Last call - Global Excellence Awards 2004

[Guest guest]

I nominate Dayaram prabhu for category 5 ( "overall ISKCON's Interest) for

his selfless services in most difficult circumstances in respect of

protecting ISKCON's properties and rights.

 

I also nominate Sanak Sanatana prabhu for Category 12 (Padayatra preaching)

for his ten long and austere years on the road in Padayatra as a member

and later, as leader of the team.

 

 

There are many, many devotees who have been working with exemplary

sincerity and dedication for many years in various areas like Deity worship

, cooking and so on. But because they're low-profile and in the background

, their services are not very much recognized and appreciated. I suggest

Indian yatra leaders also nominate such devotees whom they are aware of.

 

Your servant,

 

Devamrita das
