spain farm

[Guest guest]

Dear Dravinaksa Prabhu,

 

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

 

It's very good to hear from you after all these years. I personally have no

authority to say what happens at the Spain farm. (I'm still in Maine -- I just

moved to Topsham -- where at the Topsham Fair in August, you can see eight year

old boys and girls working oxen with only voice commands -- no ropes at all.)

The real person who should have a say would be Balabhadra Prabhu -- and he and

Chaya-devi are definitely fighting to keep the farm. I appreciate and probably

he also appreciates that you would have a lot of energy and a lot of experience

to help save this project. I hope things will work out so that you can do this

service for Srila Prabhupada and help enliven and attract more energetic

devotees to the Spain project who will be interested in demonstrating

productive use of the oxen, first class cow protection and exemplary

agriculture -- such as you are capable of providing.

 

Best wishes to you all down in Florida. Hopefully, you'll soon be moving to

Spain.

 

your servant,

 

Hare Krsna dasi
