Crodding the Yamuna river in the morning; Imli Tala in the distance on the far bank.

The entire parikrama party had to cross the final stretch of Yamuna by foot.

No better way for a local girl to spend her school holiday than hearing hari katha and doing Braja Mandal Parikrama!

Sripad Rasananda prabhu leads “Mangala Gitam” In beautiful Barel Van. Shortly after this photo was taken a swarm of bees attacked and we shifted to the outside forested area.

Local girl begs for 2 rupees; Australian girls beg for Krsna prema.
In the evening we sat with Srila Gurudev. Kishori Mohan prabhu and Sudevi didi led an ecstatic yugal bandi maha mantra kirtan (in the “Australian tune”). It was so beautiful and so enlivening to all present. One of the best kirtans of Karttika so far.
Just a reminder: wonderful descriprions of our Vraja mandala parikrama have been presented in the parikrama book and is available to read online or download for free at purebhakti.com.
