I spent 10 days in India the beginning of August.<br />
<br />
At first I presented a paper to the conference hosted by the Swami Narayan Sampraday at Akshardam in New Delhi<br />
<br />
I then spent several days at the Radha Raman Temple Ashram in Vrindavan with Shri Shrivatsa Goswami and his family<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had a brief visit to a magnificent marble inlay gallery of Dinesh Chand Bansal<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"> </span>near Mathura<br />
<br />
Shrivatsa and I stopped at the tomb of Moghul emperor Akbar on the way back home</div>
<br />
I briefly stopped at Gobind Sadan, founded by Baba Virsa Singh, to visit devotee and author Mary Pat Fischer<br />
<br />
Here below are some images from my time<br />

<br />
We trained back south early enough to see the Macy's fireworks from the roof of our Sunnyside apartment building.<br />
<br />
Those fireworks are so grand, that though they take place facing New Jersey from New York's West side, we see them from Queens<br />

<br />
Church members chip in at various stations, and this year I ended up at the grill with Father Jerome, feeding 5,000 despite starting out with just 5 buns and 2 hot dogs. <br />

Then at the stroke of 00:00 we pray in gratitude and to offer ourselves for the year to come.<br />
<br />
After our prayers we have a toast with the family, and then head right next door to our neighbors of 18 years to spend an hour or so together.<br />

I lived under an intense schedule, including teaching two separate all
day seminars to different groups. All other of the remaining days
required us to attend at least two if not more appointments and
obligations from morning to night. (These activities are reported
elsewhere.) <br />
<br />
By grace, we managed nevertheless to steal a bit of time in the majestic woods that sit near to the home of my host family Paul and Reinhild Frank.

<br />
The primary purpose from my visit was to teach a seminar on spiritual practice, entitled <i>Balance in Spiritual Life</i>, and to confer with colleagues about a project for mediation and reconciliation.<br />
<br />
Additionally, I enjoyed many wonderful and exciting experiences<br />
<br />
One morning I was taken on a stroll through the historic river front park in Lachine, originally a port for fur trade.<br />

On that same morning we were guests of honor at the services in the Family and Gospel Church of Reverend Daryl Gray.<br />

One morning I had the thrill to visit the bird sanctuary aside the St. Lawrence Rapids. The second picture here below is a bird watcher. The park is full of people with camera set ups like this and more! The third picture is Franco Famularo, dear friend, and my primary host in Montreal. I stay with his family, and much of the many parts of my arrangements and organization are made by Franco.<br />

On Monday, (which is Thanksgiving Day in Canada but Columbus Day in the United States) we went to see the Montreal Alouettes (The "Als) play against the Toronto Argonauts (the "Argos") (names anyone?). The home team won 29 - 19, an exciting game, made all the more thrilling as Als quarterback <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/cfl-record-72429-yards-and-counting-for-anthony-calvillo/article2196903/?utm_medium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm_source=Sports&utm_content=2196903">Anthony Calvillo broke the all time pass yardage world record</a> in the history of professional football (including all US quarterbacks) <i> </i><br />

At the end of this Monday, the Famularo's created a special "US Style" Thanksgiving feast for the Canadian young people who'd never had such an experience. The whole kit and kaboodle, cooking all day, everything from scratch, Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a host of delectable deserts. I am happy to report that Canadians are quick to learn to survive the rigors of such an ordeal :)<br />

<br />
Today during Sunday Service, Alex Martija reported on Holy Days celebrated in Korea for 8 days starting February 3, Lunar New Year. After the service, Paul Frank and Alex ended up singing and dancing! <br />
<br />
Later Michel and Marcelline de Marie hosted a good bye party for me in their home.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of the Sunday Service, and the farewell party:<br />
