Sunday, August 2nd, 2026 Brooklyn, New York The festivities go on to honour the origins of ISKCON, and Brooklyn is the place. 60 years ago the papers were signed to acknowledge the beginning of a revolution in consciousness. I was slotted to act as Dance Master at Union Square.

Wednesday, July 29th, 2026 Surrey, British Columbia With my friends from the Burnaby temple we went to visit a nice family, second consecutive day in a row. Needless to say, for a second day also, it was a lovely home, state-of-the-art. Huge! Massive windows. You are inside/outside. A conducive place for kirtan chanting. And for a second day in a row the party that came to visit was unequipped. We carried no drum; silly us, but made due with a box which our driver and drummer
