FRIDAY 29TH NOVEMBER
In a popular British TV talk show that Srila Prabhupada was invited to, when asked by the interviewer, "Do you have a concept of hell in your religion?", Srila Prabhupada replied "London is hell." His response became a newspaper headline the next day. But by Srila Prabhupada’s mercy, he then turned London into a spiritual abode by installing Their Most Beautiful Lordships, Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara, who he said are Radha and Krishna Themselves who have appeared in London.
Our London temple provides many opportunities for rendering service to the Divine Couple, Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara. On this day, meditate on the beautiful forms of Their Lordships and experience how if our minds are simply focused on Them and Their service, then we are in Vrindavana, wherever we may be physically situated.
