Finding a quick fix on sankirtana
We were returning to the Ljubljana temple from a harinam-sankirtan tour in the Slovenian mountains, and we took the shortest route back through Italy. Driving down through the mountains, a red lamp activated on the dashboard of our van. We stopped within a few kilometers in the closest village. A pipe from the water cooling system had broken down and all the water spilled out. This was a very serious problem. If this was not fixed the...
