A slow, sunny sit-down at Teotihuacan, with ancient flute echoes, jaguar calls, and a simple Gauranga breath-chant to soften the heart. Sitting at the base of the temple of the moon, we share a gentle practice, talk about how no moment ever repeats, laugh about allergies and street dogs and the return of Kiki the cat, and feel our empty Ekadasi stomachs as a quiet teacher of gratitude. Come breathe, chant, and wander with us as Juicy MagiK drifts through Mexico toward Palenque, the coast, and beyond.

Ancient flutes in the air, soft grass under us, Aztec stones at our backs, and a simple heart chant together in the Avenue of the Dead. Join Madhumangala Dasa and Srimati Dasi (Mark and Maria) and our dear friend Caro in Teotihuacan for a very gentle Gauranga breathing practice, some jaguar sounds, a little laughter, and a soft reminder to enjoy the moment you are in right now, just as it is. We are sharing how this wandering, juicy little pilgrimage turned into a daily relationship with sacred names, teachers, and friends. We talk about receiving new names from our guru, what it feels like to finally have a “supreme female friend” to serve, why Harinam Sankirtan is like a Vedic “Hallelujah,” and how daily prayers with you all became a simple way to pause, breathe, and remember who we are. There is Mexico sun, goofy jokes, Caro behind the camera, and a lot of gratitude for the kindness we keep meeting on the road. We chant, we talk about gratitude, fasting, allergies, dogs, Kiki the cat, and where this wandering Juicy MagiK caravan is heading next in Mexico and Central America.

Street noise, burnt-out buildings painted in wild colors, humid Miami air, then one deep breath and a soft Gauranga on the lips. This short bhakti check-in lands from the Design District in Miami, day 9 of our nine days of pilgrimage in Miami, as we gear up for 11 weeks on the road through Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Come sit with us for a moment, breathe, chant, and remember that real meditation can happen anywhere, anytime, anyhow, even in the middle of traffic.

Mark and Maria, Juicy MagiK under the old maple trees by St. Louis Church in Buffalo, sorting through the sweetness and struggles of daily spiritual life, sharing quiet joy, simple living, and a soft turn toward vanaprastha. Buffalo’s oldest Catholic church at our backs, prayer beads in hand, we talk sadhana-bhakti, offer gratitude to our teachers, and invite you to breathe and chant along. This one includes a gentle Gauranga practice you can join in real time.

Come sit with us, if you’re looking for warmth, slow moments, or just some chanting in the grass while the world hums by, you’ll feel right at home with us. Blessings, peace, and a few ants included.

River feet, open heart, simple life. Mark shares a love note to water, then points past it to the living spark inside every being, the real treasure. He emphasizes the sacredness of life and water, connecting these elements to the Supreme Being and the eternal life force present in all living entities. Also he invites everybody to simplify their lives and reconnect with nature, underscoring that true happiness and spiritual growth come from inner purification and surrender to the Divine rather than from material pursuits or ego-driven desires.

Through a guided Gauranga mantra meditation, Mark demonstrates how sacred sound vibrations can cleanse the heart’s mirror, elevate consciousness, and foster peace amidst the noise and distractions of the material world. Interfaith Bhakti, a few family smiles, and a clear, gentle practice you can try now: Gauranga breathing and mantra. Come chant, soften the noise, and let the heart get clean and bright.

Salt water, sun on skin, and a handmade soak in a tiny volcanic tide pool on the coast south of Bari. Mark soaks, tidies up the pool, scrubs with pumice, tells stories, and shares a patchwork of small gratitude—from cleaning out volcanic rock pools and finding crab friends to reflecting on simple living and the sweetness of being in the moment. Listening to birds and crabs while packing for the ferry to Greece.

Simple living shows up as service, clean water, reading scripture, Transcendental Meditation, and soft chants that carry the heart. We talk satvic food, kind cows, and how grace lifts us like a friend who reaches into the ocean and pulls us to shore. Travel light, love big, leave places better, and chant the sweet names in any tongue.

Here’s a piece of road-worn joy, dusted off and shared, with all the quirky warmth and humility you might expect from friends who never quite stay in one place. Peace be with you and upon you.

A handheld love note from Urbino, Italy. We stumbled into the Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, slept under quiet skies, and met Pino, the kind caretaker who opened the doors and our hearts. Simple day, big grace. Stone, light, and a long walkway with flowers. Space to breathe, chant, smile. May this little visit nudge you toward your own pilgrimage, inside first, then out to the places soaked with prayer.

Remember that every physical pilgrimage points us back to the quiet center in our hearts. If you’re after a bit of calm, a glimpse of honest devotion, or maybe just want some easy company, we’re grateful to have you with us—wherever you’re tuning in from.

Haribol from a windy green field in Ravenna, Italy, with five very serious cow statues, ancient mosaics nearby, and a soft call to peace. We share a quick hello, a bit of history, a gentle reminder about not mistaking the body for the self, and a simple practice to steady the heart. Chant along, breathe easy, and walk with us as we keep it light, keep it loving, and keep moving toward San Marino. Travel notes, future stops, and a small wish for your day, that you catch a thread of joy in the sacred sound.

Thanks for being here with us. Come along for the journey, wherever it turns next—open hearts and open roads ahead.

Roadside kirtan under a waxing moon, a warm stop just past Udine, Italy. We share a simple offering from the meadow, a few blades of grass, then slip into call-and-response with maria behind the camera, soft dusk, birdsong, and a little laughter. Bhagavad Gita in the heart, Nrsimha on our lips, names of God rolling like the highway. If you need peace after a long day, sing with us.

Chant where you are, with whoever is near, and let the sound carry you home.

A soft Mother’s Day offering from Vienna, Austria with Mama Maria, a German chorus, candles, fruit, and a loving nod to Jesus and the Holy Name.

Filmed in Wien, this Juicy MagiK on the Daily gathers three voices on one couch, guitar in hand, hearts steady. Mother’s Day energy, sparklers in memory, a small altar set with a candle, fruit, and a sweet picture of Lord Jesus Christ, then lift our voices in German. We sing, we listen, we sing again. Shravanam, kirtanam, smaranam.

Song chorus in Deutsch:

Alles was ich habe, alles was ich bin, alles, mein lieber Gott, leg ich vor dich hin.

English:

Everything I have and everything I am, my dear Lord, I lay before You.

Offered with simple devotion, like a child’s mud pie that is received because it comes with love. Interfaith, bhakti friendly, open to all. Recorded on the road as we pack the Juicy MagiK Mobile and head toward Italy. Peace to you, and upon you. Der Friede sei mit dir.
