  1. I'm at a George Harrison event. Beautiful songs and memories from those who knew him. He passed away eight years ago this evening.
  2. Just off to a Bhagavad-gita sanga in nearby Luton
  3. Yamuna and Dinatarine, early disciples of Srila Prabhupada, have just finished a two-hour lunch visit to our home. Great company.
  4. One of the shining lights of the Shri sampradaya, Chinna Jeer Swami, visited the Manor. Very rare for a Shri swami to preach outside India.
  5. A Christian preacher gets his flock to greet each other with the Sanskrit word 'Namaste.' Read about it on: www.deshika,wordpress.com
  6. Came down with a heavy cold. Must be something to do with coming from 100 degree heat to a British winter.
  7. Chanted my Gayatri mantra as the sun rose over Afghanistan this morning. Back to Heathrow and drizzle, cold, and darkness. Bad karma?
  8. Riding on the back of a motorbike through Chennai rush-hour traffic - at night. Dangerous but super fun. Now at airport waiting for flight
  9. Absolutely bucketed down with monsoon rain today. Grey all day. Talk about Indian summer. Mind you, the nights have been 82F so rain is good
  10. Hot. Just saw a herd of camels and went for a swim - in that order. A dust storm blew up and was followed by the last of the monsoon rain.
  11. Bombay airport looks just like Stanstead now - with free internet access. What a good idea. Jet airways was good but I didn't sleep
  12. Padre Pio died tonight in 1968.
  13. Still a bit sore from yesterday's nine-mile London Skyride. 40,000 cyclists can't be wrong! Wrote a piece : http://deshika.wordpress.com/
  14. Spoke to daughter in Washington last night. She has just been at a large kirtan festival: http://www.westcoastkirtany...
  15. Just booked my ticket to India. Off to Mumbai, for Indore and Ujjain, then return from Chennai. I hope to meet one of the 'Vaishnava popes'
  16. Celebrating 40 years since the Hare Krishna founder arrived in England for the first time and was whisked away to John Lennon's house
  17. Just shown the Conservative candidate for the neighbouring constituency around the Manor.
  18. Today is the birthday of the great-grandfather of the Hare Krishna movement. His name is Bhaktivinode Thakur (1838-1914) See deshika site
  19. For a few days I'm in the far west of Ireland - as far out as you can get - bleak, lashing rain, and colder than London, but inspirational
  20. There are three new blogs over at www.deshika.wordpress.com. They're about Stonehenge, Vaishnava ritual, and Cow Protection. Please comment!
