educational or Indian Government service
in the Embassy. Therefore there is
very little hope to get from them any substantial
help fo r the proposed temple construction
which will require some
millions of dollars. But if the Americans
take the matter very seriously there are
many Foudations one of them alone can
contribute such amount.
I have therefore very recently incorporated
one organisation very recently
(within a fortnight past) under the name of
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR
KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS (Incorporated
in U.S.A.) The Trustees of this
organisation are all American gentlemen
headed by one of the leading lawyers of
New York Mr. Steven J. Goldsmith B.Sc.
M.A.B.L. who comes regularly in my
weekly classes and chants the Mahamantra
very devoutly.
Now the chance for preaching the cult
of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the western
countries like America and Europe is
practically established and if the organisation
is properly managed I am sure there
will be no dearth of financial facilities
from the American citizens. But still I
think this organisation should have cooperation
from all countries of the world
specially of lndia and more specially from
the Goudiya Vaisnavas who are pledged to
take the responsibility of preaching
Chaitanya cult in every village and town of
the world. I am therefore inviting the first
cooperation from my Godbrothers in this
great adventure. I am very much hopeful
of success of the attempt and I am seeking
your good consultation if it is possible to
have full sympathetic cooperation of my
Godbrothers in India in this adventure.
Sriman Brahmachary Mangalniloy has already
agreed to come here to assist me
fully but I wish that each and every one of
the different Goudiya Math organisations
may kindly send one person respectively
to work under my direction in these for-
1966 109
eign countries and thus become individually
a member of the international
organisation abovementioned. The qualification
of such intending candidates must
be that he must be able to speak in English
or be well versed in playing Khola or singing.
If one is qualified with all the above
qualifications it is very good otherwise he
must be qualified at least one of them. So
far their coming here I shall take all the responsibility
for passage and maintenance.
Would kindly consider this proposal immediately
and let me know your decision
perreturn of post?

for this cooperation programme. Srila
Prabhupada wanted us to do everything in
complete cooperation and thus I am inclined
to have full cooperation in this
great attempt of preaching in the foreign
coutries. All the camps of our various
camps may at least cooperate in the matter
of special activities and I may be able to
provide any number of men who may be
now inclined to come here and work under
my direction. There is great possibility
of Lord Chaitanya 's cult being
preached amongst the younger section of
the Americans and some of them are hearing
me very seriously to accept the philosophy.
Our men in the ideal line of
activities chalked out by Srila Prabhupada
will be great help to me and the persons
who are now seriously attending my
classes.
Awaiting to hear from you as early as
possible with the list names of the persons
who will come here from different
camps.
I am asking people here to practice
Krishna consciousness through music
dance philosophy science religion and
distribution of Prasadam. I am asking
them to become freed from all sorts of
anxieties by practicing the transcendental
sound vibration of Hare Krishna Hare
