He led a beautiful ... See Morekiratn during the very opulent abhiseka. A theme that was highlighted by Chakravarty was devotee care and relationships, he later also gave a seminar on "The 10 devotees that were the biggest inspiration in my spiritual life."It resonated well with teh devotees. The festival started with a Ratha Yatra in Munich, with a really long parade of more than 4 hours, Ravindra Svarupa led a long fired up kirtana, and then we met again on the farm. I stayed with Sacinandana Maharaja, my good fortune. One morning Braja Bihari came and asked a question, how can I avoid thoughts of all the affairs of the day spilling in to my japa? SNS answer;"Before I start chanting, I leave behind all temporary relationship with my environment, my male body and just remember my position as an eternal spirit soul and then I focus on my eternal relationship with Krsna. I do this everyday."
