Dnipro is one of the main cities in Ukraine. We arrived just in time for the local temples celebration of Nrsimha Caturdasi and next days Ratha Yatra. A thousand devotees attended both programs.There are over 10,000 devotees in Ukraine. It is a paradise for those sharing Krsna consciousness. And those fortunate to join are well taken care of.
For me, it’s almost 25 years since I left my childhood village.
Today’s video is back to my childhood village, see how it has changed over the past 25 years and also experience the real life in the Tibetan countryside.
Actually, my parents’ house had collapsed about ten years ago because none of us lived here and reparied the house. So I could only went back to my uncle’s house.
My uncle’s house remains almost the same as before. I even took a nap in my childhood bed.
Like all the other Tibetan stone houses, my uncle’s home consists of bedrooms, a typical Tibetan style dining room, a separate praying chapel, a storeroom, and a very Tibetan toilet (an open-air toilet).
Among these rooms, the praying chapel is the most special one in a Tibetan house. Every Tibetan home has a praying chapel, where the family can do their daily prayers in their free time.
Though there is a modern refrigerator, my uncle’s family still kept the original storeroom to keep air-dried yak meat and other items.
I was amazed to see that they still had their old habits, and it was gratifying to see some new changes, like the new TV and tap-water pipes, because my uncle and my nephews could enjoy better living conditions than I had back then.
Collecting yak dung, doing kora around the nearby ancient stupa, visiting the Jhoden Monastery in the village…these were all parts of my daily life since I lived with my uncle in this small Tibetan village.
I would like to share the memory of my hometown with all of you through this video. Hoping we could meet together in Tibet and let me take you to my lovely hometown.

Tashi Delek from the Guge Kingdom!
Today, I will show you an exploration trip to the lost kingdom in western Tibet.
The Guge Kingdom, one of the first important cultural relics sites under protection in Tibet, is a place full of stories and mysteries.
Even I am a Tibetan, every time I come here, I got a feeling of mystery.
The ancient Guge kingdom has so many mysteries and secrets. Can you imagine there used to be a kingdom with over 100,000 citizens in such a wild area? Even now, people have no idea how this beautiful kingdom was destroyed in one night. No one knows what happened here.
Where do these tunnels lead? Where are the secret ways of the winter palace?
With many questions, I explored the ruins of Guge kingdom in my way. I crossed the tunnels in the ruins, which were believed to reach the hidden city of Shambala. I climbed to the winter palace at the top of the ruins, exploring the rooms, but found nothing.
Just like playing a treasure hunt game, I was always able to find some connection to my Tibetan ancestors.
Also, the Ruins of Guge Kingdom is an awesome place for photographers to take pictures. From the top of the kingdom ruins, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Guge valley.
The Tholing Monastery, which is 18 kilometers away from the ruin of Guge Kingdom, is also worth a visit since it is the first monastery in west Tibet. Although it has been destroyed many times in the past, you can still see many ancient stupas, statures, morals, and so on in this old monastery.
I really recommended the ruins of the Guge Kingdom for you, which you can add to your Kailash tour.
In the end, I would like to share some tips for your trip to the Guge Kingdom.
1. Please wear a pair of comfortable hiking shoes, as you will need to climb to the top of the ruins.
2. The ruins of the Guge kingdom are heavily weathered and not very stable and fixed in some places. Please be careful not to get too close to dangerous areas such as the outer walls near the cliffs.
3. The steps inside the ruins are very steep, so please watch your step.
4. If you are interested in Tibetan history, you can learn more about the legends of the Guge Kingdom before you go. It will be more interesting to bring your own questions to find your answers about the lost kingdom.

