We started out just above Rati & Dwija's place.
|
Over the ridge...
|
And down it, across what was called Mahavana.
|
To the Peter Crow Cemetery.
|
Here lies Peter Crow.
|
And Sarah, three years old.
|
Peter's Wife.
|
More pics.
|
|
This one didn't even have a name.
|
The newest grave we could find, 1914.
|
Here is where my camera lense cover did a bit of sticking.
|
Ghosh read a grave. You can't see it, but it's there.
|
Ghosh's house.
|
Cows. 37 or 38 of them. And a donkey.
|
There's the donkey.
|
Ghosh and Soma counting cows.
|
I'm really bummed that this didn't come out. It's looking upon Govindaji Hill, where, around 1975, NV was going to build the Govindaji Temple. A cornerstone was laid, but no temple was ever built.
|
Bhahulavana. I'm not sure on the spelling.
|
Going up Govindaji Hill.
|
I REALLY wish this one would have worked.
|
But this one did, so no problem.
|
Govindaji Temple grounds.
|
Bits of New Vrndavana.
|
It looks like ancient Roman ruins. But it's not. It's only about 30 years old. If that.
|
Govindaji Temple grounds.
|
This is the plateau where the temple would have stood.
|
And this is looking upon where Srila Prabhupada gave his Bhagavat Dharma lectures.
|
This is a pole near the Govindaji Temple. Why? I don't know.
|
The other side of Govindaji Hill.
|
Going down Govindaji.
|
Outhouse?
|
Sure is! That's right, you poop into buckets!
|
This isn't really how composting toilets work.
|
I was going to have a seat, but this little feller made me think twice.
|
The pump house.
|
Pump.
|
Sky Bear's old trailer.
|
Probably not so safe.
|
The trailer with Govindaji Hill behind it.
|
The dirt road up to where Srila Prabhupada gave his lectures.
|
Almost there.
|
Old Rainbow Gathering bus.
|
i'm a dork .
|
Oops!
|
From what Soma said, Srila Prabhupada actually sat around where the bus was parking. It's only a matter of several yards, but it's good to know.
|
Want to see inside the bus?
|
Hippies.
|
HIPPIES!
|
Neat bus though.
|
Most of the writing in the bus was lame ass hippie writing. Except this.
|
Drive, Sally, drive!
|
No Good. Haha!
|
Hippies.
|
You can see how close the bus is to the Srila Prabhupada monument.
|
The road going up to the bus and down to Bhahulavana.
|
Down to Bhahulavana.
|
The copse of trees where Srila Prabhupada gave the Bhagavat Dharma discourses.
|
Looking down towards Bahulavana.
|
Looking inside some cabin.
|
Another cabin. I don't know what these were used for.
|
Little cabin. Someone lives there.
|
The front of another cabin.
|
The barn.
|
Mew!
|
Another kitteh.
|
Was this the ashrama? I can never ever remember.
|
This was the guest house. It burned down a bit.
|
The farm house.
|
The stairs leading up to the missing third floor of the guest house.
|
Bhaktipada's cabin.
|
I'm glad they did these.
|
Hrsikesha would know what this is. Why it's here, I have no idea.
|
Lil' Judy. She still lives around here. Next to Ghosh.
|
Inside the farm house at Bahulavana.
|
Saw this and ...
|
saw this...
|
And thought this.
|
And this.
|
Careful where you step.
|
Fire?
|
The temple room at Bahulavana.
|
Temple room.
|
into the pujari room, I think.
|
Temple room.
|
Outside the temple room. It looks like an old church.
|
Temple room/farm house and the burned down guest house.
|
Looking the other way towards where Maru's metal shop (and a bunch of other stuff) is.
|
Stuff, I don't konw.
|
Old gas pump.
|
Back up towards the temple.
|
JAYA!!
|
Bhaktipada's cabin.
|
Farm house.
|
I think this was the kitchen.
|
What?
|
Hm?
|
It's a thing for phones. It connected all the phones in Bahulavana.
|
Hahahahahaha.
|
Nay!
|
Kitchen.
|
Utility building. I think this was where the ashrams were as well. The mold shop was downstairs.
|
Barn.
|
Back to Rati & Dwija's.
|
Let's go to the palace of gold!
|
One last look.
|
The other side of the road.
|
I made one big loop.These are the cows.
