Thank you Sunderji. I will forward this url to other lists. Madhavaji had

earlier written the following which was very moving and I include part of it

below.

 

Love to all

Madhavaji: "I just wanted to share my feelings related to this subject:

 

I can understand the pain and grief which those people must be undergoing

now. You may remember in 1993 there was an earthquake which devasted the

Latur village in Maharashtra. I was in Bombay at that time. Some devotees

from USA have colleted a lot of used clothes and forwarded them to my

teacher H.H. Saradapriyanandaji. She called me and instructed me to hand

them over to some organization which is doing this, or distribute them all

by myself. But then I have decided to go and distribute the clothes

myself. I have requested Indian Red cross in Bombay, they were kind enough

to offer the transportation free of cost to Latur. Finally I landed there

and distributed the clothes. I was at Latur for two weeks serving at that

disaster area. I can still remember the happiness in the eyes of those

hapless victims, while receiving clothes, blankets and all help which we

could offer! I know what we did was a little compared to what needs to be

done. But I know that it helps, all that we need is to help. Help as much

as you can. Remember what Taittiriya says "SriyA dEyaM, bhiyA dEyaM,

saMvidA dEyaM... aSraddhayA adEyam..."

 

GOD bless those American devotees who sent clothes to Latur Victims. Since

I have seen how much their help counted, I can for sure say that the

blessings of the Almighty will fall abundantly on those American Devotees,

for they did what ever little they could. Hari Om.

 

 

I remain yours,

Madhava
