Battlefield Bhajans Vol. 13 Dedicated to HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Since the end of this deployment is near, the time of family issues usually come out now. While most are happy to be going home, others are scared. Their marriages have drifted apart and they are finding it hard to accept the realities that await them on the home front.

I felt nostalgic living in a van with two bramacaris in December, because this was how I spent my youth in the 1970s and 80s. Back then, on our first day out, Brajananda told me that he is always grateful for the training he received: “If you can stay in the ring, you will be a prize fighter.” “Good advice,” I replied.

It was 1966, and some young men had come to him and begun to take to Krsna consciousness. They had only the barest ideas of the philosophy. But the Swami was wonderful, prasadam was great, and chanting got you higher...

On my way to buy a juice at a Quick-shop, I approached a young man sitting on the pavement, his attache case next to him. He was obviously waiting for a lift home after work I surmised.. I introduced myself to him, and asked him what he was doing sitting on the pavement. As I thought, he was waiting for his lift. I asked him where he worked. He told me that he was an accountant. I showed him Srila Prabhupada's books – he looked through them with great interest. I began to speak about the teachings and principles in Srila...
