Acknowledgments

First of all, I wish to thank Srila Prabhupada, because his teachings have inspired me throughout all these years—especially in the service of the goshala.

A special thanks to Madhavi Devi Dasi for taking my collection of memories and notes, organizing them into a coherent narrative, and shaping them into this book.

I also want to thank Bhakti Gauravani Goswami Maharaja for editing the text, designing the book, translating it into English, and overseeing its production and printing.

My gratitude also goes to my friend Tirtha, whose music has always supported this project—with Cows in Love, by recording albums, joining the festivals, the parikramas… in everything he could.

And finally, hearƞelt thanks to all the devotees and visitors who shared their memories. They make it possible for these stories to live on, not only in remembrance.

With all my heart, Arjuna Dasa
