146 Letters from Srfla Prabhuptida
Regarding the house, you are already
in trouble. The best thing is to stop this
strain. Mr. Lerner told me that Mr. Hill
has no sufficient money to purchase the
house. I definitely instructed you if Mr.
Hill enterns into agreement with Mr. Taylor
it is then only you could hand over the
check of $5000.00 to Mr. Hill or his
agent. But you have not followed my in­
struction and now you are in trouble. If
Mr. Hill has no money to purchase the
house then his accepting our check is
clear case of cheating. So immediately enquire
if Mr.Hill has at all money to pur­
chase cash from Mr. Taylor. If not
immediately demand back the check otherwise
consult our good lawyers and file a
cheating case. We cannot forego this
cheating conspiracy, if Mr. Hill has no
money. He must either deliver the possession
of the house immediately or must return
the money immediately or file
cheating case against all the combined
group namely Mr. Payne , Mr. Hill and
Mr. Palmer. I do not know what is actual
case but from the telephonic conversation
of Brahmananda it appears to be an organised
cheating case and you have to face
with courage without excusing any one of
them. We are not revengeful but we can­
not lose Krishna's money for nothing.
Brahmananda has asked me whether
San Francisco Branch will pay some
money for purchasing the house. But
where is your house and where is the purchase?
So far it is talks of Mr. Payne and
company in which you innocent boys have
been entrapped. I do not know how I can
help in great blunder. I can only hope that
Krishna will help you.
Howard wants one of the Mimeograph
machine here so that copies of Back to
Godhead required here may be printed
here. What is the weight of the machine
and what will be cost of transport charges.
I think you can spare one machine for San
Francisco and charge cost of it.
Please ask Rayrama to get back the
first chapter of Geetopanisad from the
publisher. I have asked this several times
but there is no reply. I shall be glad to hear
from you about all the points mentioned
therein.
Ever well wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My dear Sri Krishnaji,
Please accept my greetings. I beg to
acknowledge receipt of your letter of the
16th March 1967 and with great difficulty
I could guess only 75% of the hindi writ­
ing. There is no body here who can read
Hindi. Any way I have got the summary of
the letter and the immediate issue is that
the room must be cleansed and I may inform
you that as soon as I return to New
Yo rk on the 9th April 1967 evening, I shall
arrange to send the key for opening the
room at least for cleansing. The key is in
New Yo rk otherwise I would have sent it
immediately; sent it from here. But rest
assured that the room will be opened and
cleansed or vacated by the end of April
1967. Please do not be anxious. My reservation
by the United Air Line is already
booked on the 9th April and I am returning
there.
Regarding publication of my books,
you know that since I have come here the
work is stopped and that is great loss for
me. My primary duty is to publish the Srimad
Bhagavatam and finish it in my life.
But preaching in the western countries is
also my duty as it was ordered by my
Spiritual Master. I thought that I shall be
able to publish my books from America
but it is very much expensive: therefore I
have to get books published from India at
any cost. Sriman Surya Kumar Joshi B.A.
