Brighupati Prabhu ki jaya!
Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The book distributors at LA Temple get one day a week off; Tuesday. Last week, on this day, Brighupati Prabhu took a couple of them for a drive into the nearby San Gabriel Mountains for a picnic and a japa walk. It only takes half an hour to drive from Watseka Avenue, past Downtown, and out into the mountains: it takes over an hour to simply get out of town in London…
They drove up Mount Wilson, the highest point around, and stopped for a view. Inland over the mountain range it was nice, but over LA it was smoggy. Not brown smog, but white, which is better I suppose. Maybe.
In the layby there, another car pulled up and Brighupati Prabhu mentioned, "Hey, they look like Bengalis. I think there's some books in my car," and sprang off to go distribute a book at 6500ft above sea level, possibly the highest book distributed! You just can't keep a seasoned sankirtan devotee down!
Your Servant,
Vraja Kumara das
