And again I'm making a request

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

And again I'm making a humble request. :-)

 

I was given ceramic Deities of Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai and Maharaj,

allowed me to do some simple worship with Them. But I have no any

paraphernalia. The worst thing is that I have no money either. Here,

in Moscow, anything coming from India is very expensive. For example,

one little cup for offering the water costs about 6,5 dollars. Maybe

it is made of silver? I was shocked to see such prices. I'm a Russian

student and 6,5 dollars is a very big amount of money for me. So I

found myself not able to buy two cups for water. I also need a

panca-putra for acaman and ghanta with a saucer for it.

 

Maybe anyone could send me those paraphernalia? I think it is possible

for devotees from India as paraphernalia are not expensive there. When

Karttika begins and devotees go to India I could try send some money

with them, so they could pay for me.

 

Please, help. :-)

Dennis,

 

Your best best is to shop for these kinds of things in India itself.

With the exception of books, most devotional items from India are of

better quality and cheaper than those obtained elsewhere. Although

right now I am better able to afford imported items, I still save up

money for India trips not only for the round-trip ticket, but also

for extra shopping. Some of the things we obtain specifically from

India include devotional clothing, puja items, books, ghee wicks, and

so on.

 

IF you are unable to go to India, you should check out some of the

bookstore links on the Achintya webpage. In particular, I believe

Giri Tradiing Agency does sell the kind of items you are looking for,

and that too at Rupee prices. Check out their website and send them

an email if the item you are looking for is not available on the

website. My experience with Giri is that they will likely try to

obtain whatever you want.

 

yours,
