Take Two!
Sutapa Das: Met these “transcendental twins” in Norwich. They were with devotees in 80’s and one of them lived at Radhadesh. Over time they had lost touch. One of them asked for some beads - I said take two. Another asked for a book - I said take two. They looked at me and said - maybe this is take two of our spiritual journey!
Magical, mystical, memorable, miraculous and moving… what more can I say? The mission goes on… Sankirtan forever.

Kirtan In South Africa! (Album of photos)
Indradyumna Swami: “I am so glad to hear that you would like if we could open one branch of our International Society for Krishna Consciousness there in Cape Town, South Africa. That would be very nice. So if you can arrange for our reception, we may go there immediately, and even I may go on my way back from India and establish one center there [ in South Africa ]. Undoubtedly this movement is very sublime and anyone who takes to it becomes happy.”
[ Srila Prabhupada letter, July 3, 1971 ]
