At the Boston ISKCON temple

Had a great day yesterday
I'm posing a few pictures of yesterday here in Boston. I tried to post them in original size but my connection is not good enough. :)

Arrived in Boston!
Arnika and I just arrived at the Boston airport. At this time we are still in the plane, almost time to get out.
This picture is from earlier, at the Houston Hobby airport.

Finally harvested something! :)
Haha I finally harvested a few seeds from my garden! Not to many though, this is all I got. These came from the black beans.
It seems that my indoor garden will never be actually productive, but instead serve as a hobby and as decoration only. That's cool too! :)

Quick snack at work
I'm not a big fan of sweets on general, but this afternoon I'm making an exception!
Chocolate cake and coffee... Can't beat the combo! :)

Group pictures at the Gita Nagari retreat
This time I'll start with my favorite picture of the entire retreat:
I can not express how much I enjoyed this whole experience. I'll end this post with one of my favorite verses of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam [11.13.29]:
"The false ego of the living entity places him in bondage and awards him exactly the opposite of what he really desires. Therefore, an intelligent person should give up his constant anxiety to enjoy material life."
Hare Krishna!
Gita Nagari Hare Krishna retreat
The main attraction of this retreat was Radhanath Swami, author of the acclaimed book "The Journey Home". This was a rare opportunity to meet him live, and since I have followed his lectures and read his articles for quite a while I just couldn't let it pass.
We got on an early flight to Newark, NY last Friday, then drove about 3 hours and a half to the farm.
On Saturday we watched a couple of lectures, had prasadam and toured around the farm. During the afternoon Rachel and I went to Port Royal, a nearby town to by fruits and make phone calls (there was no signal at the farm).
By the end of Saturday I finally had a chance to meet Radhanah Swami. It was a short encounter but definitely worth the effort! This is the only picture with him I got.
And here are a few pictures of our group in different occasions during the retreat:
This was definitely an incredible experience, very hard to describe here. But I hope you can have a glimpse of what we experienced through the pictures.
Hari bol!
