The devotees kept me busy with a variety of programs, and I enjoyed connecting with people while trying to inspire them. One of these programs was for unmarried men and women who desired to prepare themselves to enter married life. The compatibility for marriage is always a highly intriguing and important topic for young people to discuss.
On the 15th of October I travelled from Pune to Nashik to spend one week in the association of the dedicated servants of Sri Sri Radha Madan Gopal, Lalita and Vishaka. Their Lordships are of exquisite beauty and truly offer a glimpse into the spiritual world....

During the first two weeks in October I had the good fortune of visiting the devotees in Pune which is one of the most dynamic and vibrant Vaishnava communities in India. Apart from the main temple (NVCC - New Vedic Cultural Centre), there is the original temple (RKBM - Radha Kunjabihari Mandir) and two more devotee communities - the BCEC (Bhakti Centre for Education and Culture) and an extension centre in Hinjewadi. I had the opportunity to spend time in all four communities, and devotees kept me busy with lots of programs at the temple and in people's homes. I could clearly feel that devotees have cultivated a genuine taste for hearing and inquiring which is a healthy sign of devotional practice.
The last week during September I spent in Cologne/Germany, wrapping up my time in Europe and getting ready to embark on my tour around India and Bangladesh. The devotees invited me to offer some morning classes, the Sunday feast lecture and a house program. Over the past 15 years, Cologne has become my base in the Western world, and it always feels good to visit the wonderful devotees there and catch my breath after intense travels.
