Guest guest Posted December 28, 1999 Report Share Posted December 28, 1999 Dear devotees, please accept the most humble obeisances from our family. All glory to Srila Prabhupada! Dear devotees, we have a last hope for your mercy. We have a very difficult situation with my Dad, Michail. He worked as an engineer for 18 years at a factory in supplies dept. He had problems at his work, because he is a devotee. His Manager asked him to leave the factory or to be in position of an ordinary worker. We tried to find another work but we failed, because if he will have another work, he will have a very little salary (just 10-15 $). And also he will not be able to chant Mahamantra, because people think that devotees and vegetarians are crazy! And also he can not eat prasadam there, because now his factory is near from our house. So every day he has lunch-prasadam at home. We said to Srila Niranjana Swami about an unbearable conditions of his work. We pray every day to Lord Krishna to find some work in the USA. In our country devotees after crisis don`t have any chance to combine devotional service and work. Even "Food for life" doesn`t work, because of the local authorities. Our family are in the ISKCON for 10 years. My name is Radhika and I wrote this letter to you by myself. I very often write to western devotees: to Radhanatha das from California.(He publishes magazine "Krishna Kids"); to Bhaktin Joie Pierce from Cresant City, Ca; to Acarya das from Cottage Grove OR; to Nila Gopal from East Hartford; to Kirta from Denmark and to other devotees. This year I was in America, in North Carolina, Charlott. Our family's dream is to live and sincerely serve to Krishna in the USA. I would like to tell you smth. very interesting, that happend before my trip in America. My devotees friends very often send me pictures of dieties and never write where are they from. But one day Acharya das send me Deities from North Carolina. On back he wrote: Radha Golokananda deities, in North Carolina. Krishna has a very black dark colour and Radharani has very light, like white colour. They are very nice. And our family,when Acharya das send me Them I didn't know that I will go to N.C. I took Them with me in N.C., so I prayed to Them. May be Radha and Krishna will be merciful to my Dad, so somebody will host him to N.C. My Dad chant 16-30 rounds of Mahamantra every day. My Mam chant 16-21. And me just 1 round every day. We make prasadam for Krishna, worship the Tulasi (we have 12 of Them), we observe all fasts and regulative principles. Please, please, please help my Dad to have invitation to come to America. I know that lotus feet of devotees may fulfill all our dreams. My Dad can do any hard work ( I mean he can do everything).And also to build houses. He is toll, strong, healthy and hardy. We have a piece of land in a village, and 3 years every summer he worked on the land and build that house. He can grow fruits and vegetables. Here is the specialities that my Dad can do (has): 1.He is an engineer of sewage and water purification 2.He used to work as an engineer of marketing and supplies in "Mogilev metallurgical works". 3.He has a diploma of plamber of 5th category. 4.He can do any indirect labour in construction * * * Everyone who would like to write to us, write to: Yulia (Radhika) Suvorova Kobrinskaya 33/103 Mogilev,Belarus 212030 Our tel. number is (375-1722) 23-79-76 And here is my e-mail: julia_suvorova We will send you our pictures, drawings, we will also tell you about devotees in Belarus (where we are living now). We need very much your care, love, friendship and support. I hope that when I will grow up,my knowledge of english and russian will help the devotees from CIS and America to become closer. I would like to make it my service to Krishna. This year already I used to translate for russian children in their communication with people from America. Haribol, You servants Michail,Larisa and Radhika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
