New Talavan: Everyone Safe and Unhurt

From Dasanudas Vanacari

Posted Sept 2, 2005

Dear Devotees,

Hare Krsna!

The latest pictures and video of the farm are on our website at http://www.newtalavana.org/albums/

Thank you for all your concern and help. We are overwhelmed and cannot always answer your emails. But that doesn't mean we don't care. We just have a lot of pressing concerns right now to manage our community. Tomorrow Ramakeli Prabhu is going to Jackson to arrange for supplies for the devotees. We are getting some help from Food For Life also. So by Krsna's grace everything is working out.

Thanks and appreciation from dipika.org to our sponsor and host,

Everyone on the farm is safe and unhurt. Please don't worry. We just heard that Mohanasini and Mahendranath are OK and the boat is safe. They are in Memphis. So by Krsna's mercy, everything is turning out well for the devotees. For many others the news is not so good.

People who are not here cannot properly appreciate the scale of this disaster. It is the biggest in the United States since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake—maybe bigger. The final death toll may be 50,000 or more.

The Gulf Coast community is completely shattered. People in Picayune are having gunfights over water and gasoline. Heavily armed gangs are looting everything in sight in New Orleans, and FEMA has halted evacuations until the National Guard can restore order—they don't want to jeopardize their men.

So we remain your humble servants in New Talavan,
