Krishna Priya Didi guided three of the monks from the programme to the Sri Chaitanya Sridhar Govinda Ashram. These monks had previously seen Gurudev during his last trip to Thailand and Paramananda Prabhu invited them to meet with Srila Gurudev more personally.

Gurudev and the Buddhist monks exchanged pleasantries and discussed various topics. They spoke briefly about India and they asked Gurudev questions about the amount of Temples and how many sannyasis reside there.
