47. Thank You!
 All the work you have seen so far has been done with
minimal facilities. So much more could be done with
sufficient funding.
 We need to become art conscious! As Vasudeva
Prabhu has so eloquently pointed out, the arts are
inseparable from devotional life.
 We have the power to create a cultural wonderland
in Mayapur in accordance with the wishes of Srila
Prabhupada. With your blessings!
