Three months into the rainy season, and the iMonk is still detained by the will of providence at the Math (monastery) in Calcutta, India, at the lotus feet of his gurudeva. Will he ever to return to California?

Week 1
India: West Bengal: Calcutta

Poor devotees
Srila Gurudeva visits the home of devotees who are so poor they can only offer him some toast... and then they run out of bread!

Week 2
India: West Bengal: Calcutta

Amazing grace
Who was that "thin lady, with a thin baby, eating a thin biscuit," who attracted the compassionate glance of Srila Gurudeva?

Week 3
India: West Bengal: Calcutta

Forgotten promises
How have we become such "slaves to circumstances," forgetting the solemn promise that we made to ourselves and to our guru?

Week 4+
India: West Bengal: Calcutta

Early memories
iMonk remembers his long relationship with Yudhamanyu.

Seva Vikram in China
Srila Gurudeva: Yudhamanyu's success in China "is a miracle!"

Unprecedented service
There is no precedent for Yudhamanyu's preaching in China.
