After a three day rest in Holland, and a Satsang on 12th August evening, Sri Swamiji arrived in Denmark on 13th August 2004. Sri Swamiji camped in the house of Mukunda Louis Jeppson in Roskilde village. In the evening Sri Swamiji performed Sri Chakra Puja. Agastya Seikritt welcomed Sri Swamiji and prayed that Sri Swamiji should keep coming to Denmark. Then Sri Swamiji started to speak and said "I am like a cat, monkey and fish. To the beginners, I am a cat. The cat carried its babies around while clutching them in its mouth. The Mother monkey flies around the trees. Its babies cling to the mother. The fish moves around the water swiftly while the babies scramble to run around with the mother. I feel that Denmark devotees have become like fish and that they don't need too much personal attention. If you evolve, you can travel around in different worlds and galaxies with me".

Next day, 14th August was the concert day. The concert was arranged in the prestigious hall BLACK DIAMON in the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. Sri Swamiji played Pancha Raga kriti and several other compositions. The rendition of the Bhajan PITHE PITHE was wonderful.

On 15th August 2004, Sri Chakra Puja was performed while arriving to the Puja, Sri Swamiji held a small flag of India as it was the Indian Independence day. Sri Swamiji said that he was happy to be holding the Indian flag. After Sri Chakra Puja Sri Swamiji said that Independence in real sense means - freeing the mind to reach God head, because sense organs keep the mind shackled to material world. Sri Swamiji gave away Puja Prasadam to devotees. Ganapati Homa Purnahuti was performed and then Sri Swamiji Blessed the host, Mukunda with a Rudraksha Mala and flower garland. He was elated.

In the evening at 6 PM Sri Swamiji left for Germany.
