Kazakhstan Emergency

[Guest guest]

All of this is very, very good news, Maharaj.

 

Congratulations on your hard work, if that is any kind of consolation and

encouragement, however meagre.

 

I wonder why all this is not going on at London at well?

 

I would imagine that the Manor devotees and Praghosh Prabhu could organize a

large rally/march/demonstration of Hindus/Indians through the main streets

of London with thousands of them holding placards call for the Government of

Kaz to "cease and desist". Even if it takes a few days to organize.

Romapada Das, HH GKG's disciple, is very active in organizing the Hindus and

writes a regular column in a local Hindu newspaper, and then the "Pandava

Sena" ("sena", remember, means "army"), should be invaluable help in

organizing such an endeavor.

 

I wonder what's going on with them?

 

HH Sivaram Maharaj knows them well from his London days, and he's a very

respected figure over there. Maybe he should work there for the moment?

Just a thought... oh, I see Romapada Das is alreday a receiver of this

message, as it's a comment on your message, Maharaj. Any report from him

yet?
