Govardhana parikrama! (Album with photos)
Bhakti Caitanya Swami: On the 31st we did half a Govardhana parikrama, stopping at so many sacred places on the way and talking about them. We started at 7 in the morning, and returned to our ashrams at 5 in the evening. It was a wonderful day. Govardhana is so rich in transcendental lilas that it’s a shame to rush through it in just one day. There is another section of photos of this part of the parikrama, which we have just put up also. View at full screen.

Bhakta Derek who studies at San Jose State University in California joined me for book distribution. Derek was talking to one of the professors who came to the table, the professor mentioned that he tried to meditate but it is very difficult. Derek responded back in a gentle yet firm way.

Paramatma comes to help again.
Ashfield is usually rated as one of the toughest suburbs in Sydney for book distribution, and is famous for it across the Congregational Book Distribution Team in Sydney. I have been there a few times already. So this time I started doubting that anything will go out.
When I entered the van, on the verge of giving up entirely in my attempt, His Grace Radhika Prasad Prabhu enlightened me with enthusiasm to preach. When we were about to go out on the dreaded streets, Prabhu read out loud the peom that Srila Prabhupada wr...

Agnideva prabhu better.
Dear devotees, friends and well-wishers:
Here is the latest update on Agnideva prabhu:
Over the past weekend doctors conducted a CT scan of Agnideva’s chest. The Pneumo Thorax showed clear of any serious damage and no cause for fluid buildup. Amazingly after this test the lung drainage system showed zero fluid. As a result, the doctors removed the drainage pump with tubes from his lungs. They also stopped administering oxygen. He was happy to have his first shower in 2 weeks as well as have some ice, water and juice...

“Harree Kreesshhna, please give me some Arabic books”
I was rushing through the back streets of Campsie (Sydney) on my return visit to the town after a frustrating search for a parking spot.
There was an elderly Middle Eastern gentleman on the bus-stop seat of an isolated street. I was about to walk past him. But something in me said: I know there will be no chance of him understanding Krishna, but the point is, “the more you ask the more you sell.”
He was shaking from Parkinson’s Disease and could hardly speak, but...
