govind had come to Haryana, and the Guru resided in Punjab.  Chandigarh, the city of Goddess Chandi, is the center of Guru and Govind, where the grace of Radha Rani's devotion is flowing through the Katha today. The 7-day Katha, this is not Sector 17, this is Barsana. The dust of Barsana is present here, so keep this feeling that you are going to Barsana because God exists only in the devotion and devotion is in the Lord. He said that if God can be present in stone, then where the dust of Barsana is present, there is Barsana Dham. Today, it is such a good fortune that on the occasion of Shri Vallabhacharya Ji's birth anniversary, a large number of Surdas (blind children) have also reached the pandal. Shri Vallabhacharya Ji had imparted devotion to Krishna to Surdas Ji. He told that in Vrindavan and in civilized language, a blind person is called Surdas.
Jaya Kishori also arrived on the second day of the Katha.  Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sanjay Tandon also attended the Katha with his family, and today, 25 blind children also came to listen.
Tejaswini Foundation founder Harsh Sharma said that everyone is encouraged to be a part of this sacred Katha. Beginning with the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha, the Barsana Prakat Utsav Shri Radha Ras Bhagwat Katha will run from April 12-18.
Vinod Sharma from Gauri Shankar Sevadal Gaushala, Chandigarh, said that this seven-day spiritual program will continue until April 18th, running from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm daily. Entry will be free for all devotees. Free langar service is also being provided all seven days.
