1/6/73 CALCUTTA – MRS. NIRMALA SINGHAL I have just now come to Mäyäpur and am very hopeful to regain my strength and health on account of being in this transcendental atmo- sphere. Every moment we are passing here in great delight. 8/6/73 MÄYÄPUR – KARÄNDHARA DÄSA Yes, in Mäyäpur I am much improved from how I was in Los Angeles. The great advantage here is that there is always open air and a good breeze which is naturally very good for any breathing difficulties. Cer- tainly Mäyäpur is by far a better place than Los Angeles because you can enjoy the free air here … The climate is too hot, but a little moist with humidity but on the whole it is very pleasing. Our building is most super-excellently situated, and it is the experience of many respect- able outsiders that while the outer atmosphere is unbearably hot, in our building it is pleasing. JAYAPATÄKÄ MAHÄRÄJA – LITTLE DROPS of NECTAR On arriving once in Mäyäpur, Prabhupäda entered his quarters, leaned back in his seat, and relaxed with his legs on his desk. He then drank from his water glass. “Ah, Mäyäpur water,” he said. He then related how Mäyäpur is the spiritual kingdom and that living and dying in Mäyäpur is the same. He said that if you live in Mäyäpur, then you are living in the spiritual world, and that if you die in Mäyäpur, then you go back to the spiritual world.
