ISKCON Chowpatti, Mumbai, Maharastra, India
28 April 2004

Total Mumbai Masala Slammer, Baby!

Shakaboom shakaboom shakaboom! Play them Mumbai mrdangas, I gotta dance!

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Chowpatti. In 1970, Srila Prabhupada gave a talk at this place. As he exited this building he glanced around the neighboring area and commented, "We should have a temple here." ISKCON Chowpatti--which began with a single room in the 1980s and gradually expanded to the size it is now--is two minutes walk from here.

Inside this Mumbai taxicab, the Maharastrian Mayavadi "saint" Shirdi Sai Baba has the place of honor.

Along the shore at Chowpatti.


The beach facing the Arabian Sea is so peaceful, one tends to forget that on the opposite side of these waters the troubled Middle East is boiling in a political stew.



Big Business, Bollywood, Bastis: such is the Mumbai Masala!

Samartha Maharaja who, like Shirdi Sai, has been dead a good while, is another Mumbai Mayavadi Marvel!


Last Saturday evening I gave a talk on "Overcoming Greed."


Next day was the Sunday Feast program.


Welcome to the Hindmata Restaurant, operating in Mumbai for more than eighty years. Since 1921 it has been run by a family whose members are now ISKCON devotees. Excellent pure veg Jain meals-ready hotel...all preps offered to Krsna!

Shopping for my shilas at "little Vrndaban," a Pushti Margi (i.e. Vallabhacarya Vaisnava Sampradaya) area in Mumbai.

On the way to a home program.

Darsana of beautiful Sri-Sri Gaura-Nitai in this home temple.

Home program finale: harinama dance program! Shakaboom, shakaboom, shakaboom...
