Re Maithily

[Guest guest]

Dear Prabhus and Maharajas

 

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

 

I am writing regarding my god-sister Maithily dasi. She joined ISKCON in the

early 70s and has served Srila Prabhupada in the UK, France, India and many

places. She did very wonderful service in Bombay in the early years when we

were so poverty stricken and India was a tough place to live.

 

I personally know her as a great Vaisnavi, surely on her way Back to Godhead

at the end of this life, by Srila Prabhupada's mercy. His Divine Grace also

knew her personally and appreciated her service.

 

Now, like a number of Baby Boomers, she is feeling the affects of the

"Silent Killer" Hepatitis C virus which she has had in her blood for over 30

years.

 

Maithily never married and as such is not properly protected. She cannot

easily live in an ashram with her condition and also she is so senior to any

ladies living in our small bhaktin ashramas.

 

She has been struggling for a number of years to be financially independent.

She has a T-shirt business which she works hard at and in these times of

difficulty she is in a little difficulty. She has a potential order but

doesn't have the finances to fulfil the order. A successful conclusion of

the deal would give her a good boost. She needs someone to lend her the

capital which she is willing to repay in 6 months or before with interest.

 

Were talking about $2000-$3000 . She has no collateral as such, but perhaps

something could be worked out with the goods for sale.

 

Actually I am more disturbed by her physical condition. She shouldn't have

to work in this way with so much stress and strain. It is very bad for her

liver. I know well from her recent tests that she could progress towards end

stage liver disease and/or cancer if someone doesn't help her NOW.

 

I am a sannyasi and I am struggling with my own liver problems. I cannot get

directly involved at this stage. Of course I will do anything if noone else

will do something. Her email is maithy108 (AT) hotmail (DOT) com and her cell phone is

858-883-4949.

 

Gentlemen, we have to take care of our women, especially ladies who have

served so faithfully in the past. She may not be active in DS just now but

she has sacrificed much and is very much a Prabhupada Woman.

 

Please do what you can !!!!

 

This is not a guarantee of her credit but rather an entreaty to do

something.

 

Please help before it is too late !!!

 

Your humble servant

Sridhar Swami
