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

the newspaperman. Yes, you must now be
careful so that people may not misunderstand
us to be a second edition of the hippy
movement. What is done in the past to advertise
us is already done. Now we should
work solidly to attention of important
men, and try to make them understand
that this movement is the most authorized
scientific agitation to invoke man's dormant
Krishna Consciousness. I completely
support your idea about the
preaching method . We are not lacking in
philosophy-by the grace of Krishna we
have got ample stock to answer anybody's
intricate philosophical questions. There is
no necessity of stopping questioners by
dogmatic statements as it was done in the
beginning. I have every hope in you because
you are educated and have understood
the philosophy completely. You
should try to get another newspaper article
out explaining the real scientific position
of our movement.
I am very anxious to go to Montreal.
Therefore you must try your best to get my
immigration visa on the basis of my being
na authorixed Vaishnav minister, based on
Srimad Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagawatam.
I hop you have got the copies of
my certificates in this connection. If not
you can get the same immediately from
N.Y. of S.F. centers. I wish that either
from Canada or U.S. I should get my visa
for free movement.
Regarding the incidence that took
place on Janmastami day immediately
send the following gentleman a copy of
your grievance.* (see next page)
Pandit Ram Nath Kalia, Secretary
Vishwa Hindu Dharam Sammelan,

It is understood that this man has got
some connections with members of parliament
& he can help us in raising this
question in the Indian Parliament House.
SEPTEMBER, 1967 217
You should tell him that you are forwarding
same under my instructions. Do not
enter into correspondence with this man
without my consent. The man is a politician
and according to Chankyia, a politician
& a woman are never to be trusted.
Regarding Easy Journey. I may inform
you that whatever is written there is authoritative.
The information contained in
EJ is contained in various Vedic literaturies.
In Bagavad Gita as well as in Srimad
Bhagwatam it is clearly indicated that beyond
this visible space there is another
spiritual space which is eternally existant.
Modern astronomers & scientists have no
information of the extent of this visible
space. And what can they speak of what is
beyond this visible space? Therefore our
movement is novel. God is living, He has
got a particular place & anyone who is
Godconscious can approach it in this very
life. One of our students, Brahmananda,
appreciated very much this discovery. He
wrote to me a letter that my delivery of
this information has given them life-that
God is not only alive, but that we can go &
live with Him. So what is applicable to
Brahmananda is applicable to all sincere
souls & we have to present this to the
whole world very nicely.
I am very glad that your wife Mona is
gradually understanding Krishna Consciousness.
Women are generally less
intelligent. Give her time & scope & she
will turn out a very good assistant for
your life. Convey my blessings for her.
Your ever well-wisher
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
