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

have plainly told me like that. It has certainly
given me a great sock. He is one of
my very faithful disciples and if he does
like that how can I prosecute my programmes.
I have received one post card
from him from London AirPort in which
he writes that he is going directly to N.Y. I
understand also from Woomapati 's letter
that he has already reached New Yo rk although
I have not heard anything from
him from New York. It is all my misfortune.
I am so glad to learn that you have secured
a nice job. Please accept it and do
the job very faithfully and try to inject
Krishna consciousness amongst the students.
I hope the Dentist's business with
you has successfully been done. Your plan
for starting an Indian philosophical society
amongst your students is very good for
propagating Krishna consciousness.
Wherever you may remain please do not
forget Krishna Kirtan and it will do good
to you and your friends. Now I am quite fit
to start for your country. The best thing
would have been to go this time with a permanent
Visa. Kirtanannada met the
U.S.A. Consul general and he knows
what to do in this connection. Ifl go with a
permanent Visa it will be very nice for
me. Please do the needful in cooperation
with your other god brothers as also Mr.
Nehru the Ambassador whom Brahmananda
might have met by this time.
My Dear Devananda,
Please accept my blessings, Your nice
letter with deep regard for Guru is quite
appropriate. Guru and Krishna are two
parallel lines on which the spiritual express
runs very smoothly. In the Chaitanya
Charitamrita it is said "Guru Krishna
prasade payae bhakti lata vija. " By the
Grace of Guru one gets Krishna and by the
Grace of Krishna one gets a bonafide
Guru. Therefore Krishna consciousness
means staunch faith both in Guru and

Krishna. One minus the other is no good
for the devotee. So your faith in the principles
of devotion to Guru will certainly
help you more and more Krishna. Do not
ever try to approach Krishna directly.
Anyone who talks of Krishna without service
to Guru will not be successful. So
your faith in Guru and Krishna simultaneously
will help you to become crowned
with success in the progressive march in
Krishna consciousness. Do not be worried,
be situated in the present aptitude
and everything will be clear.

My dear Brahmananda,
Please accept blessings. I have not
heard from you since a long time. I hope
everything is going on nicely. I think the
Macmillan transaction is not successful.
Please therefore send one copy of the
Geetopanishad MSS as instructed above.
Let me begin the printing immediately as
we have waited so much time. I am now fit
to return back but I shall be glad to return
with permanent Visa. I am going to Calcutta
to visit Lord Chaitanya's birthplace
and next letter may be addressed

If you have collected the contribution
from different centers, you can pay Achyutananda's
mother $88.00. This amount
was taken from him on ale ofKirtananda's
ticket. Kirtanananda should return to you
$20.00 which he took from me on the plea
of stopping at London. I am feeling too
much for his disobedience. ACB
My dear Gargamuni,
Please accept my greetings on your recovery

for the Society nicely. My blessings for
Karunamayee also. By separate post I am
