My dear Janardan,
Please accept my blessings. I thank you
for your letter of April 27, 1967 and have
noted the contents care fully. My first instruction
to you is that you must pass your
M.A. Examination before any other consideration.
Your degree will be a great asset for
the society in the near future. So this is your
first consideration. Regarding returning the
money you do not bother much. Your good
wife gave in loan to the society $300.00 and
she must have the money returned. So do
not bother about it. The society will return
the money to N. Y. conveniently. There is no
immediate necessity.
Regarding my Canadian Visa, I shall
go to Montreal when you are confident of
getting it there. Otherwise I shall lose the
U. S.A. Visa also. So conveniently you try
to get information from the right source
and the best thing will be to get me as a
teacher as you suggested in your previous
letter. So far I am personally concerned
either I remain here or there my business
is to chant the glories of Lord Krishna.
Wherever I get chance to chant is good for
me. I have no idea for sight seeing in any
country because I know that all land belong
to Krishna and anywhere I remain I
remain at His Lotus Feet. But if you think
my presence in Montreal will be good for
the Branch there I am prepared to go there
any moment you ask me to go at all risk
even if I am bereft of the U.S. visa. I do
not mind it. Offer my blessing to all devo-

My dear Shyamasundar,
Please accept my blessings. I am in
due receipt of your letter of April 28,
1967 , and thank you for returning the
check. For the balance eight books you
can send me your check conveniently,
there is no hurry.
It is so pleasing to me that you are giving
service to Krishna by your intelligence,
by your body, by your mind.
Everything is very nice and this will make
you more and more progressive in understanding
Krishna Consciousness. I think
you are feeling and understanding how
you are making progress and I am very
glad to see it. I am also very much satisfied
to see you have got a good companion,
your wife Malati. She is very nice. I
have received her letter, please convey my
blessings unto her. I know that you are not
much for writing letters but you are much
for work. This is very good proposal.
Make the Rathayatra Festival very great
success. This will be a great introduction
in your city and people will appreciate it
and if we can introduce successfully this
Rathayatara Festival not only in San Francisco
but also in New Yo rk and also in
Montreal, then it will be a great success of
my mission in this country.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta, Swami
