Johannesburg: The shooting of an episode of the "Abhay Charan" television series is being done right now here in Johannesburg. One scene was that of a Harinam party dancing through town. [it's supposed to be Detroit in 1970]. I am playing the role of Shyamasundara Prabhu. When the scene was done, the director and cameraman asked me to discretely walk up to a group of non-devotees who were discussing among themselves...

“A Banana for a friend….”

Pamho, AgtSP Berlin, Germany: One day during the marathon, I noticed my SKT partner was having an exceptionally huge day while I was struggling like crazy. At one point I also noticed that his book cart was running out early in the day, so somehow I managed to unlock and take it the van to reload it for him. When I came back he was kind of upset that I would serve him like that, but anyway…… Then he said he was thinking of...
