Mayapur is the village which has been one of the most influential centres for the Vaishnavite tradition in Hinduism for more than 500 years. It is also the headquarters of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, more commonly known by the acronym ISKON. In this episode she talks about why she chose the spiritual life and what that decision has meant for her.  (Editors note: There is a slight echo in a small portion of this conversation due to the shaky internet and voice connection from the village of Mayapur.)
