Horse Riding
During Śrīla Gurudeva’s morning walks during the 2009 festival near Venice, Italy, we passed an area where there were some horses. This reminded Śrīla Gurudeva of his childhood and he told us that in his school days he was good at riding horses. His maternal uncles had many horses and Śrīla Gurudeva, being athletic and fit, would visit his uncles from time to time, specifically for horse riding. Soon he became expert and would race the horses through the fields performing varieties of jumps and other tricks.
