Sunday 17th Sept. Hare Krishna Bus to Mayapur day trip
26 people went to Mayapur as a few of the exchange students at IIM Joka joined the group organised by Siddiqui and Nitish. There was a bus and sumo leaving 6 am for Mayapur Everyone met at 5:45am at 3/c Albert Road Kolkata in front of the ISkCon temple near Minto park.
En route there was a stop at a temple and breakfast. From what I learn there were lots of temple visits and prasad. There waas an English speaking guide who explained the Hare Krishna philosophy and the museum vist and Arti at noon. The lunch was a vegetarian feast of pulao, daal rice, alu gobi ka salan, mixed veg pakoras, paneer, alu, chana dal, and as everyone had to sit crosslegged on the floor and eat off the banana leaves it must have been great fun.
There was a room allotted where the hashers rested before and after lunch. The more enterprising went on a boat cruise and even saw dolphins.
By 4 p.m. the bus had left and reached back towards Park circus by 8p.m. and Camac street by 9.
