Francis the “Prasadam bhakta”.
Shastrakrit Das: This is Francis, really intelligent and very humble, young man. He reads the bible every day and he also comes to our Gita discussions regularly. He is a Prasadam Bhakta. This eve he came little early and on his own he was sitting in the couch and loudly reading a purport from the Gita.

Searching for Internal Spiritual Connection (Album of photos)
Krishna Premarupa Dasa: It’s five o’clock in the morning and the church bell rings. The monks, headed by their abbot, enter the church from a side entrance and then, after showing their respects to God by kneeling down, they take their seats in front of the altar. Beautiful, mystical singing and glorification of God fill the hall. I feel at home, after all, at least in this lifetime, Christianity is my religious background and I still feel a connection to its tradition, especial...
