Timeline of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami's Life - 2001-2010
2007 October 14 - A Travelling Preacher's Diary. South America Tour. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
20071014 South America Tour
I am touring South America now. We had a national festival in Santiago, Chile. Then I went to Natal in the NE off Brazil for another festival with some hundreds of devotees. It is tropical there. Coconut trees everywhere. Beautiful beaches, but no time to swim. Then I went to Rio de Janeiro for Ratha-yātrā festival on the Ipanema Beach front. It was a beautiful Ratha-yātrā. I chanted for over an hour. I took prasāda with five godbrothers/sisters. Then in the evening I showed a multimedia show. After which one devotee got 2nd initiation.
Your well-wisher always,
Jayapatākā Swami
