My dear friends and associates

I have come back from Salt Lake City – Utah State. As usual I desired to share my experience at the Place of my visit with all of you, but then this time, it is surely not as easy as that. Salt Lake City, as is known by its name, is a valley surrounded by many sandy hills and of course to its name – a big salt lake in the city itself. Probably it was under sea some time ago. It was a pleasure for me to get roasted up during day time simultaneously enjoying the snow caps on the mountains. The City is around 4500 ft above sea level and the hill top may be around 12000ft. The glaciers, the oak trees, the lomas, perhaps the rattle snakes etc…are the thrilling features of the sacred land. I must thank Dr Kishore for all the support extended.

I have been repeatedly writing that nothing is impossible for a human being; the fine example is Mr. Carudas and Smt Vaibhavi-an American couple who could make a beautiful Shri Krishna Temple possible on the Holy Land. Really we can not afford, but then it is possible for Shri Caru Das and Mrs. Vaibhavi – who could prove themselves; a lone American couple; divine personalities; and all that - they did this miraculous job. Simple temples are constructed at many places by many people, but then the specialty is that they have parrots sweetly chanting Krishna-Krishna; polite cows – Ganga, Gowri and Nandi; an unusual lotus pond mesmerizing all of us, as the Holy Manasarovar; a big teak wood crafted chariot; marvelously carved POP decorative walls; dancing peacocks and many such. Where else can be Holy Brindavan?

The worlds most prestigious man made Kennecott's Copper Mine – an unusual mine visibly pointed out by the satellite of the two such on the earth, the other being the Great Wall of China, is a Jewel of the City.

Most amazingly, when we tried to perform Jyothirlingaarchana in Holy Ganesh Temple, a circling ball, may be the Lotus Feet of Lord or a sacred Conch rolled up in air joining the Jyothis in the Linga Roop, which was rapidly photographed by Dr Kishore. The Second interesting matter is that a candle as that of other candles in the sequence started burning bright at the forehead of the Linga making the gathering to believe the bright light of Lord Shiva on his forehead. This particular candle burned till the end in the same condition. Wonders and Miracles do happen and all this happened at the Holy Salt Lake City on that day when all of us admiringly witnessing.

I believe – strongly believe, a day is not too far off for Lord Shiva to have his temple as that of Amarnath Cave or as that of Kailash making us to believe that Lord has his choicest places on this earth in different continents/islands. HIS WISH PREVAILS UPON.