Gentle, green meadows, rugged rock faces, mysterious lakes, dense forests, tall mountains, low-lying river deltas, quietly meandering mountain streams and smack dab in the middle, a unique fauna — THIS is Switzerland! We trace the elementary power of nature and present animals and plants in landscapes that have hardly ever been touched by mankind. Switzerland is an alpine country, but it is also Europes surge tank. Rivers such as the Rhine and the Rhone have their sources here. Glaciers, crevasses, icy cold caves and the underwater dome of the Verzasca are the unusual settings we chose for this film. We meet with rare, selected animal species and present their behavioural patterns, such as the Swiss or Arven jay, the lynx and albino catfish. Cold, wind, snow and extreme locations demand adaptation that make us marvel.

Monsoon India s god of life is a fascinating chronicle of how the wild animals of India cope with the hardship of summer and how the arrival of the monsoon transforms their lives and the land they live in. The monsoon is a great benefactor that replenishes water and rejuvenates the land. But sometimes it can also overwhelm with its abundance, unleashing floods that cause death and destruction. In India s far north east, the rare great Indian rhinoceros lives on a flood plain that swings between the extremes of too little water… and too much. Lying to the south of the great Brahmaputra river, the rhino s home is literally reshaped by the force of every monsoon. As the summer advances, and the waterholes shrink, the normally solitary rhinos are forced together into tiny wallows to escape the heat. The days drag on with little respite and tempers flare as the great beasts jostle for space. When the summer monsoon finally arrives after weeks of anticipation, it makes its first landfall not in the north east, but at the tip of southern India. In the fire-ravaged forests of south India elephants squeal and trumpet when the first thunder showers pelt down. As the waves of dark cloud sweep further inland, they release most of their load over the rainforest-covered slopes of the Western Ghats mountains, drenching the forest floor and awakening all manner of life. Travancore tortoises emerge from hiding and the males battle it out for mating rights. Brightly coloured giant centipedes prowl the forest floor in search of food, and up in the canopy lion-tailed macaques enjoy the special fruits of the monsoon. On the misty, windswept mountain tops, the Nilgiri tahr, a species of rare wild goat, prepare for their annual rut. When the females come into heat they are chased relentlessly by the males, until the last female in the herd has mated. The monsoon does not arrive everywhere in India at once. While the monsoon rains lash south-west India, north India continues to reel under a heat wave. Temperatures in Rajasthan soar above 120 F. The heat drives the animals to rapidly shrinking water holes. Rhesus macaques dive headlong into the water and tigers soak in forest pools. But not everyone can afford to play or relax. Despite the crippling heat a tigress with two large cubs is constantly on the hunt for food. The dry, open forest makes concealment difficult and stalking almost impossible, but along the shores of an enchanting lake, where prey animals gather to feed and drink, there is plenty of food to be had. The tigress must use all her cunning if her cubs are to survive. Distant thunder and a smell of rain drives courting peacocks into a frenzy, and under cover of darkness, the monsoon arrives in Rajasthan. Deep underground, a large female python sits tightly coiled around her clutch of eggs. She laid them sixty days ago to hatch with the monsoon. Now, with the arrival of the rains, her young will have no trouble fending for themselves.

It is said that Lord Caitanya’s secret weapon is prasadam, or vegetarian food offered to the Supreme Lord. It’s no longer a secret in Poland, however, as we distributed 160,000 plates of prasadam in Krsna’s Village of Peace at the recent Woodstock festival, now known as the Pol’and’Rock festival. We cooked, offered and distributed 160,000 full plates of prasadam in 5 days to the people attending the event. We prepared over 50 tons of foodstuffs! Two hundred devotees worked in shifts around the clock in 7 different large kitchens. Prasadam is tasty, nourishing and purifying. Our hearts were completely satisfied introducing the wonderful world of Krsna consciousness to the people in this way.
Yesterday our parikrama party visited the temple of Madan Mohan. The beautiful and ornate structure was he first temple to be constructed in Vrindavan. The temple is situated on a small hill overlooking the Yamuna river and surrounding plains. It was the perfect atmosphere for Krsna katha and the sweet singing of the Lords holy names. We also visited the sacred samadhi of Srila Sanatan Goswami, where we dove deeper into the mysteries of this transcendental land of Sri Vrindavan dhama.
