1. Anjana Suta Academy, Hanumatpresaka Swami, tour of Russia 2009 Part One: Yaroslav & Rybinsk

2. From Madrid we went to Moscow, Friday, 15 May 2009. Then we traveled to Yaroslav, Rybinsk, Volgoda, Ivanov, and finally back to Madrid 12 May.

4. This was our room in Yaroslav. Note candle on table. There was no electricity. Water was ICE COLD, but in the morning there was a big pot heating on the stove. We took some and went into the cold, dark, dank bathroom and bathed, and washed our clothes.

6. During the day we lectured, and Visistha Prabhu Trans- lated: Nectar of Instruction – Bhakti Sastri. Actually he was the only person who spoke English and most of the time he had other service, so we could not talk, talk, talk with anyone for the whole month!

10. Hari-nama Sankirtan Little Bit Rain

11. Hari Bol!

12. HpSwami

13. Next we drove to Rybinsk. It’s on the river and we stayed in a flat that reminded us of our childhood in 1952. These Russian towns were so simple and pure. Every morning, class in our little flat and then usually out for computer and such during the day, and home-program in the evening.

16. Very nice Historian. We discussed current Russian thought.

17. Super nice Devotee. Chemical Engineer in Petroleum Industry. We used his computer. We had to walk up 7 storys to get to it!

19. One day we got out of “prison” and went swimming. There are several new hydro-electric lakes being built like this one. Devotees had country house on the lake (with few mosquitos)

21. Not cold at all!

23. Krsna stole our clothes!

24. Evening Home Program

26. Light of the Bhagavata

29. Sir, please autograph my book!

30. Bhakta Staas. He is blind but he and his wife have robust retail food business, contribute super for the programs. They vacated their flat so we could use it. Thank you.

31. Out of special compassion for them, I dwelling within their hearts, destroy with the shinning lamp of knowledge the darkness born of illusion. Bhagavad Gita 10.11

32. On to Volgoda (Continued in dtc090529.ppt) ►
