The biggest Bhagavad gita
While visiting an influential friend in London, I noticed a very large Bhagavad-gita in his living room, five times bigger than our Deluxe Gita. Only a hundred and eight of them were printed by the Meditteranean BBT (Madhu Sevita Prabhu). They cost about $1,300 each. They were published with top VIPs in mind. The London temple gave a copy to my friend because of his long-time support of the temple. It must have weighed around twenty...

I was praying like anything for some result, since I had to go back to the temple in the next half hour. Suddenly an Indian father and his daughter...
Sankirtana during the summer solstice at Stonehenge
While at Bhaktivedanta Manor, I heard about devotees going to Stonehenge for the summer solstice to do harinama and distribute prasada and books – leaving at about ten p.m. and getting back at 10 the next morning – an all-nighter. I still have an adventurous spirit, so I decided to go. Some of you know that I take rest early and wake up before two to chant my rounds. Well, I threw my regulation out the window to give some...
