Captain Cook, Hawaii
My dear Balbhadra das,
Please accept my blessings. I thank you for your kind offering of some of the honey you produce at your honey farm. As you know, I have requested the devotees here to construct one beautiful temple on the grounds in order that many people may come from all around and see the gorgeous worship of the Deities. It is a big project and will require so much capital. So if possible you can
atah pumbhir dvija srestha
varnasrama vibhagasah, svanusthi tasya dharmasya samsiddhir hari tosanam [SB 1.2.13] "O best among the twiceborn, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve, by discharging his prescribed duties (dharma) according to caste divisions and order of life, is to please the Lord Hari.''
I hope that this meets you in good health.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/pks
