This is episode 1 of my new podcast for 2008 - Gramya-katha: "The Affairs of the Village". This will be a weekly 10 - 20 minute round up of the content of Planet ISKCON including comments threads, my take on anything that's been on there, plus what I've been up to.

Gramya-katha means "village talk", and Srila Prabhupada frequently used it in a negative sense to describe the b'aching that goes on in any society, and contrasted it with krishna-katha. However, in the transcendental sense gramya-katha and krishna-katha are the same thing - in Goloka Vrndavan Krishna is the talk of the town.

There is scope in any society for healthy discussion of the world we currently inhabit, in addition to eternal philosophical truths. There is nothing wrong with being a human being in addition to being a devotee - in fact you can't do one without the other!

Keep it real, and best wishes for 2008.
