Back to The Motherland - St. Petersburg (Album of photos)
Indradyumna Swami: St. Petersburg was the last stop on our Russian tour before moving on to Ukraine. No doubt, St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And the local devotees are an integral part of that beauty. We enjoyed 5 days of chanting, dancing and feasting in their association. Myself, Badahari Dās and Chaturatma Dās all lectured on Srimad Bhagavatam to attentive audiences. We look forward to returning!

News photo of the lion gate in Puri. The lion, as well as the deity of Jaya (of Jaya and Vijaya) standing at the gate, were broken.
Madhavananda das: When the storm hit all electricity, water, internet, phones, trains, as well as all land vehicles going in and out of Puri completely stopped. It was a bit of a drama. At one point we actually weren’t sure if we were going to survive or not. The storm ripped off (note: more like exploded, destroyed), the upstairs front aluminum window frame/wall of our ashram. Which let inside the 250 kmh winds and...

Srila Prabhupada: Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat: even a little devotional service can save one from the greatest danger.
