I am sorry for the lack of info that has been reported on the Kazakhstan issue this last week.
In Delhi it was a slow week. We were trying to meet politicians prior to thier running off to parliament.Despite the fact that many people are aware of the issue, the Indian Government has not issued an official statement. This is primarily due to the composition of the political alliances in the present government.
In Kazakhstan representatives from the US, UK, and Dutch government met with the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss our issue. Still, the Kazakh Government is remaining intransient in it's position.
The Kazakh MFA reported that it has received the request of the OSCE, but state that,"we have been unfortunately too busy to comply."
The devotees are bravely going out on sankirtan for the marathon.
In a letter from a devotee received yesterday it was said:
"Please do not worry about us. We live as before. Everyone is busy doing his or her service, there is no time to become distracted. Nobody even notice the ruins any longer. Whatever may come to us in our lives, Krishna, the spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, and devotees remain with us, as they were before and will always be in the future."
Thus, the situation has not improved. We are in need of your prayers and ongoing support.
