I left Melbourne just under a week ago, after a 2 year stay in the Melbourne Temple men's ashram. Currently I am in Brisbane, staying with Sita Pati, his wife Param Satya, and their son Prahlada.
Brisbane has a wonderful climate: fine one day, perfect the next. This is a nice change from Melbourne which is notoriously changeable in its weather patterns. Although it is mid winter, it is sunny and warm here on the deck of Sita Pati's house amidst a forest of Tulasi plants.
Sita Pati and I have been attending Bikram Yoga classes daily - 90 minutes of yoga in a sauna! It is a kind of physical euphoria, and great for the body - the sweating experience is very cleansing.
Param Satya is and excellent cook, and the family diet is extraordinarily healthy - all organic and salt free. So the combined experience of Bikram Yoga, sunshine and such a healthy diet is like a kind of health retreat for me!
I have given 3 Krishna Conscious presentations since I've been here: Saturday night KrishnaFest at AtmaYoga, Sunday feast at Govinda's and Tuesday Night Bhagavad Gita class at AtmaYoga.
Sita Pati and I have also had a number of deep conversations about various things I have been thinking about over the last month. I value his friendship very deeply, and he is something of a mentor to me.
So all in all I am feeling refreshed and excited about the next chapter of my life in Auckland, New Zealand.
After Brisbane I will spend 4 days in Sydney to help Pratapana prabhu to develop the poster graphics to advertise this years Le Carnaval Spirituel Australian tour - Indradyumna Swami's travelling show. Then, on the 20th of August, I fly into Auckland.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Flip Mino video camera, after reading about it on KrishnaGeeks.com. It is a nifty and compact unit, very simple yet effective for capturing videos for the Internet, and great in low light (Karunamayi Mataji - it is pretty good!)
I have shot a few videos and just started a YouTube account. Here is my first upload - a play battle between me and Prahlada and Atma Yoga!
