At that moment, I had no idea how that would ever be possible. But some prayers find their own path (sic)."

"By what can only be called Krishna's grace, and through the collective faith and effort of our entire team, we were blessed to personally meet Maharaj ji in Vrindavan, show him our trailer, and receive his blessings for Krishna Avataram.

Jai Shree Krishna," he added.
