At Radha Gopnatha Temple in Mumbai.

So we are her in Mumbai staying at the famous Chowpatty Iskcon temple. Every time I come here I am amazed at the care and attention given to the resident and guest devotees alike. It is certainly a priority to make everyone feel that their needs have been met both materially and spiritually. Somehow my jetlag is a little more difficult to overcome than usual. Maybe I am just getting older.

 

I see so many new faces here at the temple in addition to the stalwarts that have been here for many years. It is hard to believe that I have not been here for almost eight years. The entire temple room is completely renovated with intricately carved teek wood all around. Additionally they have acquired more buildings in the area for guests, office space and residents. It is a very well run program.

 

We just taught Balagopal how to wash his clothes by hand. He had fun wringing them out and then hanging them on the line. He has been waking up at 4:00 every morning so we have been taking him to the morning program with us. There are about 150 people in the temple for the morning program every morning from 5:00 till 9:00. It is a fantastic way to wake up!

 

I will post some pictures of the temple later
