I'm late but good experience has to be shared

Last Saturday, I accompanied the 50 odd children of our foster care institute to Mayapur ISKCON temple. We made the trip in our school bus. Thus, it was a journey comfortable enough. I had been there about 25 years ago. Since then the holy place has been through a huge huge development. New buildings and temples have risen and the campus has expanded greatly. What impressed me most is that quite a good number of foreigners ( visible because of their fair skin, forgive me if it sounds rude). It's interesting to see them in traditional Indian attire, men in dhoti kurta , women in saree blouse, ghaghra choli) going about their jobs. Many of them are seen hiding their one hand in a small bag turning their rosary of 108 beads. We also found them singing kirtan . No doubt, with so many foreigner devotees joining funds are flowing and it is seen in the development work. Another good thing that impressed me was that though there was a huge crowd there the atmosphere was devotional. I didn't see anyone yelling at anyone or quarrelling with anyone.
