At last weekends couple's retreat in South Africa my wife and I gave couples different tools to help their marriages, and also different ways of thinking about themselves and their problems. One of my topics was family or couple's prayer. The subject of prayers groups I feel "passionately" about—i.e, strongly, intensely--since I have first hand experience of its power. Here is one way to think about prayer which might help you see it differently.

Some complain
about getting along
with others
who cause them
many problems—
ah, if they
could only be alone
they could experience
some peace and quite—
but really we are all
relational creatures
as is all existence,
conscious or inert
if we really study
the universe:
Everything has
its component parts
from solar systems and planets

Last Thursday I hosted about 10 students from TCU who were taking a course by the name of “The Many Faces of Krishna” Long time friend and colleague of His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami, Professor Andy Ford, called up several weeks ago to set up his yearly college field trip to the temple.

We had a wonderful time at Ratha Yatra today. We arrived at the temple in morning to the scene of the Dallas flock chowing down very delicious kitcheri. I think about 35 of us from Dallas actually made our way down to New Orleans. Shortly after arriving I learning that not only would I be blessed to dance for Lord Jagannatha Baladeva and Subhadra but also I would be their driver to and from the festival.
The kirtans were great and many people who were...
Attracted by the Mayapurian hospitality of the New Orleans devotees, hundreds of devotees of various towns today have taken their journey to the Bayou. Several months ago I was given an invitation to attend.

After a pleasant 9 hour drive to the...

Take a...
