Our fear of pain when leaving this world

7/30/2025

 
On the 20th of July, I flew from Kishiniev/Moldova to Vilnius/Lithuania to attend the Baltic Summer Festival which is always a nectarean event. This year it was graced by the presence of HH Bhakti Caitanya Swami, HH Ananda Vardhana Swami, Madhavananda Prabhu and his wife, Srutakirti Prabhu and his wife and Navina Nirada Prabhu as main guest speakers, and Sarvatma Prabhu and his wife, Sistakrit and Ojasvi Prabhus as main kirtaneers. Over 6 days around 400 devotees attended, swimming in the nectarean ocean of bliss while absorbing themselves in various kathas during the day and diving into blissful kirtans in the evenings.
Besides giving two seminar sessions on the topic of "Meeting Death With Joy" and one morning class, I spent every day all day at my book table reaching out and connecting with devotees - well known faces and new ones alike - giving personal guidance and distributing lots of copies of my books. The new book "The Vanaprastha Ashrama - Meeting Death With Joy" was especially popular and flew out like hot cakes.... My source of bliss and deep satisfaction....!

Defending ourselves towards Guru

7/20/2025

 
It was more than 2 years ago that I was visiting Kishiniev/Moldova last, and now, on the 9th of July, it was nice to be back and meet all the devotees again. Moldova has such a sweet and hospitable mood - very similar to Ukraine. After all, Acyuta Priya Prabhu who is the leader in Ukraine also takes care of the devotees here in Moldova. For me, it was a refreshing dip into Ukrainian nectar, especially after having been in the Western world for a while, where people are more impersonal, emotionally dry and more centered on their own goals in life. Many sweet and precious memories from the "old days" resurfaced - the loving spirit of the Bhakti Sangam Festivals, and all the nice Holy Name Retreats we had immersed ourselves in. Truly special moments of the past, which may never appear again...!

Leaving one's body is not a public performance

7/9/2025

 
After returning from Kenya to Germany, I spent one week at the temple in Cologne - catching my breath, doing a few programs and getting ready for my tour around Europe. Cologne has become my base in the Western world - I consider it to be the center of Europe. It is a convenient place for me to stop over, and the devotees are always welcoming and hospitable - eager to give support in so many ways. So it has become one of my homes...
