The Supreme Personality of Godhead has manifest at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, benedicting the entire world through the sound vibration of the Govindam prayers. With great delight, we played the video link provided by HG Urmila devi dasi (see right). The Quicktime clip shows Olympic skaters Anastasia Grebenkina and Vazgen Azroyan, who skated for Armenia to the tune of "Govindam". The Govindam prayers are famous at Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON temples around the world, and it was amazing to watch these Olympic skaters move across the ice to this transcendental song.

Anastasia Grebenkina was born in 1979 in Moscow, Russia, and began skating at age five. She switched to ice dancing at age 12. Vazgen Azroyan was born in1977 in Odessa, Ukraine. He began skating at age four and also switched to ice dancing at age 12. The couple began skating as a pair in 1996, winning many international competitions. Many of Grebenkina's dance moves reminded us of Indian dance, and she wore a bindi on her forehead, indicating that the choice of Govindam, Adi Purusam, was not by chance.
