Karttika meditations: Crows in Damodara-lila

[Guest guest]

I think it is originally from the Gopal Campu, I've heard it from several

devotees in India. I tried to track it down, but the file of Gopal Campu in

the file area has only the first few chapters of it, and I don't have a hard

copy at hand. See CC 1.44 for a list of Gopal Campu's contents, you should

find these pastimes from its first part, chapter 8. And please let me know

if you get more information in this regard. I am sending a Cc to Katha, if

any of the devotees there can check it up.
