Official News Release from Siberia mela

Hare Krishna, dear friends!

We’re happy to let You know, that the first vaishnava youth Kuli Mela festival took place in Tomsk (Siberia) from 3rd to 7th of July 2008. Filled with intoxicating kirtans, nectar association and selfless service, the occasion turned out to be really inspiring and uniting for young vaishnavas from all over the former Soviet Union. Guests from Tomsk, Moscow, Almaty, Novosibirsk, Novokuznetsk, Krasnoyarsk, Zheleznogorsk, Chernishevsk, Kemerovo, Ulan-Ude and many other regions attended the festival.

Sunanda Prabhu is looking for helpers inthe restaurant over the summer.

We are looking for some nice helpers here in our restaurant for the summer
season and perhaps you would know one or two who will attend the Kuli-Mela
later on. We pay 300 Euro a month for somebody who works six hours a day. If
somebody wants to work half time we will pay half. Prasadam included.

The tasks include everything from cleaning to serving the guests and taking
the payment. A basic understanding of preaching and prasadam distribution is
naturally an advantage.

Living facilities one will find in the Ashramas and they are for free.

If you will find somebody interested please write me back and I can answer
more detailed questions.

Thank you in advance !

We received 600 names from Kulimela in NV, and a further 300 people registered on the old website. We’ve compiled them into a single database (with much overlap), so now I’ve got to email the press release and tell everyone to register on the new site.. It’s a long job because sometimes these things get thrown into the spam box, so I try to keep the numbers down. I’ve even tried sending them all individually in the past, but that takes patience.

Hopefully you receive this, if not, apologies! perhaps it’s in the spam box. Or you’re not on the mailing list yet. Hopefully this is our last transition.

So we’re finally up and running… workshop groups, translation flow, volunteer groups, local reps… we’re getting the press release soon. I really hope people will use the website to it’s full extent, creating content, doing sign ups and adding comments etc. It’s been a tough single band job by KD and his brother and I can only say thanks!
