To All Devotees of the Hungarian Yatra

Letter on 10 May, 1988

To All Devotees of the Hungarian Yatra,

Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I wanted to thank you all for the very wonderful stay I had in Budapest in the month of April/May. The highlight of Lord Nrsimhadeva’s Appearance Day and our initiation ceremony gave me great inspiration that things are developing nicely in our yatra.

We should always have great faith in Srila Prabhupada’s vision and desire to spread Krsna consciousness all over the world. Practically we are seeing that in every country, regardless of race, creed or cultural background, people are taking to the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. So this is a wonderful opportunity for you all to perfect your lives. The process is very simple. Chant Hare Krsna, take Krsna-prasadam and hear about Krsna from Bhagavad-gita and other such books. In this way you will be happy in this life and go back to Godhead in the next.

I am looking forward to meeting you all again and hope that upon my return we may continue to associate together, for that is the real essence of spiritual life.

Hoping this meets you all in the best of health and Krsna consciousness.

I remain,

Your ever well-wisher in the service of Srila Prabhupada,

Sivarama Swami
