This chakra installation ceremony on February 7th was the main motivator for me coming to India.
Please check out the VERY AWESOME video footage here;
Prasadam food hall
These are the biggest eateries I have ever been to...
Food is great, prasadam means its offered to the Lord before its served to people, and it's all vegetarian.
But...sitting cross legged and eating only with hands is not easy
This is the biggest chakra in the world
But...there are probably like a dozen total anyway right?
Japa
108 beads = 1 round
16 rounds per day...
Hands up!
The statues up there are of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the most recent incarnation of the Lord, just 500 years ago.
He would chant the names of the lord constantly, full of ecstasy, his arms would be raised all the time, in transcendental bliss. Sometimes ya just gotta surrender --- even if you are the Lord Himself thinking of Himself...
Howabout that huge bee nest in the middle of the picture eh?
This food hall is the cheapest one on campus, at 30 rupees per meal, about $0.45. So, I'm probably the only white guy here. All you can eat! So long as you don't spill all over your pants, as I often do, as I am still learning how to eat food Indian style
TOVP - Temple of the Vedic Planetarium
Will probably be India's (and the world's) biggest temple when it is completed in 2022.
But personally, I doubt they will surpass the magnificence of the Great Pyramid of Giza or Angkor Wat. Modern people don't really get it.
