#101 - The Boston Temple, Srila Prabhupada, and Coming Full Circle

Haribol, namaste, sweet souls. Today Juicy MagiK is on the go in Boston, standing beside a momentous monument connected with Srila Prabhupada's arrival at Boston Harbor in September 1965. We had previously visited the other part of this story in Kolkata, at the temple where Srila Prabhupada set off on the Jaladuta, so being here feels like a beautiful closing circle.

We reflect on the living current of Krishna consciousness, a movement that carries ancient wisdom into the present day through simple hearing, repeating God's names, remembering, and devotional service. No hard and fast rules, no narrow doorway. All are welcome.

We also imagine Srila Prabhupada and Jadurani Dasi (Syamarani Didi) walking these Boston streets, remembering the devotees, the paintings, the service, and the long line of spiritual teachers that carries the teachings forward like a strong umbrella, keeping out the rain.

And then, a lovely darshan, prasadam, and the kindness of a devotee who welcomed us with such warmth. Sometimes pilgrimage is a monument, sometimes it's a memory, sometimes it's an older lady with a beautiful heart who feeds you and sends you on your way with blessings.

Come walk with us, remember with us, chant with us, and be happy.
