[Jagannath] Krsna is the Source of All Incarnations

[Guest guest]

Jai Jai Sri Jagannath!!!

 

Dear Sanjay,

 

The very sight of it prompted me to carry it on to the December issue itself

which is ready for being mailed in 3-4 days (I am sorry of the delay due to

certain unforeseen circumstances). I have already written to Gauranga

seeking his acceptance to publish in our December issue.

 

Regards,

Sarat.
