TOUR UPDATES

MARCH 11 SPAIN: ISKCON NUEVA VRAJAMANDALA have three cows who have never given birth to a calf but yet have been giving milk daily spontaneously for years, the longest on its 7th year. And they also have cows who have given birth to a calf but continue giving milk years after without again giving birth to another calf. 
 

MARCH 5 CAMEROON: Devotees in Kamyavan continue to lead the way in producing devotee grown food. All temples and all devotees should make a determined effort to grow some amount of food. 

MARCH 2 TOGO:  Participated in Food for Life Prasadam distribution.  A few devotees involved with the Gita Nagari project received Harinam initiation  at a homa ceremony.  Since my last visit devotees have made some important renovations, including setting up a brand new temple altar in the middle of the courtyard. 

MARCH 1 DAMODARDESH:  This morning I attended a home program where some 40 devotees were present. Although it was a regular Srimad-Bhagavatam class, I took the opportunity to introduce the subject matter of Varnasrama. 

FEBRUARY 26: KANHAIYADESH: Program at the New Vrindavan Hall where the topic was The Three Gifts of Nature as explained in the Mahabharata by Grandfather Bhismadeva, namely 1) Cows, 2) Land, and 3) Knowledge.   Many devotees appreciated the relevancy of cows and some shared that they were brought back to the days of their childhood life when they lived in villages.

FEBRUARY 24: Vijaya Ekadasi, a great day to start a three month tour that is meant to bring us closer to triumph and success, vijaya!  From Burkina Faso, West Africa:  Today's prasadam distribution (Food For Life) in a village called BISSIRI (52km from Ouagadougou Burkina Faso).  More than 400 boxes and many items distributed.
