Last year the bus party from Sri Sri Radha-Gopinath Mandir (Chowpatty) went to the coal mines to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. After a heavy Saturday, we decided to take a break on Sunday.

Srila Prabhupada in Cameron, Texas

Mishra Bhagavan and Sri Rangavati were traveling from Houston. She was wearing a pink sari and he a dhoti and bright yellow T-shirt that read 'Prabhupada on Tour'. They pulled into a little town known as Cameron.
