Still homeless and back on the road
I am still homeless. For the past few weeks I have been living in my mother-in-law’s apartment, before she moves in. As yet, there is no kitchen, no furniture (except one small cupboard which I use as an altar for my Gaura Nitai deities) and no washing machine. I can still manage to cook with a small electric stove on the floor. I keep everything I own in boxes and bags, which makes it a bit difficult to find things when I need them. Having no washing machine is the worst – washing by hand is quite time-consuming and my hands are getting sore. My husband sometimes stays here and sometimes with his mother. I have no idea where or when I will move next. There is a basement room here which could be converted into living space. My mother–in-law will have to move in soon and I might have to go to the basement. Somehow I am still managing to continue my research work. I am learning some tolerance.
Today my husband and I go back on the road, first to Hungary and then to Serbia. Tomorrow is Janmastami (Krishna’s birthday) and we will be at the farm in Hungary where they have a beautiful Radha-Krishna temple. My spiritual master will be there too. Next week we will be in Serbia at the Fruska Gora National Park for the Vaisnava Camp with Sacinandana Swami. I won’t have much internet access for the next week or two so I might not be able to update my blog until I get back to Slovenia.
