Guest guest Posted July 24, 1999 Report Share Posted July 24, 1999 I was just cleaning my files, ans was so impressed with this text from Gopinatha Acarya Prabhu, that I had to say, thanks for posting it. I did not read the text when it fist came because it had gotten all scrambled up, and the lines so splayed out that it was tough to read. But now I took the time, and it is very inspirational.
