Hare Krishna, Gurumaharaja 🙏🏻

Por favor acepte mis reverencias 🙏🏻

Jay Srila Prabhupada 🙏🏻

Dear Gurumaharaja, the reason for my letter is because our stay in New Vrajamandala is becoming increasingly difficult. The phrase the authorities always tell us, "THERE IS NO PLACE FOR GRIHASTRAS HERE," is becoming more and more true in our daily lives. I struggled and endured until I couldn't take it anymore. We wrote a letter to the community, formalizing what everyone in NVM knows: that we live in a space that is too small (we have to take out the mattress to open the door) and that it used to be a garbage dump. We cleaned it up.

I am the daughter of a lawyer; I explained my case and supported it. Beforehand, I asked seven brahmanas, as you once told me; I asked seven families who lived and still live here. Therefore, I came to the conclusion that it's best to leave this place.

I'm already married; I can't always live in the house of my spiritual family. Prabhupada says that the grihastras should contribute to the temple, .. my husband and I should not continue living off Iskcon.

We do not want to be a burden or a nuisance to anyone (although the letter affected several of the administrative board) I repeat: I am the daughter of a good lawyer, my father taught me to tell the truth to defend what is right.

The administration no longer has normal spaces for us to live, and we accept it. It is time to go out into the world and work.

My husband and I are grateful but it is now necessary to leave.

HOWEVER I made it very clear that our commitment to supporting the hostel service is to maintain the only source of income for NVM and my husband maintains his service taking care of the 92-year-old devotee who gave and gives everything to the NVM rural project.

In short, WE WILL NOT LEAVE THE SERVICE BUT WE WILL LOOK FOR A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE OUTSIDE OF NVM 🙏🏻

HpS/ASA - Hare Krsna. Thank you for this news. We guess you are back in NVM from India.

What you describe sounds accurate. We guess your husband is of the same mind.

We talked with the Brahmana leaders of the Houston community, Temple President and authorities, State and Federal government and now we plan to be based in Houston until Janmastami.

If things really fall apart the railroad track in one block away and we can just leave all shelter and start walking East along the track toward Braja!

Thank you!!
