new vrindaban east

I had never been to Rishikesh before so I was surprised that our hosted had arranged for us to stay at an ashram which was just across the street from a place called "New Vrindaban East". Every devotee in related to New V mentioned to me, "when you go to Rishikesh go see Bhakti Yoga Swami." I was filled with appreciation for our home in West Virginia because it is so glorious that someone would so kindly name their Indian temple after our American temple. This shows Srila Prabhupada's potency in establishing holy dhamas! HH Bhaktiyoga Swami nicely cared for us while we stayed near by. He fed us nicely and provided a nice place for us to chant and dance each morning. Madhuban ashrama and our ashram, Kailash ashram were our places of morning sadhana before we would depart on our treks around the city and beyond. The sun would come out around 11am so we would chant read wash clothes and have breakfast then hit the streets.
