New Pictures and Mail

I've added a few new pictures of my Guru, Pramukh Swami Maharaj. I took these pictures on September 7th/8th, during the Chandra Grahan, or lunar eclipse that lasted from 11:30 PM to 1:30 AM. Eclipses are inauspicious occasions that are passed by spending that time in the worship of God, hence the late-evening session where I took these pictures. Pramukh Swami Maharaj, now 86, had just recently recovered from a bout with a cold and was his normal, joyous, smiling self again, much to the pleasure of all the devotees present.

Scroll down the page to the Flickr Box where My Latest Pictures are, or click here to see them in a new page. I apologize again for the tediously slow addition of photos to this page. That I can't bring my gadgets into Akshardham, and the ridiculously slow internet access here means that I can't put up pictures regularly. I'm sure this frustrates those of you who know what an insatiable shutterbug I am, but please bear with me. Once I begin travelling, you'll get more than you bargained for. Promise.

Also, for those of you that would like your own picture of Swaminarayan Akshardham, the bookstore has recently obtained postcards - beautiful ones - and I will send you a postcard if you will email me your address.
