A letter of appreciation from a satisfied receiver of Srila Prabhupada\u2019s books.
\nJiva Doya das is a book distributor from the Bhaktivedanta Manor. He travels around England with three other devotees.
\nDear Jiva,
\nthank you very much for contacting me. It was nice to speak to you in town when I saw you. I had had a rather uninspiring day and it was eye opening to talk to someone who seems to have a real passion for what they believe in. At the moment I am at a point in my life where I am happily floating on a cloud of contentment for who I am and what I believe in, which at present is unknown even to myself.
\nI have the greatest respect for people like yourself who have kept the lifestyles of those before you in an unbroken chain of philosophy and spiritualism. I believe that if I hadn\u2019t already been captured in the cycle of what is my turbulent near adult life I would have liked to have done something similar to yourself.
\nThank you for stopping me in the street and being so warm and friendly, you have opened my eyes to the world that is around me and the amazing people such as His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (see I have read the books you gave me!) who have inspired millions upon millions of people.
\nI must repeat my thank you again as your email has been like a ray of sunshine to what has been a rather boring life and I am grateful to you for that, as it is not an easy job restoring my faith.
\nI hope you are well and enjoying life
\nall my best wishes
