On Sunday, 22 February 2015 the Institute for Spiritual Culture in Mayapur conducted a unique symposium entitled 'Celebrating the Glories of Our Mothers'.
For the event we had arranged a large pandal in the open area of the Mayapur Goshala. The warmth of the pandal colours and the beautiful flower decorations created a welcoming and festive atmosphere. Guests were received with flower garlands while devotees were chanting in kirtana.

The month of January was a very busy and blissful time in Mayapur.

On our arrival in Mayapur on the 15th of December 2014 we settled nicely into our home at the goshala. It is such a special place - all surrounded by cows! Through every single window of my ashram all I can see is cows....! And from my balcony I can almost touch them....
How can one not remember Krsna....?!
Some devotees have commented in the past that this is definitely the best place in Mayapur.....!

I arrived in Coimbatore on the 30th of October with a seven-hour delay. My flight left Indore two hours late and thus I missed my connecting flight in Bangalore.

On my arrival in India on the 11th of October I spent five days in Vrindavan. I had had an intense time behind me in Europe and thus enjoyed a little break here in the Dham, attending the morning program and catching up with devotees from all around the world.

The temple courtyard was packed, and the atmosphere intensely surcharged with offerings of devotion to the Lord.
