Dear Swamiji,
We were so glad to get your letter. We talk about you often and wonder how you are, if you are lonely, if you are working, etc. and if you have a satisfactory place in which to cook. You said in one of your previous letters that you go some place to cook once a day. Does that mean that you have a hot meal only one time a day? If so, what do ...

Where there is a will, there is a way! (Album of photos)
ISKCON Copenhagen is one of the few urban temples that produces food, setting a fantastic example to one and all! As they don’t have so much area for growing food in the property, they rent a plot somewhere else in the city and grow healthy beautiful vegetables for Krishna and His devotees. This has been going on for years and years! A wonderful inspiration for all those who have just realized that growing our own food is simply a priority!
