COMMENTS

========

I have gone through to some extent your Krishna Kathamrta magazine about the

secret of Lord Gaura's sannyasa and the issue about the glories of Srimad

Bhagavatam. Also, during my free time in my office I read your email

magazine Sri Krishna Kathamrita Bindu. I greatly appreciate all of these

publications, they are inspiring and full of knowledge.

-- Satish Rane

 

Last week, on Shivaratri, I spent the whole day reading Krishna Kathamrita

numbers 7 and 8 about the glories of Lord Shiva. It was so inspiring and

nice to spend the special day in that way and remembering all those magical

Shiva temples in Bhubaneswar.

 

I want to thank you from my heart for the wonderful service you do. Last

time I was in India, I bought all the issues of Krishna Kathamrita magazine

and they are my greatest inspiration while I'm here in Switzerland.

 

If there is any affection in my heart for Lord Jagannath, Gour Govinda

Maharaja, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and lord Shiva, it is because of the time I

have spent reading all these wonderful magazines.

 

I'm looking forward to reading the new book "My Revered Spiritual Master".
