The glorious \u201cKrishna Lunch\u201d and \u201cKrishna House\u201d in Gainesville, Florida (Album with photos) The glorious “Krishna Lunch” and “Krishna House” in Gainesville, Florida (Album with photos)
\nGiridhari Swami: After the Dallas Kirtan 50, Rtadhvaja Swami Maharaja, Nitai Caran and I traveled to Gainesville, Florida. We stayed with Brahmatirtha Prabhu and his good wife Bhakti (who won\u2019t allow us to call her mataji or prabhu for three days.) They are such wonderful devotees! For those of you who don\u2019t already know, Brahmatirtha Prabhu met Srila Prabhupada in India, while working for the US Peace Corps. His conversation with Srila Prabhupada was later immortalized in the book, \u201cPerfect Questions Perfect Answers.\u201d Gainesville is also home to the University of Florida, where devotees led by Kalakanta Prabhu have established \u201cKrishna House.\u201d There, students rent rooms, follow certain aspects of sadhana -bhakti, get good association and have the opportunity to progress in their practice of Krishna consciousness. Krishna House is also the base for the amazing \u201cKrishna Lunch\u201d, which has been distributing 1200-1500 prasadam lunches to students for more than 20 years. From Gainesville, we drove to Daytona Beach to visit my two sisters and their families. We had one big and lively family get together, and our dear Malati and her good husband Radha Raman Prabhu drove two-hours from Gainesville to personally cater the event with excellent Italian fare. Suffice to say that the prasadam was a big hit and we thank Malati and Radha Raman for helping us out with this. It really made all the difference in the world!
