Pune, December 1: Messenger at ease

HE GIVES Krishna devotees some great food for thought. A mechanical

engineer with a shaven head, he is fair-skinned and light-eyed, clad

in a saffron dhoti with an accordian around the chest and Bhagavad

Gita in hand. That's Sankirtan Das for you. A Swiss by origin and a

Krishna devotee. "Gita gave meaning and direction to my life when I

first read it in 1985. I love and live to share its wisdom with

whoever I can." he says. Sankirtan was in Pune where he distributed

the book on behalf of ISKCON Pune at a concessional price of Rs 120

(English) and Rs 70 and Rs 80 (Hindi and Marathi, respectively). Das

is based in Vrindavan from where he travels worlwide. Interestingly,

he also conducts Bhakti Shastri classes and courses on devotional

Vedic texts. So from India, he heads to South Africa to spread his

love and devotion for Lord Krishna.

 

Festive treat

PATANKAR Khauwale organised a competition of jewellery made out of

halwa, recently. It was held keeping in mind the importance of the

forthcoming festival of Sankraant. Winners of the competition were

awarded at a function held at Yashwantrao Chavan Natyagruha on

November 28, by actors Mrunal Kulkarni and Jayram Kulkarni.
