Rising like a colossal finger of concrete, steel and glass out of the desert city of Dubai, this thing is truly MASSIVE! It already clocks in as the tallest building in the world, and it is not even finished. When it's complete it will be 800m high.

I left Melbourne just under a week ago, after a 2 year stay in the Melbourne Temple men's ashram. Currently I am in Brisbane, staying with Sita Pati, his wife Param Satya, and their son Prahlada.

Brisbane has a wonderful climate: fine one day, perfect the next. This is a nice change from Melbourne which is notoriously changeable in its weather patterns. Although it is mid winter, it is sunny and warm here on the deck of Sita Pati's house amidst a forest of Tulasi plants.

I gave the Krishna Fest presentation at Urban Yoga last night. It was an introductory style talk exploring some of the benefits of a meditation practice.

My presentation was around 25 minutes long, but the Q&A session extended for another 25 minutes.

Today I did the Strengths Finder 2.0 Test. To do this test you need to purchase the Strengths Finder book which gives you an access code to the online test. I found the test very accurate and it is helping me to determine my future focus in terms of study, career and service. I would recommend the test to anyone who wants to identify and hone their unique fields of strength for maximum effectiveness.

Last week I mentioned a serious car accident I had been involved in, in which I collided with a motorcyclist. It was a shocking experience to say the least. Here is an update on the outcomes:

(a lot of people are learning of the serious road accident I was involved in yesterday afternoon and are calling to question me about details and offer their support. I appreciate this show of care very much. For those who know me personally and may have heard rumours, here is the story...)

Today I discovered a great devotee resource:

http://www.vaisnavafamilyresources.org

This is a website dedicated to providing guidance and insight into achieving a healthy marriage and family situation, set up by a grass roots volunteer group of Krishna devotees who are mental health or educational professionals.

Today I read several articles including:

 As promised, here are the kirtans and bhajans I recorded in the Lotus Room at Govinda's during my recent trip to Sydney (to download, right click the individual tracks and 'save target as', or visit the upload site here at Internet Archives)
