Coming To Vrindavan For Kartik?

BY DEENA BANDHU DASA

VRINDAVAN, INDIA, Oct 16 (VNN) — My dear Maharajas and Prabhujis, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We are very pleased to announce that we have gathered and trained a group of 15 devotees in Vrindavan to assist the visiting devotees in order to make their stay in Braja a pleasant one. One of the first experiences that one gets is at the airport trying to arrange a taxi to Vrindavan. Devotees are paying exhorbitant prices such as Rs.2000 - Rs.2500. Even yesterday, one devotee from Spain paid Rs.4,500!

In order to serve the Vaishnavas better, we are ready to arrange taxis for anyone who lets us know in advance their travel plans. Most of our Vrindavan taxis are Diesel so they can give better rates than the Delhi taxis. We will send one of our Welcome Group devotees to receive your party with Mahaprasad, Mahaprasad garlands and drinking water. If you desire to freshen up and take a shower before coming to Vrindavan, we have made arrangements for that with our Delhi temples.

An ordinary taxi (5 devotees) is Rs.1150 and van type of taxi (10 devotees) is Rs.1500 plus around Rs.100 for parking while we await your arrival.

Already a few days ago, we knew that two parties were coming almost the same time, so splitting the cost, each party had to only pay Rs.750!

In order to let us serve the Vaisnavas in this way, we need the following Information.

1) Date and time of arrival.
2) Airline and Flt.#
3) City from which the flight is arriving
4) Number of devotees in your party
5) Whether you have already booked accommodation or would like us to do so.

Please give us the opportunity to serve the Vaishnavas coming to visit Vrindavan. Contact both the following devotees for this service:

Brhat.Mrdanga.grs@pamho.net
Shymahari.gkg@pamho.net

In Service of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram,
Deena Bandhu dasa

PS. Don't write to me directly, I'm busy going on Parikrama with all the devotees and do not check my email regularly.
