Today in Vrindavan is a memorial program for Srila Prabhupada’s dear disciple Parvati devi dasi. I wrote a letter to her for the occasion:

Shastrakrit Das: This wonderful lady from Uzbekistan saw the Arabic Gita on our book table and came over with great enthusiasm to ask me if I believed that God is a person, I teach meditation & if I believed in Karma and reincarnation and if I’m vegetarian?
