At the end of November I visited the devotees in Trivandrum/Kerala for one week. It was my first visit to this community, and I felt immediately very much at home. Kerala seems economically better off than the rest of India – apparently the British established a good system for education, and many people work outside of India and have their houses here. The atmosphere is also more relaxed and cultured.
The community of devotees is not big but has a nice and personal atmosphere, with a main temple outside of the city with beautiful Krishna Balarama and Gaur Nitai Deities, and a good number of little preaching centres and nama hatta groups. We had a nice time churning different topics at various venues, and the devotees were eagerly accepting the books I have published.
