Sivarama Swami has been visiting Turkey since 2007. We have small but surely growing yatra in Istanbul despite many challenges on preaching. However, we are very fortunate since we have a guidance of such an exalted Vaisnava like Sivarama Maharaja. We did 4 programs with Maharaja. 3 of them were in our yoga center in downtown, and one in our house for devotees only to inspire us more on preaching activities. Many new people were in the programs and in 3 days there were more than 100 people visited our Goranga Yoga Center. Sivarama Swami was giving lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 7th Canto about nine processes of Bhakti Yoga in three days. Kirtans were wonderful. Turkish people are chanting really with full heart. At the end of the programs we distributed prasadam to the visitors.
