The Program ın Ankara was fabulous. It was held at a healıng energy center. The people were very open and desırous of hearıng the detaıls of what was the dıfference between materıal and spırıtual sound and energy. Srautı Maharaja and I gave 3 lectures over 2 days. There was one lady named Sophia who was especıally receptıve. She completely understood the dıfference between the gross body the subtle body and the soul. At least ıntellectually she was able to dıscrımınate between the 3. She also understood the ımportance of transcendental sound comıng from the lıps and heart of a sadhu. My feelıng was that most of the peopole got ıt. they understood the subtle dıfferences at least ıntellectually and they defınıtely understood the ımportance of assocıatıng wıth the Sadhu. It was clear from theır response that they understaood that Bhaktı comes from the the heart of the sadhu and from nowhere else.
They all loved the chantıng and chanted wıth great attentıon and focus. A real medıtatıve mood. I was very ımpressed wıth our host Gıta Devı who ıs Srıla Gurudevas Harı Nam dıscıple. She recevıed us warmly and took care of us ın her home wıth great affectıon and love. I really apprecıated her sweet mood. Also the gentleman who owned the healıng center was quıte helpful and supportıve as well. Savıtrı Dıdı had all of the programs organızed nıcely and dıd a great job wıth the arrangements. Ankara ıs a great place for preachıng the mıssıon of Lord Caıtanya.

I set up Blog Page and First Preaching in Turkey
Dandavats and Pranams to all,
So to day I finished all of the essentials of the blog post stuff. Profile info picture etc.
I am in Ankara Turkey. I just came here from Istanbul. We had some real fine programs in Istanbul. We did one Hari Nam on Sunday in the marketplace on the European side that was out of this world. It is like this Big Bazar with tables everywhere and everything you can imagine to sell. We were well received with the people chanting and dancing in front of us. They clapped their hands, chanted the Maha Mantra, took flyers and books, and generally had a great time. They gave us water and warm smiles. On the way back to the ferry we danced and chanted the entire way back over a mile walk. We were followed by this enthusiastic group of about 8 teenage girls who danced and chanted with us literally at the TOP OF THIER LUNGS. WOW it was so inspiring. We met one devotee from South Africa on the way back named Bhakta Brad with his Fiance from Turkey. It caught us completely by surprise to see him fall on the floor and offer obeisances in the middle of the street. He was so happy to see us and we him. There was also two other younger girls about 8 and 10 who danced and chanted with us the whole way to the ferry with their father. It was so extraordinary to see how Lord Caitanyas Mercy was blessing everyone. I sold some books in the Mall to a group of hair dressers in their salon yesterday in Istanbul. It was also amazing to see how much they were interested in Bhakti Yoga.
I will be doing my first program tonight in Ankara and tomorrow Hari Nam Sankirtan and Book distribution. I will report on it as it happens. Thanks for reading the blog and remember Chant Hare Krishna and your life will be sublime!
AND!!!!!!!!!
HAVE YOU DISTRIBUTED A BOOK TODAY?!?!
Your Servant
