The temporary roof repair is almost complete. Tattva Darshana and Jagadishvara Prabhus have been working diligently to effect the necessary repairs.

We have been able to stop the leak near Srila Prabhupada’s alter and have, through the process of elimination, identified the source of the other two leaks. The water is actually coming through the domes, especially around the lotus tops. We are using a very high-tech sealant to stop the leaks without affecting the black and gold ornamentation.

The drain areas have been opened up to allow for better removal of water and we will be installing heat tape to keep the ice from building up this winter.

All in all, we are under budget for this project and will have it concluded before winter sets in.

The old ghee plant has been cleaned out by Vaisnava Prabhu with only a few hard piped appliances remaining. A contract was signed with Kayafus Architects to provide a design  and blueprints for the renovation of the ghee plant into the new Palace gift shop. The initial concept drawing has been provided along with a budget.

Devotees with the necessary skills can apply to Gopisa das for hiring on this project. We will need carpenters, concrete workers, metal fabricators, roofers and electricians.

While working on the domes and front steps,  we noticed that the concrete appeared to be weakened in some areas. With that realization, we will be speaking with a structural engineer to determine the overall condition of the Palace concrete sub-structure so we can plan accordingly.

We will be meeting with Gus Kayafus on Monday, Dec 12^th  to speak about the concrete issue, meet with two masonry companies that are bidding on the repair of the front steps and make plans for the gift shop renovations.

Srila Prabhupada Ki Jaya!

Exciting news from the cow protection front.

Ranaka Prabhu did happily buy two Brown Swiss cows last Saturday via telephone during an  auction held in Wisconsin. They are bred heifers both over two years old.  One is due to freshen (have a calf) in a few weeks and the other in February.

A donor has supported the acquisition of both cows. His children will name the cows.

They are due to arrive early next week.

Your servant,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve revamped my professional web site at:

http://sacredvoices.com/site/

Please take a look. And if you have twitter or Facebook,  you might pass this on  to attract more folks to the site.  Thanks so much.

Here are few of my projects at NV:

1) I usually offer Krsna Katha – dramatic storytelling for visitors to New Vrindavan (NV) on most Saturdays at 6 PM in the temple

2) Upon request I offer a special tour to my front lawn where Srila Prabhupada gave dharsana each night during his last visit to NV (he stayed in that house where I reside near the Palace of Gold) and speak about his four visits to NV.

3) Host student groups visiting NV

4) Speak at colleges on Krishna Consciousness and the history of the Hare Krishna Movement (will be at Denison University in Ohio later this week)

5) In Search of Story – A workshop that helps people explore their life’s journey.

6) An all day retreat at NV taking a look at the ancient Vedic stories and what they mean in our lives

7) Working on Mahabharata manuscript and will self publish it and have it available this coming summer.

Hare Krishna & May all be well,

Sankirtana das

PS: I also have a blog www.nytsanga.blogspot.com and history of NV at www2.hanover.edu/newvrindavan
