Chance encounter.
A Goan Hindu from California. A Muslim from Bosnia, reborn as a Hare Krishna. A historic Christian abbey in the beautiful Swiss town of St. Gallen. What are the odds of the three converging?
Yajña Krsna Nam Das (that’s his Hare Krishna name) was born as Amir in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I was admiring the Baroque interiors of the St. Gallen Cathedral and he was quietly meditating.

Superb images! The cathedral looks so well lit. Is it because of the white walls or was there any other source of light? I was mentally comparing the above images with Basilica Bom Jesus and think Bom Jesus is a bit on the darker side. What say?
As can be seen in the first photo, the Cathedral has a lot of natural light filtering in from the windows.
