Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 Dear Maharajas, Prabhus & Matajis Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Hoping this one finds you in great spiritual and material health, we'd like to inform you about a facility that was long overdue. If you are coming to Mayapur, before, during or after Gourpurnim Festival, whether -You are coming by airplane, from abroad or internal flight, or -You are coming by train from Delhi, Bombay, etc -You are coming alone, in group or with your family -Your flight arrives late in the evening, in the middle of the night or early morning AND -You don't want taxi drivers to fight over you at the airport -You don't want to fight with the taxi drivers about the price -You don't enjoy been ripped-off by the taxi drivers -You don't enjoy drivers going off with your luggage -You don't want to drive around Calcutta looking for Hotel because you arrived late. YOU CAN BOOK A TAXI DIRECTLY FROM MAYAPUR VIA E-MAIL Your taxi will be there any time of day or night, and it will be there only waiting for you. The driver will have a card to identify himself and a sign with your name, or the name of the group leader. He will be a driver known to devotees and trustworthy The price will be already pre-arranged and it will be the current rate that any other taxi will charge you for the service. (Hassle free) WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET SUCH FACILITY? All you have to do is e-mail us with plenty of time (at least 48 hours prior to your departure) Give us the details of your arrival, clearly specified, flight number, time of arrival, etc. who should be ask for payment. DO I PAY RIGHT THERE OR LATER ON? Ideally you pay when you arrive safely in Mayapur. It's recommended you change at least 2000 rupees in the airport because you may need the bank receipt to change back onto your original currency any rupees you may be left with. And, of course, everybody pays, it's Krsna's mercy. HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY? Basically there are two types of car in India at the moment, and it will depend on how many of you are coming and how comfortable you usually travel. For an Ambassador for 4 people, comfortable, to pick you up: >From the Airport: Rupees 900 >From Calcutta : Rupees 1,000 For a Tata Sumo: 7 people comfortable, plenty of luggage, to pick you up: >From the Airport: Rupees 1,200 >From Calcutta : Rupees 1,300 Same price apply for one, two or seventeen vehicles, and for large group bus can be arranged. The exchange rate is approximately 47 rupees to the US Dollar. (Varies daily) If you need to go and come back, Mayapur-Calcutta-Mayapur. We can arrange it. We can also provide you with a taxi when you are ready to leave Mayapur. You will have to give us plenty of warning though because many devotees leave at the same time and we do not want last minute surprises. WHO DO I CONTACT IF I WANT TO USE THIS FACILITY? All you have to do is e-mail: Lalitanath das in Mayapur then sit back and enjoy the transcendental festival with nothing to regret. IS THERE ANY OTHER FACILITY AVAILABLE? Yes, There is also money-changing facility. Any currency you may hold, any amount required will be dealt with. With peace of mind, total security and complete fairness, as this is done with official government recognized agent, right here in Mayapur premises. Wishing you a safe journey Your servant Lalitanath das PS.- We do regret to inform you that, should you book a taxi and for whatever reason you fail to appear on the specified day, you will still have to pay for the service at your arrival to Mayapur, as the taxi would have done the trip for you, which means time, money, petrol being consumed. It is understandable if your flight is delayed, especially in India that is common, and our taxi drivers have instructions to wait for as long as it takes; but should you change plans after having made the arrangement and fail to inform us, then you will be billed, once in Mayapur.
