ESTABLISHING MEMORIALS

[Guest guest]

Dear Nanda Kishore prabhu,

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

Thank you for your nice sentiments about creating memorials.

Even more grand than creating awareness externally is our

concentration on internal awareness, in our temples and in our hearts. I am

pleased to report that recently a group of about 30 brahmacaris has taken it

to heart to have an enthusiastic kirtan in the evening for Prabhupada's

Samadhi arati here in Vrndavana, where previously we were very hard put to

find ANYONE to attend before. They are reviving their relationship with

Srila Prabhupada in a wonderful way, especially because their enthusiasm is

not based on flag waving and announcements and banners, but deep sincerity

and bonding directly with Srila Prabhuapada and each other in a Krishna

conscious way. This enthusiasm is very contagious and draws an even bigger

crowd of devotees and visitors for each evening kirtan. After the aroti,

they take their enthusiasm and continue in the temple with the other

devotees for the balance of the Deities' aroti.

I personally feel very fulfilled to see the proof that the process

Srila Prabhupada has given us works in such a grand way.

I hope this meets you well.

 

Your servant,

Parvati devi dasi
