Mandakini devi dasi: Harinama and his wife, Laksmi Priya devi dasi, with their three children – Caitanya five years, Nityananda four years and Bhakti aged one – recently moved onto New Govardhana Farm, Australia. The Perth couple had visited the farm several times and was keen to provide their children with a Krishna conscious education. At present the couple are busily engaged in renovating the Lily Pond house and cultivating the surrounding land. Harinama took to spiritual life 20 years ago soon after he graduated with a Diploma of Art from the Perth School of Fine Art. Inspired to paint wall murals at the farm, he has to date completed an impressive Krishna lifting Govardhana Hill at Carpark 1. Another work is in progress on the wall as you walk up to the temple from Carpark 1. This shows the scene from Srimad-Bhagavatam of Sukadeva Gosvami preaching to Maharaja Pariksit and the sages. With wall art being much in vogue, Harinama is hoping to continue the trend by painting several more murals.
