Goura Gopal Introduction

Harry Fishner, I hope everyone's enjoying the show, the Al-Soviet campaign here in Australia. The first part of this tape deals with the travelling temple, news footage, goes on and shows a tape of the fight we're having with the city council, which is still continuing. And it goes on to various songs, Pallada's Son, showing footage of devotees, Martin Luther King, everything that's inspired this whole campaign, we're actually putting in this three hour tape.

And I hope everyone can appreciate the endeavour the devotees here in Australia are doing. We'd like to thank Kini Raj Prabhu and Dormi Kesh Prabhu for their inspiration. Without their inspiration we wouldn't have been able to continue on because we feel that their dedicated efforts in helping the Soviet devotees is what's encouraged this whole international campaign. As far as our campaign is concerned, it really got off to a start when the travelling temple established itself in April 1987.

The Krishna Kids episode of our campaign was during a very hectic time within the Krishna movement and there is a book being written called Peristoka through the eyes of a child, which talks about the attitude and the expressions. And the feelings the children went through and what I also went through during that time.

The next part of this tape continues on, showing more footage of the travelling temple and more footage of Pallada and the Krishna Kids, which captured the media in Australia on a level never ever experienced by the Hare Krishna movement and created enormous interest by the public. So therefore we'd like everyone to sit back and enjoy the remainder of this tape. In these two years it's been probably the most ecstatic times a lot of us devotees have ever experienced, but also a lot of trials and tribulations.

And just as Queen Kunti prayed similarly we pray that somehow or other we can always remember the lotus feet of our spiritual master, Shrila Parulvar. So please sit back and sleep for yourself what we've been through over the last two years.
