To resist Spanish ‘tapas’ one needs Indian ‘tapas’ During Mother’s Devi Bhava in Barcelona the webcam team went around the program place and transmitted us for few hours images from everything like book stalls, Amma dolls, tables of AmritaTV, of CDs, of French ashram, etc. We saw many ashramites and devotees either passing by or doing some seva.
