I visited here in 1975 with Hamsadutta's coterie and Mercedes bus. Kapil prabhu , from France, and I, were accidentally left behind when they returned to Mayapura early in the morning. We had apparently slept too far from the main group, and they did not notice our absence until too late. We had found a veranda of the local school with a breeze to keep away mosquitoes, it was pleasant there.
We had almost no money, maybe five rupees. We chanted, thought what to do next. We walked ten kilometers to the nearby town and railway, a wonderful but exhausting journey, where the police brought us sweets and fruit and money ! We had some adventures further, including me out-bargaining the puffed rice seller in the market, such that a while crowd gathered to see the white sadhu bargaining, and clapped and cheered when i triumphed ! The cucumber seller took back my hard earned bargained gains next though, ripping me off slightly! lol
Chanting Hare Krsna in Eka chakra grama and area is very very special, soothing and deep, all must go there!
