Siromani dasi)
July 20, 2008
Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories
to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.
Thank you to those who responded. 81 devotees have
registered so far for the parikrama. Since we have reached our original
limit of 75, unfortunately we have stopped the registration. We
are sorry to say that we wont be able to accept any more devotees
for the parikramas.
Once I have more information about accomodation
arrangements in Jaipur and Rishikesh, I will send email.
Thank you.
Your servant,
Rasika siromani dasi.

Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories
to Srila Prabhupada and
Srila Gurudeva.
Thank you for the devotees who responded. Just
a reminder that you have to pay for the rooms by July 19. We are
limiting to 75 devotees in our parikrama group, so please send your
details asap and reserve your spot.
Please find below the information to send money
for the room charges in Vrindavan.
If you are in USA, please send a check in favour
of 'Renuka Radhakrishnan'(my legal name) and send it to 22786, SE
13th Ln, Sammamish, WA 98075
If you are in India, please send check/DD in favour
of 'Yadram Sharma'(Vrindavan Bihari Prabhu's legal name, who will
be actually booking the rooms in Vrindavan) and send it to
295, Sant Colony Parikrama Marg,
Near (M.P) Sakshi Maharaja,
Ramanreti, Vrindavan, Mathura, (U.P)
281121
Please also send me email when you send money to Vrindavan Bihari
Prabhu so that I can make a note of it.
If you are located somewhere else, there are 2
options to send me money. Option 1 : Wire Transfer to my bank account.
But you have to pay the wire transfer fees. So I would suggest to
use this option if many people are going to send the money together,
so that its cheap
Option 2 : Using Paypal. Paypal also charges some
commission, which is a percentage of the amount you are sending.
I would suggest to use this option if you are sending money by yourself.
Please make sure you send extra money so that it would cover the
commission.

Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories
to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.
Srila Gurudeva has mercifully decided to take us
all on parikramas in Kartik. He will be doing the parikramas with
His Holiness BB Govinda Maharaj. Sri Prahlad Prabhu will also be
joining. Following is the schedule
24th October - Vrindavan parikrama begins
31st October - Vrindavan Parikrama ends
1st November - Madan Mohan, Gopinath, Govindadev darshan
2nd November - Jaipur
3rd November - Travel to Rishikesh
7th November - Return from Rishikesh to Vrindavan
Though the parikrama finishes on 7th, there will
be bhajans every evening in BB Govinda Maharaja’s house from November
7 – 14.
To manage things easier, Gurudev would prefer to
have a maximum of 75 devotees in his group. So its on a first come,
first serve basis. If you would like to join this parikrama, please
send me an email with these details
Name :
Address :
How many adults and kids accompanying you :
Dates of parikrama you would be joining :
As usual, everyone has to pay for their rooms,
Prasadam and transportation.
HH Radhanath Maharaja is doing parikrama at the
same time in Vrindavan with thousands of devotees. Their group has
booked most of the rooms in Vrindavan. Only rooms available now
are in Ananda Krishna Van. 3 people in a room costs Rs. 1200 per
day and 5 people in a room costs Rs.1700 per day. If you want to
book these rooms, you need to make full payment within the next
10 days and no refunds would be provided. This is just to avoid
cases where devotees ask us to reserve the rooms but then end up
not taking it due to some reasons and we have to pay the full amount
later. We will also let you know how to make the payment for the
rooms.
Alternative is you can make your own arrangements
for accomodation in Vrindavan. But just note that this might not
be easy as most of the rooms are already booked by HH Radhanath
Maharaja's group.
We will let you know soon regarding travel to Jaipur,
room charges in Jaipur, travel to Rishikesh, room charges in Rishikesh
and return to Vrindavan.
Please pass this to other god-brothers, god-sisters
who are not part of this group.
Hope many of you would be able to come for the
parikramas to get the valuable association of Srila Gurudeva and
Govinda Maharaja in the holy dhams!
Your servant,
Rasika siromani dasi.
