Construction continues at a steady pace. The soil is very solid, very tough and we have to break it with large hammers. The use of an Excavator was not possible because the foundation is not designed to be that wide. We have trained a new worker for making logs on the lathe and wood is now being lathed non-stop. Once the foundation is completed and is set, that the walls of the building will go up quickly.
Here is a letter received from Omvati Devi Dasi,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Hare Krisna your Holiness Niranjana Swami Maharaja!
Please, accept my humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet!
My name is Omvati d.d. I’m from Donetsk. During all the time of the military operations I have been staying in Donetsk and making endeavors to render my modest service by helping devotees, who remained in the temple. From the bottom of my heart I thank you and devotees for the material support. At present all salaries and pensions are no more paid in the city. And therefore your financial support turned to become very much helpful. In this difficult time of trials it is especially pleasant to experience your mercy, care and support of devotees.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
A servant of your servants
Omvati d.d.
