Dear Sunirmalananda
Thanks for your appreciative words!
Yes, most of the photos were taken by Prabeer Mukherjee, the Secretary of Ramakrishna Vedanta Association of Thailand. He and his wife Mondira were a great support for our preaching work. I found a team of mixed young and elder group of devotees helped all along.
May Master bless you!

The devotees arranged nice programmes at Bangkok.
Slideshow denotes how all enjoined your visit.
On YouTube, the programmes could be understood more clearly.
If the lectures of Swamiji would have been presented on YouTube or audio clip, It would have been fruitful for we devotees. In fact, this should be a must.
Thanks Maharajji for your efforts of digital spiritual communication wonderful presentation!
Jai Thakur!

Dear Arun
Thanks for your visit to my Blog and comment!
Your kind suggestion is noted. Perhaps the devotees may arrange for live video recording and then could upload to YouTube etc. But all my Talks are audio recorded. Slowly when they get uploaded to a suitable site, one may listen to them at one’s convenience!
May Master bless you!

Dear Hiru babu
Thanks for visiting this Blog!
The schedule appears at first sight as busy indeed! But then I went to Bangkok only for participating in all those programmes, isn’t it?
I must state and appreciate that the devotee-couple Prabeer and Mondira saw also to my rest in between. Mondira even once cautioned some devotees who were chatting with me longer after a long programme, reminding them that I need a little rest before the start of another programme!
So overall it was simply relaxing – joyfully I met many new devotees and conversed with them, counselled them, listened to their problems and ate well too!
I do not claim any credit if my visit has produced any positive result. It’s all His grace that has worked.
Thanks for your concern!

Dear Niriksha
Yes, the devotees in Bangkok were nice people…when I asked for the photos, Mondira replied that she would surprise me with a slideshow! Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise!
I found in the devotees a thirst for knowledge. I also shared with them certain anecdotes that added their desire for bhakti too.
In SE Asia, places like Yangon, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Manila and Jakarta and Bali where groups of Ramakrishna devotees are present, can be reached within 3 to 4 hours by flight. Hence, expectation is high!
May Master bless you!

Aum Maharaj.
It is humbling to think that Master’s family is so wide, and it is heartening that such devotion and seeking of spirituality is also present in SE Asia!
Those devotees definitively remind us not to take our spirituality for granted, and how we must take Every opportunity to learn from our gurus….especially as we are spoilt in SA with the proximity to the ashramas.
May Master bless you always and pray that your work there progresses always.
With love and pranam,

Dear Nirmala
Glad you liked the blog post on my Bangkok visit!
Considering the list of items of this pre-drawn programme, the answer to your query is anybody’s guess! However, I must acknowledge that Prabeer-Mondira duo saw to it that I take enough rest, rejuvenated for the next item!
May the blessings of Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna be on every member of your family is my earnest prayer!

Loving Pranam!
We hope Maharaj is well and is taking care of his health.
One can only imagine the joy of the devotees abroad by being in Maharaj‘s holy company. Our minds would be uplifted for days after spending a few hours with Maharaj.
We devotees in PMB experienced utter peace and joy with Maharaj. We felt that we were getting closer to Thakur after every Gospel Class.
The chapter that Maharaj read and explained was so real that we felt we were in that era! We cannot thank Maharaj enough for uplifting our lives.
We really miss being in Revered Maharaj‘s holy company.
We pray and hope that Maharaj returns someday to SA.
Om Namo Narayanaya!

Dear Omilla
Perhaps I don’t deserve such kind words! Yet I must thank you for speaking sweet words!
Yes, I used to look forward to the Gospel class. In SA, simultaneously from three places I had the opportunity to conduct the Gospel class. I had experienced the grace of our Master who supplied such wonderful ideas for providing explanations. One Chatsworth devotee who sometimes attended all the three classes where the same portion from the book was dealt with, found it anew every time.
I think the class becomes interesting if the listeners get involved. Your enthusiasm as listeners is also a contributing factor for the class becoming enlivened! So ultimately thanks go to you all only!
May your love for Master multiply is my prayer!
