Summary

Raghu's "secret sadhana" / seeing the ornate, devotional, beauty of Bhakti in "bombed out" Vrindavan / the authentic Bengali Bhakti experience / knowledge of self-realization, devoid of the Divine personal love, has no beauty / winding up at Prabhupada's feet / sometimes the world will put us through a crazy mind game / conflict is eating us up / lack of faith in the greater plan / Krishna works through His energies / sidestepping the hurricane of hate / Mohini Murti bewilders the demons
