Acknowledgments

My sincere thanks and prayers for well-being go out to the following devotees for their selfless support of this publishing effort: Mathureśa dāsa and Gaṅgāgatī dāsī, deserve special mention for their generous financial support (including Volume 1 reprint).  

Dr. Charles R. Brooks,whose excellent book The Hare Krishna’s In India should, in my humble opinion, be required reading for all ISKCON devotees residing in Śrī Vṛndāvana-dhāma, kindly wrote the Foreword at short notice.  

Many thanks to Bhakta Barry Jennions, Bhakta Eisha Hori, Bhakta Matsuda, Īśvara dāsa, Kālasaṁvara dāsa & Jāmbavatī dāsī, Kānti dāsī & Jack Baldwin, Karṣna dāsa, Mandapa dāsa, Matsya Avatāra dāsa, Nareśvara dāsa, Pārtha dāsa, Prabha-viṣṇu Swami, Prāṇadā dāsī, Śacī-suta dāsa, Satyadeva dāsa, Sūrya-nārāyaṇa dāsa, and the management and following devotees at ISKCON Perth: Bhaktins Gita, Janine and Penny, Śivānanda dāsa, the Yong family and Yadavendra dāsa; who all gave valuable financial help. 

Belated thanks are also due to Rādhā-vinoda dāsa, Stoka Kṛṣṇa dāsa (San Francisco), and Trāṇa-kartā dāsa for their contributions to Volume 3. 

The editing for this volume was once again to the credit of Riktānanda dāsa (Teheran chapter) and Sītā dāsī. Mahāmāyā dāsī did the proofreading. Grahila dāsa made the general index and Yamarāja dāsa the cover. Locana dāsa did the drawings for the end covers and Kālindī dāsī helped with the maps. 

Thanks as always are due to the dedicated devotees at Bhaktivedanta Archives—Parama Rūpa dāsa, Ekanātha dāsa, Raṇajit dāsa, Dulāl Candra dāsa and Viṣṇu-mūrti dāsa.  

Nagarāja dāsa and Braja-bihari dāsa provided help with communications. 

I cannot begin to repay my wife Śītala dāsī for her dedication, support and life-saving assistance in the seven years of our union.  

Finally, during this Centennial year of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda, I want to offer my humble obeisances and thanks to the many other devotees who have provided support of one form or another for this project. Although I am unable to list them all, I pray that Śrīla Prabhupāda bless them more and more with his eternal service.
