Traveling monk in Africa traveling in India

By the mercy of Guru and Gauranga, I will be traveling to India - the last time I went was in 2009. I will be leaving Johannesburg on the 29th of October 2012 and will return to Johannesburg on the 16th of December.

I am most fortunate, that I will be traveling with a very dear freind and a well wisher of Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON,  Abhishek Gupta, who also a photo jounalist and is from Bengal. I met Abhishek in 2011 in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. At that time he was traveling around east Africa on a photo asingment.  I was staying with Prakash prabhu, who is the president of ISKCON Dar es Salaam. Every night from 7pm to 8pm, he has a Bhagavad gita class at his apartment, Abhishek would come to the classes and would listen very attentively and ask interesting questions. We came freinds and told me that if I should ever come to India, I should contact him.

Watch this space for more nectar as we travel and visit the holy dhams, associate with the devotees of the Lord and to hear of His pastimes.
