I visited the city of Cebu, Philippines, for the first time and was looked after nicely by our devotees there.

Radha Vallabha who is one of the leaders arranged a harinama through a famous park where we had a wonderful walking and sit down kirtan, followed by sumptuous prasadam.

The next day, devotees went to an interfaith program attended by leaders of Catholic, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Indigenous faiths. I spoke and led kirtan and we provided delicious prasadam to all.

I had the opportunity to visit the Vraja Eco Village about one and a half hours outside of Manila. This project had been developed under the inspiration of his Holiness Giridhari Maharaja and his team of dedicated and talented devotees.

The property is about nine hectares in size and there are many guest houses, a school, restaurant, ashrama and other wonderful facilities. The temple is beautiful and artistically designed, landscaped with beautiful gardens and fountains.
