I just want to share this e-mail that I got from a friend that is visiting in India. I think that is interesting the hospital in Bombay.....maybe Jayaradhe can go there. Also I like it the part about the kids, they are the future of our society.

 

Atma.

 

.....After Mayapur, I went to Pune, then I visited Mumbai for a few

days and had a great time there. I went to the Bhaktivedanta Hospital

there...(it is so awesome)...all the rooms have piped-in bhajans or lectures

of Prabhupada, there is a little temple room there, and at night the nurses

come around with a little Rath Cart of Lord Jagannath..all lit up, for all the

patients to take darshan! And what is amazing is that there are over 160

drs...this is a huge hospital, they are all bonafide super doctors that got

sick of working in a place that is ultra mundane...so they formed a core group

(most of who are Radhanath's disciples), and now this group is growing...it

really is cool, and they offered me a position to work there...yoga therapy!!!

I will have to absorb it all and think seriously about it when I get home.

 

Which is,,,this Sunday....yes, India is getting hotter by the day, and

Pune is really pleasant compared esp. to Mumbai. But being here, and learning

from the Iyengars is really a boon and blessing, esp. since Guruji is getting

older now, and it is more difficult to even get in!! This trip has been really

amazing, and I really missed you here in India.....

 

My boys are very cool, and so are your girls, and really I have realized

it so much more, that we are a huge family. Prabhupada gave us that legacy,

and there is nothing like it on the planet today. Hopefully we will all help

each other serve Prabhupada, and make his mission and the Mission of Sri

Caitanya Mahaprabhu realized sooner than later!!!

 

Give my love to my girls...is is warm in L.A. now? Did you check out

the boys' website for the Prabhupada festival? www.prabhupadafestival.com

it is really far out and creative.......I am very proud of them, and have no

doubt that our children will do great things.......

This is very good to hear. I think a greater development of social services will come as we mature as a movement. Healing is certainly a positive function, and it is good that those who may die, can do so in a spiritual atmosphere. I'm also thinking it might be good for devotees to create their own crematoriums. When I think of devotees passing away, part of me doesn't like the idea that their bodies are taken to a non-Vaisnava crematorium. Not sure why exactly, its just I think something so important as death should be handled within the Vaisnava community.
