you what to do <strong>in</strong> this connection. So I<br />

have full faith <strong>in</strong> you and you can determ<strong>in</strong>e<br />

as <strong>Krishna</strong> speaks with<strong>in</strong> your heart.<br />

Regard<strong>in</strong>g Hayagriva and Kirtananda,<br />

if they come aga<strong>in</strong> we should accommodate<br />

them and should not cont<strong>in</strong>ue the<br />

misunderstand<strong>in</strong>g that has been eng<strong>in</strong>eered<br />

. I th<strong>in</strong>k Hayagriva is anxious <strong>in</strong><br />

hav<strong>in</strong>g his name pr<strong>in</strong>ted <strong>in</strong> the publication<br />

of Geetopanishad. I do not have any objections<br />

that his name may be mentioned<br />

as one of the editors help<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the edit<strong>in</strong>g<br />

of Geetopanisad, just to encourage him<br />

and keep him <strong>in</strong> our camp, <strong>in</strong> case that he<br />

may come back and accept our philoso­<br />

phy and resume his edit<strong>in</strong>g talent. He has<br />

committed a blunder, but just so that he<br />

may be encouraged to come back you may<br />

mention his name also along with Rayra­<br />

ma's. He is not so conv<strong>in</strong>ced of his impersonalist<br />

philosophy. It is only due to<br />

Kirtananda's <strong>in</strong>fluence that he has left us.<br />

Yes, please send the $500.00 to the<br />

United Shipp<strong>in</strong>g Co. as I have <strong>in</strong>structed.<br />

When you go to India you may see the<br />

manager of Sc<strong>in</strong>dia and talk with her with<br />

the letter of <strong>in</strong>troduction that I shall give<br />

you. It is my decision that you do not leave<br />

until the MacMillan agreement is completed.<br />

Your idea of manufactur<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>cense<br />

<strong>in</strong> one center is my idea also. Here<br />

<strong>in</strong> S.F. Gargamuni has told me that he is<br />

arrang<strong>in</strong>g for it to be produced. From here<br />

all the temples will be supplied, not that<br />

every temple should make it.<br />

I have received the Dwark<strong>in</strong> and Sons<br />

letter. I have not received any letter <strong>from</strong><br />

Achyutananda as of yet so please wait till I<br />

have received a letter before you write<br />

him.<br />

Your ever well wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />

P. S. Please deliver MSS. to Mls M&Co.<br />

as much as already complete.<br />

for <strong>Krishna</strong>; that way you will always be<br />

happy.<br />

To answer you question regard<strong>in</strong>g<br />

your names: Balai is the name of Baladev,<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong>'s elder brother. His wife is called<br />

Balai dasi, or His girlfiriend is called Balai<br />

dasi. Baladev is not different <strong>from</strong><br />

<strong>Krishna</strong>. He is first expansion <strong>from</strong><br />

<strong>Krishna</strong>. All the <strong>in</strong>carnations and expansions<br />

beg<strong>in</strong> <strong>from</strong> Baladev. Leelasuka is<br />

name of Bilvamangal Thakur; this Bilvamangal<br />

Thakur was a great devotee of<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong> and he wrote a famous book<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong> Kamamrita, recognized by Lord<br />

Chaitanya . Kanchanbala was one of the<br />

Gopies <strong>in</strong> the association of <strong>Krishna</strong>. Indira<br />

was also one of the Gopies <strong>in</strong> the association<br />

of <strong>Krishna</strong>. Ekayani was the<br />

wife of a great sage who was <strong>in</strong> the Satya<br />

Yuga when all persons were paramhansas<br />

or liberated persons. Ekayani's husband<br />

was a liberated person.<br />

Hope you are well .<br />

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />
