Internship in Sustainable Living

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to

Srila Prabhupada.

 

I was recently recommended your e-mail addresses by

Bhakti Raghava Swami who was very enthusiastic about

the following flyer that we have been distributing. I

hope that you will also be excited about it. We are

hoping that you can post it on the apropriate

conferences. Thank you.

 

Your servant,

Krsna-devata devi dasi
