 I have been GBC or co-GBC in the following areas for many years:
Southern Africa
Mauritius

The Baltic states: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia.

Parts of Russia: NW Russia, Siberia

Of course the Russian part of my zone is very difficult for me to do much about now, because of the war. I have not been there since early 2020, and will not be going there until the government changes. 

Govardhan prabhu has taken over from me in southern Africa, and is doing a wonderful job. I don’t know who would take over the Baltic area, but the Russian National Council is overseeing my parts of Russia, and they would be able to say who could take over there.

Other than that I am deeply involved in education. I taught Bhakti Sastri to about 500 devotees during Covid, and it was extremely successful. I am now teaching Bhakti Vaibhava to about 100 of those who graduated from Bhakti Sastri. I will probably teach Bhaktivedanta shortly.

I am also focussing on using technology in preaching. Usually twice a day I chant japa online with about 100 devotees from around the world. I give classes with multiple cameras regularly. It is fascinating and I feel effective.
