Money owned from sales of YAMUNA DEVI book will go towards re-printing the remaining books by Padmalochan Das: PADA SEVANA, CHINTAMANI DHAMA, AUDARYA DHAMA, GITA MAHATMYA.
This printing edition of YAMUNA DEVI book is also a tribute to a friend, Madhava Prema Das, an artist, who left his body 40 days after my husband, Padmalochan Das... they had a strong connection, which is difficult to explain. The picture of personification of Yamuna Devi on the front cover is Madhava Prema's art, which he presented to my husband in 1997.
Madhava Prema Das (1955-2010, Latvia) - artist, poet, architect. Became devotee in 1982, was one of the first devotees in formal USSR. He actively distributed Srila Prabhupada's books. 1996-2001 lived and served in Sri Dham Mayapur. From 1997 MP with his wife Audarya Dhama Dasi were doing architectural research for setting the general architectural style for the new spiritual town of Sri Mayapur. They have studied the old, traditional Bengali architecture, art, culture, history, by traveling all over the West Bengal (visited about 100 towns and villages), and made about 3000 photos of old brick Temples of different styles. They also started working on collecting materials for the future "Bengali Art Museum". After their return to Latvia they published a book "Terracotta Temples of West Bengal".
Hare Krishna,
your servant,
Vrindavan Lila Dasi
