To Vipramukhya Swami
By Santiparayana dasa

Dear Swamiji,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I read with interest the complaint someone expressed about the way that they perceive you conducting your service, along with your response. Thanks for being candid enough to post it. I don’t believe I have ever had the pleasure to meet you personally, so my only connection is through Chakra. Consequently, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on personal behavior about which I have no knowledge. I would like, however, to express my appreciation for all the work you are doing by providing this website. 

I am very grateful that there are those within the movement that have the aptitude and are willing to spend the time and energy necessary to take advantage of this internet technology. Additionally, I was unaware that you traveled so extensively. If you ever get a chance, please visit us here in Hawaii. Our fossil-like devotees could surely benefit from the association of a happy-go-lucky Vaisnava. Perhaps you could bring us up to technological speed as well. Besides, if you visit, then we would be in a better position to respond to such complaints.

Keep up the good service.

Your servant,
Santiparayana dasa
