Villa Vrindavan/Italy

This was my second visit to the community of Villa Vrindavan near Florence/Italy. I was surprised how cool the weather was - I expected it to be warmer at this time of the year being mid of April. And the big mansion of the temple building was of course not heated any longer, and thus rather cold. Some little tapasya - especially for Rasarani, who is used to the Mayapur temperatures...
Villa Vrindavan is a very appropriate name for this community. It is surrounded by beautiful nature, and every morning and evening one can hear the peacocks calling, which inevitably makes one remember Vrindavan. Infact, here we hear them more often than in Vrindavan these days....
And of course, Sri Sri Radha Vraja Sundara are the center of the enitre community.

One of my missions in Cologne was to apply for a Russian visa. I had not been to Russia for around twenty years, and it was not so easy to obtain a visa these days. I had gathered all the necessary documents, and a travel agent in the suburbs of Cologne arranged the rest within a couple of days.
I received a Cultural and Humanitarian visa, which would allow me to enter in Vaisnava dress and with shaved head. After all, it would not be so easy for me to pretend that I was an ordinary tourist. I don't even carry anything else but devotional clothes with me....

On the 30th of March Rasarani and myself took the train from Zagreb to Hungary to visit New Vraja Dham. Rasarani is 18 years old and grew up in Mayapur - her father is from Hungary and her mother from the Canarian Islands. She was one year old when they moved to Mayapur, and she recently graduated from Bhakti Vidya Purna Maharaja's Girls' School. Her entire family is very devotional - her parents, brother and older sister are all seriously practicing devotees. Her brother is only 23 years old, and traveling preaching in China!
