Dear Maharajas and Prabhus,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

This year, as always, the deadline for submitting homages for Srila

Prabhupada's Vyasa-Puja book is April 15. Below is the announcement

published in the HKW and going out to all temples. Could you please write

your offerings and submit them on time, and also forward this message to any

temple or other Iskcon entity under your care? Thank you.

 

Hoping this meets you well, I remain

 

Your servant,

Dravida dasa

Deadline for offerings: > > > APRIL 15, 2000< < <

 

Absolutely no offerings will be accepted after this date.

 

Offerings must be in English.

 

Please restrict the length to a maximum of 3,000 words or 15k of ASCII text.

 

Please omit all diacritics. It's easier for us to put them in.

 

Do not "recycle" an offering--no offerings from previous years will be

accepted.

 

The Vyasa-puja book is meant for glorifying Srila Prabhupada, not for

venting grievances. The BBT reserves the right to reject an offering it

deems inappropriate or to ask for a rewrite.

 

When writing an offering on behalf of a temple or other unit, please try to

write in such a way that the other devotees in your unit can also identify

with the offering. This is not a hard and fast rule.

 

 

Who may write an offering?

 

1) Governing Body Commissioners

 

2) Sannyasis

 

3) Authorized representatives of ISKCON temples, preaching centers, farms,

gurukulas, BBT offices, and "others," such as BTG magazine, Hare Krishna

World, and ISCOWP (this is not a complete list).

 

4) No multiple offerings. For example, a temple should not enlist all its

bhaktas to write offerings under the temple heading. Joint authorship (2--4

devotees) of a single offering is fine.

 

5) Please make sure you tell us where the offering originates. For example:

New Vamsi-vata (the Madagascar farm community), NOT just New Vamsi-vata. If

we don't know where the offering comes from, we will not print it.

 

6) Always leave a double space between paragraphs. If you want some special

formatting, submit your offering in printed form or send it as an attached

file in Microsoft Word or RTF format (see 1. below).

 

 

Ways to submit an offering, in order of preference:

 

1) By uploading offering to Dravida dasa at dravida (AT) mindspring (DOT) com.

 

2) By hand-delivering a 3.5-inch floppy disk, ZIP disk, etc., or printed

offering to Svavasa Dasa, BBT Trustee, at Mayapur during the GBC Meetings.

Any Mac or PC format ok, but please label the disk. Include an e-mail

address on the label just in case we can't read it.

 

3) By sending offering on 3.5-inch floppy disk to Vyasa-puja Book, 3764

Watseka Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90034. Any Mac or PC format ok, but please

label the diskette.

 

4) By faxing offering to BBT offices in LA: (310) 837-1056.

 

5) By mailing a typed or carefully handwritten offering to Vyasa-puja Book,

3764 Watseka Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90034. (If you plan to send a printout,

why not send it on a disk or upload it and save us all that keying in!)

 

Offerings may be submitted any time from now until April 15, 1999. Receipt

of offering by e-mail will be confirmed on e-mail. For other offerings you

can confirm receipt by calling direct to (310) 837-5283. Don't expect a

return call or fax; keep trying till you get a live person.

 

The BBT is not responsible for illegible or lost offerings.

Dear Ekanath Prabhu

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

Attached are my Word files for VP 2002. Within each category is a file

called xx complete, containing all(?) the offerings of that category. The

reason for the (?) is that there may be a couple of late offerings that

didn't make it into the complete file. So you'll do best to double check.

Also, the final Pagemaker files really contain the final book, with a few

more proofing corrs. Those files I don't have. Arcita Prabhu does, and

he'll be back in a few weeks from Europe. Perhaps I can pull them off his

computer when I go to LA on the first, or perhaps he's left them with

Jagadis in the BBT. The absolute best way to get the offerings is off the

final PM files. But this is what I have so I'm sending.

 

Your servant,

Dravida dasa
