important note from Gopal soft toys

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna!

Dear Prabhus and Matajis,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

Devotional dolls will be available during the Mayapur Festival at a special

price to every one.

ISKCON devotees here handcraft our dolls.

We do not want to make big profits, but simply maintain a simple lifestyle

and maintain our cow here in beautiful Mayapur.

 

As Srila Prabhupada has said,

.... for exporting Indian goods to outside of India. Similarly, we can

import nice dolls here (to the West). ... So Mayapur inhabitants can be

engaged in such a small manufacturing enterprise as well as farming to

become self-sufficient.

============ REF. Letter to: Jayapataka, Bhavananda -- Los Angeles 9 May,

1973

 

We now have a Distributor in the USA. He will send the dolls to any parts

of the world at no extra charge over the retail price. This service will be

available shortly after the Gaura Purnima Festival. We also will be able to

accept payments through our new on-line payment system at that time. Please

have patience and bare with us while we get all this set up for you.

 

Meanwhile, if you are coming to the Mayapur Festival please look us up or

if you cannot make it, send a friend. We will be having a stall at the Mini

Market under the Name GOPAL SOFT TOYS. Now we have available

Radha, Gopal, Balaram, Nimai, and Nitai dolls.

Limited Radarani's will also be available with special dresses made from

Mahaprasadam dresses from their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhava and eight

Gopis of Chandrodaya Mandir.

 

Srila Prabhupada:

Maharaja Parékñit also used to play with Kåñëa dolls in his childhood. In

India, the children in good families are still given dolls of the Lord like

Räma and Kåñëa, or sometimes the demigods, so that they may develop the

aptitude of service to the Lord. By the grace of the Lord, we were given

the same opportunity by our parents, and the beginning of our life was

based on this principle.

============ REF. SB 3.2.2

 

We are looking forward in meeting you here.

 

A Grand Festival is planned this year! Please do not miss it!

 

I hope you are well by the grace of Krishna.

Your humble servant,

Hrimati dasi
