three-city lecture tour of the Ukraine to Zaporizhzhya, Kiev, and Odessa,
before returning to Russia and then to India.
February
After spending four months lecturing in twelve different cities in Russia and
the Ukraine, the iMonk returns to Calcutta, India, to spend some time with
his gurudeva, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Maharaj.
March
