We discussed this with Kusakratha prabhu two years ago. He was very

clear that he wanted his books to become public domain. There is no

copyright and no one person or business or institution that can lay claim to

them.

 

There is an existing stock of Kusakratha's books in Kansas city

under the care of Danavir Goswami if anyone is interested in obtaining them.

 

Your humble servant,

They are under the personal care of "Radha Kunde Richard."

This will be a great boon to the world's devotees. I met Kushakratha prabhu

in San Diego in 1973. Of course he was eccentric, but I was used to that.

Mostly he was kind and generous. Many years later I stopped by his LA

apartment to pick something up for Dravida. Kusha remembered me and invited

me in, gushing about the work he was doing on Gopala Champu. After we

stepped over and around several stacks of stuff, he sat me down and drenched

me with nectar for 15-20 minutes. I don't think I've seen him since then,

but my wife and I were both distressed to hear of his illness. His passing

is a great loss to all of us, but those books are his legacy. Without

Kushakratha, how would I know that Krishna's milk pail has a name? Satyaki

and I also join the rest of the devotees in our gratitude to all the

devotees who helped him out of this life.

 

Yours in service,

Babhru das
