in Tirumala Tirupati. I saw the unparalleled
dedication and worship of the three Lords of
Vaikuntha by thousands of Their devotees.

All three experiences have inspired me. They
have served as guiding lights in my life’s journey.
I read and teach the Bhagavad-gita, the sacred
words of Lord Krishna every day. With the
invaluable help of many sincere devotees, I was
able to build a wonderful temple to glorify their
Supreme Lordships Sri Sri Radha Krishna, Sita
and Rama, Prahlad Nrisimha and Gaura Nitai.
Now my heartfelt desire is to bring together
all the devotees in the Seattle area to build a
wonderful temple for Sri Balaji, Ranganath and
Varadaraj. I aspire to see Their opulent worship
with the bhava (spiritual ecstatic feelings) of
bhakti, pure love and devotion as manifested
by Goda devi, Andal. She was the only female
among the Alvar saints of South India.

I pray we may join together and embrace the
new glorious Bellevue temple which houses
Their Lordships and Their eternal consorts.
Your humble servant, Harivilas das
