FROM BB GOVINDA MAHARAJA IN DELHI: I have just spoken to BBC World who does a TV programme called Asia Today, which is beamed to 200 countries around the world. They are very interested in interviewing me about Kazakhstan.

BJP President Rajnath Singh told reporters in Delhi that he had sought immediate reaction from the Indian government and suggested that it take up this matter with the government of Kazakhstan to ensure reconstruction of the temple properties.

HH Indradyumna Swami arrives in Delhi on Sunday, and so there will be much kirtan news to share then. Later today devotees once more protest in front of the Kaz Embassy. As Govinda Maharaja reported on yesterdays podcast, yesterdays protest was organized by Hindu organizations, and todays is the devotees.sankirtan yajna ki jai!!!!

FROM THE UK: Prema Rasa prabhu (from the Soul Centre) took some photos at the London protest which he sent to the BBC website. They are now using those photos, and photos from Govinda Maharajas web link of the attacks, along with a audio interview with Prema Rasa about why we were protesting, for a BBC NEWS 24 TV program early next week.

The front page headline of this weeks Asian Voice newspaper (with colour photo of the protest) reads:

Hare Krishna Devotees Protest over Kazakh Temple Demolition

FROM KOLKATA: A 6000-strong contingent of protesters is taking to the streets today in a protest organized by Mayapur management. Bengalis are great and seasoned protesters! Management yesterday arranged a bus to transport devotees from Mayapur who wanted to participate, and arranged accommodation in the guesthouse. Those who couldnt take advantage of the bus and stay o/nite had taxis transport them this morning. Mayapur management is holding nothing back; theyre simply doing the needful and doing it with style. They have already offered several thousand dollars to Govinda Maharaja, and more is coming. They have also offered to fly in any Kaz devotees who wish to take shelter here, and house them. Actions befitting ISKCONs World Headquarters management
