COMMENTS

========

It was so great to receive the issue of KK Bindu this last Ekadasi. This

was the first issue I've received and I loved it. While reading Bindu I feel

the presence of the purest form of vaishnava love. It instilled ecstasy even

in this dead machine (my computer)! May it similarly instill love for

Krishna in a fallible dead soul like myself. Jaya Nimai! Jaya Nitai!

-- Arun Pant

 

Thank you so much for your ongoing seva to Sri Nitai Gaura! I appreciate

the focus on non-sectarian preaching and krishna-katha. As a

non-ISKCON/Gaudiya Math Vaishnava I enjoy your magazine as a model for other

publications that are needed to help bridge the divides that separate us,

and help all vaishnavas do nice seva for Mahaprabhu.

Thanks again,

-- Vaishnava Pada Das

 

I wanted to add something in appreciating of the latest Krishna Kathamrta

magazine. I like that you get devotees like Gopiparanadhana Prabhu and

Matsya Avatara Prabhu to do translations. I have a lot of faith in them. It

makes the books and magazines so much more relishable and authentic. I Hope

all is well for you and your assistants.
