Dear Pancaratna prabhu:

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

If you don't come up with the names you are looking for internally (from
those who received your initial message) I suggest you have the sysop for
PAMHO post it to everyone on the network, as well as posting the message to
the various Vaisnava news outlets. We did this and that is how we found our
current and past CPO directors. I had the happy task of sorting through
resumes of very qualified devotees. You need to add some qualifiers to
filter out the immature, the mental unbalanced, and those looking for a visa
or a free ride. We said we would not look at resumes not accompanied by
three references from GBCs, sannyasis, and or temple presidents, the
application had to be in English, and they had to have five to ten years
working professionally in the field.

The above is just a suggestion. Use it or forget it, as you deem best.

I have sent both messages out to my contacts amongst senior devotees here in
S. California.

Your servant,
Badrinarayan dasa
