Diary of a Travelling Preacher.

Indradyumna Maharaja with his Siberian gipsy friends.

While Indradyumna Maharaja is in the country, seems a good time to mention his remarkable books. For many years Maharaja has kept a diary of his travels to all corners of the world, in his line of duty. He now publishes them regularly in separate volumes. These books tell of fascinating adventures from midwinter in deepest Siberia, to Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the devastating tsunami and again to exuberant chanting sessions with African village children. Maharaja describes his encounters with people he meets on his way, with thoughtful reflections on humanity, and an underlying grave compassion. His writing is well-paced and readable - and the Royal Scribe highly recommends them.

Indradyumna Maharaja's books are available at these two sites:
