Please take note that the authorities at the airport have significantly increased
the checking of bags when you are coming back to doha.
Recently, one month back, two bhaktas had experience where they took out everything to check. It took one hour. They also saw his chanting bag but did not ask anything.
Two staff working with rasraj prabhu was in lock up for one month and then was deported. Their mistake was to bring their medicine (antibiotics) from India without doctors prescription.
Our advise :
1. Ensure all medicine are brought with doctors prescription.
2. Reduce the number of books that you are bringing
3.avoid bringing chandan or any paste without the packaging, to proof what it is.
4. Avoid electronic equipments such as prabhupad 24 hour Japa. This are easily picked up by the scanners that will make them open you bags.
5. HIGHLY discouraged to bring in DEITIES till further advise.
