Reflections: Emotional Freedom
10th of July, 2007 - 16:15
A recent visit to the Dandavats news site — the first since many moons — got me reading an article by Bir Krishna Goswami of ISKCON on the emotional dysfunctions that have followed the ISKCON paradigm.

Off the Grid for 4 days
Posted: 25th of July, 2007 - 17:10
I'll be completely off the grid until the evening of Guru-purnima. Caturmasya begins tomorrow with a set of new vratas upcoming. To ensure a smooth beginning, I'll be staying away from civilization until the evening of Guru-purnima. (Not the least due to the pandal they set up 300 meters away with loud akhanda-kirtan for four days...) Good wishes to everyone, I'll get back to whatever is pending as I return.
