Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Namaste Sorry about the delay, in the post, between jetlag and the constant travels from various homes, to temples, I have not been able to access the Net. Our journey in the UK was not as We had expected. Our host (Ram) had made arrangments for us to stay in a local University dorm room, as it had a wonderful view of the river. However somehow the Dorm mother had forgoten this arrangment, and on our first day, and our first encounter with a Brit, We were deluged with a barage of anger, mostly saying we were not welcome. Ram, reminded her of the arrangment, and after She varified her documentation, she apolgized. But the mood was allready set. Thanks to Mother the next day that was to be repared nicely. The next day I was to speak at a local Hindu temple, just after a talk on Bhagavad Gita. Just after the talk a Devotee (Anand) came forward and asked if we could grant him some time by staying at his house. We of course accepted. This was the loveliest of places, and an exellent atmosphere. Anand, was the greatest of hosts. During the day, we visited the local castles, and in the evening we had satsang, and Puja classes, with Anand and his friends. This continued for thee days, until our departure, for Malaysia. The trip from UK to Malaysia, was exausting. Because of finances we could not go streight to Malaysia from UK, we had to go via San Francisco, as this was our departure point. So our trip was from Manchester, England to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, via Frankfurt Germany, San Francisco Ca., Taipe, Taiwan, ROC. When we got to Kuala Lumpur, we found no luggage. The only items we had was our carry on. All else was missing. Apparently, they had missed the connecting flight in Frankfurt, and was being held in San Francisco. It took 4 days and endless phone calls to receive our luggage. However as we had an extreeme case of jet lag, this was not much of a problem. Next post, Malaysia Jai Maa Swami Vittalananda Saraswati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
