Samadhi Now! (in Word)

Dear Devotees,
        Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila
Prabhupada.
        Attached is the Samadhi Newsletter. I hope someone can print it out
to post it on your temple noticeboard.  Srila Prabhupada is sitting in
Samadhi in Vrndavan in the most beautiful Mandir --out of this world.  Most
of us think, "Oh, it's finally built, and that's the end of it". But, as
everything else in this world, it still has to be maintained, and it costs
money. Sometimes I'm able to do some creative projects, but I continually
have to make sure of the upkeep of the whole project.
        Maybe it doesn't sound so exciting to think about donating for
cleaning, repairing, termite control, and other mundane maintenance stuff.
But it's for Srila Prabhupada, and it's my pleasure to actively participate
in these absolutely transcendental menial activities---because it's directly
for Srila Prabhupada. Some of you are regular donors. I hope many more of
you will feel inspired to help me with this wonderful service, even if it
doesn't sound so grand as cow seva, prasad seva, or Deity seva. None of this
would be going on if Prabhupada hadn't raised us to that level. Therefore, I
am so grateful to have such a service to remind me that all I am made of is,
after all, a menial servant of my beloved Spiritual Master, and I have to be
mindful not to neglect even the smallest details.
        We are slowly building up a Fixed Deposit that will cover daily
expenses with the interest and take care of things that go with aging of the
structure.  By Krishna's grace, the VEB (Vrndavan Executive Board) passed a
resolution ruling that no one may take this money without VEB permission. We
are relieved that the Samadhi Maintenance Fixed Deposit will stay fixed!
Your donation will eternally serve His Divine Grace in his Samadhi.
        Hope this meets you well.

Your servant,

Parvati devi dasi, for Vrndavana Samadhi
