I was attracted to the community, the Deities and the natural beauty of New Govardhana. Plus, here there are many opportunities to serve and to meet new devotees.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Please tell us a bit about yourself?<\/p>\n<p>A: Since meeting the devotees in Melbourne, I have been fortunate to travel and perform devotional service. I have served in Radhadesh, South Africa, and Mayapur. I appreciate the similar moods of New Govardhana and Mayapur.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What are your main services here on the farm?<\/p>\n<p>A: Currently, my favourite service is making garlands for Gaura Nitai and Radha Govardhanadhari as well as going out on harinama sankirtana. In addition, I have joined The Conch editorial team.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How do you see yourself contributing to New Govardhana?<\/p>\n<p>A: In the future, I am looking forward to cooking for and dressing the Deities, utilising my artistic skills and perhaps serving in the gurukula. While here, I hope to deepen my appreciation for the Holy Name and sastra by immersing myself in kirtana and learning from members of the New Govardhana community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/8979874196c5b8671b7ec6ec7f6c0f2c\/tumblr_ppgzcoQi2J1sbj0vuo1_500.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>IN FOCUS: ANASUYA DASI<br \/>\nInterviewed by Syamala Gopa Kishori Dasi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10650,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[152],"class_list":["post-73494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent-media","tag-nectar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10650"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73494"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73494\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73496,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73494\/revisions\/73496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
