Hari Krishna Hari Rama
Krishna is the embodiment of love.
Sing this ancient mantra to find the spiritual
centre of your human heart.
Sing to the one creation, the one that gives
unconditionally and takes in the same
breath.
Krishna's message is: Sri Bhagavat Gita
Verse 25
This Self is said to be unmanifested, unthinkable and unchangeable. Therefore knowing this to be such, thou should not grieve.
Verse 32
I am the full grown world destroying Time, now engaged in destroying the worlds. Even without thee none of the hostile warriors shall live.
Verse 19
He whose undertakings are all devoid of desires (selfish) and purposes and whose actions have been burnt by the fire of knowledge,... him the wise call a sage
We look at the mind body and spiritual aspects to the ancient study of Dharana meaning concentration according to Patanjali. But meditation is even more than this. See Patanjali Yoga sutras Dharana is the sixth of the Eight Limbs of Yoga as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. It refers to concentration of the mind. Practicing dharana involves fixing the mind on a particular object — either external (such as an image or deity) or internal (such as a chakra). Dharana is a Sanskrit word which means "concentration."
The 7th stage is Nirvana or enlightenment ; liberation from all earthly attachments.

I was in St Petersburg in late 2016 when walking along a canal towards the local tourist market and my friend and I stumbled upon a satsang in the snow.
Yes it was quite unexpected, some Hari Krishna devotees in a bliss filled chant dancing and singing outside a big hall.
Sometimes the most unexpected events stumble across you when your on the road. As you can see in the video these devotees were in ecstatic joy.
This was the true spirit of satsang. To achieve such joy of spirit one must let go of the ego and embrace the feelings of joy that flow within as the chant envelopes your consciousness.
We in the west are sometimes not ready due to self consciousness to do this.
I crossed the bridge in July 2019 One of the shortest international crossings in my life.
It was maybe 10min at most but nice crossing the Mekong that way.
On the Lao side in typical Lao fashion there was no customs officials in the offices at work, no transport to Vientiane, so a local customs official took me by motorcycle back to the road bridge customs point at the end of the bridge to pass through customs.
There one can take a local bus to Vientiane for next to nothing.

Railway
A metre-gauge rail track from Nong Khai station runs along the centre of the bridge. Road traffic is stopped when a train is crossing.
On March 20, 2004, an agreement between the Thai and Lao governments was signed to extend the railway to Thanaleng Railway Station in Laos, about 3.5 km (2.2 mi) from the bridge. This will be the first railway link to Laos (but not the first railway, as a short portage line once existed). The Thai government agreed to finance the line through a combination of grant and loan.[3] Construction formally began on January 19, 2007.[4] Test trains began running on July 4, 2008.[3] Formal inauguration occurred on March 5, 2009.[5]
