Dear Devotees, Pamho. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The left arm of my Baladev deity is loose by about a sixteenth of an inch. Should I try to paste it with carpenter glue and fill it, or should I return it to Vrindavan and get another from the vendor? Please advise.

Also could any Sanskrit editor out there translate the 10 verses of Sri Dasavatara-stotra for me please? Number 4--Narahari--as you know is already given in the Vaisnava Song Book, so I need only 9. Please state the vibhakti of each word.

Finally, why is it that we don't celebrate the appearance day of Lord Buddha if He is Krishna? I certainly don't know everything.

Muchas gracias.

Sometime ago, Akriti devi dasi, a mataji affected by the damage of the fundamentalist Islamic Gov't of Kazakstan, requested financial help through the Sampradaya Sun. I want to let her know that money is there at Western Union "waiting" for her, and that she need not feel so unfortunate. Srila Prabhupaad is still alive and cares for her.

Could any devotee in Kazakstan please convey this message to Akriti d.d.?

Thanks.

My name is Akriti. I am single, 49, never been married. No children. I was born and grew up in Vladivostok, Russia. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Vladivostok University. I am a disciple of Srila Niranjana Swami. I joined the Hare Krishna movement in 1989.

For the past four years, I have been a resident of Almaty Farm, Kazakhstan. My primary occupation there is embroidery of the temple Deities’ gowns. Also, I worked for the Almaty Fashion House for the past two years.

After I sold my condo in Vladivostok, I moved to Kazakhstan and bought a house and improved its design. On June 15, 2007, my house, along with other 12 Krishnas’ houses, was demolished by Kazakhstan authorities.

Now, I live in the ladies-ashram on the premises of Almaty Farm. I don’t have a job, neither any savings. Yet, it is necessary to take care of my future somehow or other. I consider my stay in the ashram as a temporary measure because, by my world perception, I am not a brahmacharini.

Frankly, I am looking for a husband because I feel unprotected. I want to find a man who could take responsibility for my material needs, and allow me to be a housewife who takes very good care of him and his home.

I like intelligent, educated, free of material ambitions, gentle, yet capable to lead, men. I prefer a husband to be a brahman who can follow all four regulative principals and consider Krishna and Guru to be the main things in his life. Some outside characteristics like being tall, slim, and dark haired, are important for me, too.

What I can tell about me is that I am a visual, calm, smart, friendly, amiable, not prone to ire, neat, and good-looking (picture is attached). I give lectures in our temple; I always keep promises; I like singing; and I like nature: animals, flowers, and the sea. I am a very good cook and a very interested person to talk to. I will be the right person for that man who wants to escape loneliness and find a close friend.

I have very desperate financial difficulties nowadays. I feel embarrassed to be in the role of a beggar, but if someone can make some donation to me, I would be very grateful to that. It might be done by Western Union. My last name is Konovalova, first name is Anna, and my middle name is Vasilyevna.

His Holiness Bhakti Brinda Govinda Swami was collecting money for the victims of Kazakhstan events, but for some reason that collection didn’t reach us. I know three more devotees who lost their only homes, the rest of the victims have apartments in the city that’s why they don’t care so much about financial help. But I do need help very much. It was my only home in the former Soviet Union.

Please write to me at devidasi@mail.ru. Although I didn’t have much practice in English, I still can maintain the correspondence.

Vedic-matrimony.com is for the vaisnavas, by the vaisnavas, of the vaisnavas around the World. This is the only Matrimonial site that is completely dedicated to serve the vaisnavas around the world.

Because of its pressing need to launch India's first professional portal for spiritual development & stability within our society, we take pleasure in dedicating our services to the Vaisnava community.

This is a newly launched website, simple and yet decent where the Vaisnavas around the world can search and find their suitable matches.

There are so many devotees, congregational members and other vaisnavas all over the world looking for right matches, but they don't know where to look and this area should not be neglected in our society. So here is the market-place for all that is needed. Marriage is most crucial event and ushers in quite a new era in life. It establishes a novel relation between two persons which is attended by many anticipations, hopes, and fears.

We have seen and experienced that lot of vaisnavas ended up with wrong relationships. Their spiritual and material lives have suffered a lot for whole life. Some times due to frustration of not finding any suitable match they drift away from spiritual path or loose the track. .So, our services could be utilized to provide some direction for major step and turning point in life to spiritual progress.

Hare Krishna.
