An Authentic Life 1.1 for pdf - Universalist Radha-Krishnaism

in Bangkok, I found out why it's called Bh-bhangkok
… You know I meet a lot of women here and some of
them pay to take me out."
Bali Mardan Maharaja, former GBC and president
of the New York temple, and his wife Taitareya,
supposed daughter of Toyota, also hustled jewelry.
Govinda Dasi, who was just on the Big Island
with Bharadraj, visited the Honolulu temple and recorded
interviews of me to get material for Satsvarup
Maharaj's biography of Prabhupad. Although having
frail health, she’s an attractive woman, and I enjoyed
her association. We both joined the movement in February
of 1967 and lived together with Prabhupad and
Gaursundar, her former husband, in L.A. 1968. She
had a bad reputation for her "loose habits," breaking
the rules and regulations, but she was one of the
purer devotees I knew.
The devotee I met in Boston and traveled with
before returning to India, tended the gardens of the
estate I got donated in 1974. But I couldn't stay. A
number of devotees knew me from the old days. It
was good to see them again.
There were also a number of gays who went to
bars and used drugs, as I heard on the Big Island. The
temple president planed to buy a sail boat to go
around the islands evangelizing with a party of devotees.
I celebrated Krishna and Prabhupad's appearance
days and enjoyed Hawaii while I could. West
Virginia would be cool in early September.
