Dear devotees,

Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We have just completed the Lithuanian Rathayatra/Padayatra programme with His Grace Madhavananda prabhu from Bhubanesvara.

I arrived in Lithuania from Novosibirsk on the 14th. There was some anxiety as I had put Giriraja in my checkin luggage, and we had to transit in Moscow.
