Letters from Srila Prabhupada Vol.1 1947-1969 (in pdf) - Krishna Path

your sincere activities are being appreciated
by the Lord from within and He is
dictating you all for advancement of
Krishna Consciousness. I hope that I may
be able to go to San Francisco on July 5th,
and from there if I get my permanent visa
I shall go to Vancouver where there is
every possibility of opening a new branch.
There is a friend who is prepared to cooperate,
and I understand that there are
many Indians also. From Vancouver I
may come to Montreal, perform the opening
ceremony of installation of Radha­
Krishna Vigraha. Then I may go back to
India for six months, as there is a program
for construction of an American house for
training preachers at Vrindaban. Vrindaban
is the only solitary transcendental

abode within this universe where Krishna
Consciousness automatically reveals.
Therefore I have a great hope to train
some of my disciples for preaching work,
even in my absence. I am now old man,
and attacked with serious disease; I may
be overcome by death at any moment.
Therefore I wish to leave some trained
preachers so that they can do the work of
Krishna Consciousness in the western
world. That is my ambition. I hope you all
pray to Krishna so I may be able to execute
my duty properly.
Thanking you all for your nice advancement.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
