Last day in Mayapur

On our last day in Mayapur we went to the Ganga for a refreshing dip. It was pretty hot by that time and the water was cool but not nippy. The local buffalo herd was taking bath at the regular ghat along with devotees from all over the world, as usual.

Taking bath in the Ganga in Mayapur is a most purifying experience especially since we had just completed 15 days of meetings.

The garland lady gave Acintya Rupa a garland to offer to Ma Ganga and ended up with a new gamsha after some time of begging us for something. One doesn't usually take anything valuable when you go for a dip in the Ganga. It will get stolen. Still she seemed happy enough with what she received.

This story was created as a news item in Manila and then added to the story list as a test for Steve.

Heliodorus Column -- Archaeology Online

An article on this topic appeared in the BTG quite a few years ago. It still makes a good read.

An archaeological discovery proves that there were western followers of Vedic principles twenty-two centuries ago.
