Gawd! I almost fainted upon seeing a new post.

He put the dog in the trunk? Isn't that abuse?

I would think that a dog that follows you around is very much someone's home pet who is lost or abandoned, looking for companionship or at least food. Feral dogs will stay away from people they does not know, even many pets, so I would think it would of been very safe to put the lost guy in the back seat of the car instead of the trunk. Being put in a trunk in total darkness with movement in all directions and strange loud sounds would be a huge stressor for the dog, yet, now that he is with a rescue group, will find a new home eventually, so he's in good hands and most likely has seen the last of a car trunk. Based on experience, I don't think Rama Raya has had much contact with dogs for many a decade ... if ever, whereas Sats is a kitty type of guy.

Remember what it was like to be a young devotee?

I remember falling asleep in front of Prabhupada. The temple commander kindly asked me to take a nap before the next lecture.

We had one smarty pants temple commander who would sit in back of the class with a squirt gun pistol and blast the back of any head nodding, ... I think he enjoyed his job like a sniper, ... we eventually snuck into his room and buried the watery weapon. Then he used rubber bands, until one missed and hit the vyasasana with the TP in it, ... busted, then we all went back to nodding out in peace.

Rubber bands, indeed. The sad reality is that sleep deprivation in the name of becoming brahminical caused a spate of terrible vehicle accidents. I myself remember falling asleep at the wheel on my pre-dawn run to the San Francisco markets. How I avoided becoming one of the grim statistics is a mystery to me.

I rode in the car trunk once, together with one or two other brahmacarinis (it was a relatively large trunk). We were folded like Swiss knives. It wasn't that bad. It was for Krishna.

It was a day or two before Gauranga Bhajan Band was supposed to descend on our town. We had an advertising campaign, and the last leg of it was putting up posters in the city's streetcars. One day around midnight we piled into the temple car, one devotee at the wheel, two others lying flat inside the car so it would look like only one person was there, and us girls in the trunk. I don't remember what trick the driver used to be let into the open-air depot where the trams were kept for the night. We got out, put up as many posters as we could, and went back. We calculated it would take a day before these were taken down.

Whoa, indeed getting between 4 to 6 hours of sleep for a long period of time take a toll on a person's awareness and mobility. For around 2 years I had an old camper trailer that I used as an art/ design studio on the temple grounds. The great part about that was that I could lock the door and get a nap in whenever I felt overwhelmed with tiredness, though I can remember so many bouts of getting up to stand and shake my myself awake during morning classes. If your main service was driving for some reason, then danger did exist in the odds of one making a traffic mistake. You were meant to go to Australia and have those wonderful kids I imagine.

Amazing story... they type one hears only from folks who lived in temples or war zones! This sound very much what graffiti taggers do in the late night hours, driving around the city in cars or vans as incognito as possible, looking for walls suitable for their stencils and spray paint cans ... racing out while someone is on guard, making their marks and getting back into the vehicle to find another place to express themselves. I take it you are not that claustrophobic, for many people would not like being so tightly confined, and then on the other hand, you have the street cred experience to be a graffiti artist now.

Tagging the the Royal Palace in Stockholm is pretty gutsy though,
so looks like the Gauranga Bhajan Band Poster experience paid off!
