Today we spent an afternoon at Bhaktivedanta Ashram, donated to ISKON (Krishna Consciousness) by George Harrison in 1973.

Harrison’s 1970 triple album ‘All things must pass’ with its hit single ‘My sweet Lord’ remains a favourite and shows clearly the ex-Beatles’ path to a new spiritual world. We also have been visitors to the Italian Hare Krishna centre at Villa Vrinidavan beautifully situated in a renaissance villa near Florence and about which we have written a post at https://longoio3.com/2020/11/02/villa-vrindavana/

At Bhaktivedanta manor we participated in a Shraddha puja celebrated to express love and gratitude to departed family members.

We enjoyed our delicious prasad.

We walked in the manor’s lovely gardens dedicated to George Harrison.

and visited some very happy cows on the Hare Krishna farm, one of which was being milked by hand (as they all are).

There are precious places which resonate in our hearts and minds. This is a special one for us.
