One day without our luggage creates such inconvenience and disturbance. And the happiness when we get our luggage back is nothing else but the relief of distress....
Memories of the "old days" in Riga came to mind - how we had established this temple between 1989 and 1999. It had been true pioneer work - starting with absolutely nothing: no building, no saris, no Deities, no spices.....
And a few years later we had 75 brahmacaris and 35 brahmacarinis....
Now this phase in life seemed so distant - almost like in a previous life time....
I wish our devotees would also impart this attitude to their children.....
This episode was a true eye-opener to me, and it dawned upon me that maybe we are doing something wrong with our children.....
On the 13th of September I flew off to Madrid/Spain.....
