August 18 – 10:30 PM

That’s it, the last program here Skopje. Actually, not just the last program here, but the last program of my summer tour.

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.” 

 (Romeo and Juliet- Will Shakespeare)

 I set out on May 5th from Mayapur, visited 20 temples and delivered approx. 132 hrs.  of Prabhupada-katha. I guess that’s why I have pharyngitis.

I have made a lot of new friends, and I hope I have given as much as I have got. 

Skopje has been a really pleasant visit. When the devotees are enthusiastic to hear, the visit goes fast. If they are responsive the whole exchange is great. I have certainly received a lot of love and affection from the devotees here, and Skopje is definitely on my ‘must visit again’ list.

 We had a group shot at the end:

and we took a couple of shots of the gorgeous Nitai Gaurasundara Deities:

 Their Lordships are so beautiful that I was convinced They must have been made in Bengal. But Vaideha prabhu informed me tonight that They were actually made by a devotee from Serbia, from marble dust and resin.  They are truly beautiful:

and here’s a darshan of their beautiful Prahlada-Nrsimhadeva:

Ok, its nearly 11:00 PM and I am just being called for fresh hot parathas before I take rest.
