March 16, 2008 Dear devotees at the Boston Temple,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Sri Sri Radha Gopi Vallabha! All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Guru & Gauranga.
This letter is to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those devotees who made my stay at the New Gundicha temple a blissful devotional experience. I arrived in Boston on Monday March 3rd, and left for Toronto on Thursday March 6th 2008.
I humbly request that this letter is made available to all those mentioned here in some form, so that my gratitude may reach them.
To Sri Gangambupada Dasa & Sri Acyuta Dasa, for communicating with me to setup my visit and making the necessary arrangements before my arrival.
To the temple management for letting me stay at the temple even though I am quite unqualified for this privilege.
To Krita Mala Mataji, who took care of my spiritual needs by being kind and understanding during the morning programs and showing me the way to participate and helping me take my first baby steps in the morning programs and some practical devotional service to the deities.
To Ravanari Dasa Prabhu, who is an ideal example of Pujari waking up early to serve their Lordships, and helped me feel at home with his warmth and friendliness.
To Kreso Prabhu, who served me Prasadam several times and talked to me about many interesting topics.
To Liladhara Dasa Prabhu, for his warmth.
To Mothers Yogamaya & Nanda Nandana dd, for making delicious offering and giving me an opportunity to taste Prasadam morning, noon, and night.
To Caitanya Bhagavat Dasa Prabhu, for his warmth and friendliness.
To Nitin Prabhu & his nice devotee friends, for including me in the Wednesday feast program and making me feel at home.
To Braj Bihari Dasa Prabhu from Vrindavan, who blessed me with a wonderful Bhagavatam lecture, and to Krita Mala Mataji for requesting him to give the lecture.
To other devotees who help to clean and maintain the temple, to devotees who render various different service.
Please, once again accept my deepest gratitude for helping me be close to Krishna in an otherwise materially charged conference visit.
Humbly, Milind

Hello again, I'd just like to thank you for being so helpful with my research paper. I attended the deity bathing ceremony last Friday at the temple and it was wonderful. Everyone was very welcoming and I enjoyed the new experience.
