The World Sankirtan Newsletter for February 2015

February turned out to be a great month for the Pune temple: It was the No. 1 temple in the world. Look out, Mayapur and New Delhi! Pune is entering the transcendental competition. Rightly so, since 160 brahmacaris live there. I just visited the recently constructed Pune temple, where the presiding Deities are Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai, Sri Sri Radha-Vrndavana-chandra, and Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra – all very beautiful...

Halfway there, Lalita needed a toilet stop, so we pulled over in the small beach-side town, Plimmerton. Figuring the time it takes to get us in and out of the car, we thought we may as well try distributing books...
