It was another jumpy June. I was still in Radhadesh for the beginning of the month. Our final assignment was due but I had finished it a couple days earlier. I used the time packing items, scanning papers and living up the lingering time in the spiritual safe haven. I decided since my last trip to India that the trick I would adopt for travelling is “wheels”. Try it out yourself some time. (more…)
May was a mighty month. We were still finishing off our course on the History of Vaishnava Thought, with Gopal Hari Prabhu. We were looking into the four major Vaisnava sampradayas, their founding acaryas and Vedantic approaches from the different schools. It was naturally a very fulfilling course. (more…)
We started the interesting month of April with Lord Ramacandra’s appearance day. The day was filled with splendorous celebration, bringing Radhadesh alive for the lingering in of spring. Syamananda Prabhu directed an amazing drama about the exile of Rama, the cast being many of Radhadesh’s finest. (more…)
March was magnificent. I started the month in Mayapur. My little brother Rupa had surprised me; earlier he had informed me he was on route to Australia but when I rolled into Mayapur he was waiting for me, extending his trip. (more…)
I came into Mayapur in the early evening, via the train from Kolkata. (more…)
Where am I? I’m in Mayapur, West Bengal, India. It’s not that I have been keeping up with writing anyway, so it’s not much of an excuse that I’m in India but I just wanted to let you all know. I’m hoping to build up some spiritual credit here in the Dham so that this blog can hopefully become more substantial for you all. Thanks for tuning in. I’ll be back in Australia this summer/winter (June-August) and then one more year in Radhadesh. Hare Krsna. (more…)
January was off to a jolly start. I was only in Radhadesh for a couple of days, after the two week vacation in England, before we were off again. We had a plan to escort HG Hrdaya Caitanya Prabhu on his GBC duties, from New Mayapur (France) to Paris, and then back home. (more…)
December 2011 started in Radhadesh, in our newly acquired glass box (student lounge). I finished my first of four essays just as the Christmas marathon began. My weekly breakfasts, consisting of soup, chai, and the like, were gaining some popularity (stroking my ego all the while).
