Jaya Jayananda!

USA (VNN) - by Krsna Prema devi dasi

Hare Krsna Prabhus, All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my humble obeisances.

I had an ecstatic afternoon hearing Jayananda Katha with Dasaratha Suta das. The book he is working on to glorify Jayananda will be in the words of the devotees and those who had the honor of his association. He wants to finish up the book about Jayananda Prabhu soon but doesn't want to miss anyone's contributions. He wants to collect more Jayananda pastimes. He especially encourages the ladies to have a voice in this book as Jayananda was able to see everyone equally in devotional service. Whatever body you are in please feel free to contribute. This is the kind of book the "little" guy can contribute to as Jayananda loves "little guys".

These might be long shots but Dasaratha Suta is also looking for; the first pujari at SF temple in 67- Silavati dasi, as well as Jayananda's former wife, Trayi dasi (who was said to have returned to Siddhasvarupa's camp in Hawaii), Patty who was mentioned in a letter from Srila Prabhupada to Jayananda in 1967, and Sacidevi dasi who was suggested to Jayananda to be suitable to marry by Srila Prabhupada in a letter.

Prabhus maybe you can help find them or can forward this note on to those you think might know. Please make a request to our godbrothers godsisters for Jayananda pastimes.

Dasaratha Suta also wants to find out, who took Jayananda's ashes to India and in which Holy river were they scattered, Jamuna or Ganges? (Ramesvara was the temple pres. and Indrannatha was serving Jayananda in LA)

Please send your pastimes to my e-mail address Gita434@aol.com or if you want to send them by snail mail, please send on disc for WordPerfect DOS 6.0, 5.1 or lower ( I can help you translate them to WP 5.1 DOS if need be) and send to:

Nectar Books
PO Box 574
Union City GA 30291

Whatever service you can offer will be many times rewarded simply because you are glorifying Krsna's devotee.

This project is real nectar. Please feel free to dive in and splash around.

Jaya Jayananda!
your humble servant,
Krsna Prema devi dasi
