On the other side of the square, Buddhist monks sat to watch the Harinam, a few took flyers and gave donations!

Later that day it started raining and we took refuge under a shelter by local shops, which were closed due to a complete strike.

But neither rain nor strike affected the people's cordiality and we made several new friends.

The service mood of these three was so strong that they spontaneously distributed our Math's leaflets to everyone who passed by.

Taking shelter from the rain in the main square, some photographers were happy to be joined by our Harinam party. They danced for almost an hour.

The next day, the police provided stranded visitors a means of leaving Darjeeling.

Peace and serenity offered by the green hills made up for the cramped condition on the buses.

From a distance, Darjeeling beckons us to return at some future date and again spread the joy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's wonderful mission.
