360 Letters from Srfla Prabhuptida
preaching God-consciousness, and building
up their character by strict moral principles.
Therefore, these students cannot
be called for fighting. By temperament
they are unfit for fighting, because they
are being trained to become perfect Brahmins.
The business of the Brahmins is to
teach people spiritual education. Fighting
is means for the Kshatriyas. Therefore ,
we must find out some means for protecting
our students in future to save them
from this unnecessary botheration. You
should consult a suitable lawyer in connection
with this matter, and do the needful.
We can submit a copy of the remark
made by a judge of a court here, in relation
to the imprisonment of one of our students,
Upendra das , in which the man
said, "Be lenient with this boy, as he belongs
to an established religious organization,
which is doing much to combat
against drug-addiction, and to promote
the general health and welfare of the
young people." (These are not the exact
words, but we are presently awaiting a
certified letter from the judge saying in essence,
this statement.) And as minister of
the association, I can give certificate that
all my students are ecclesiastical. They
are neither fighting men, nor mercantile
people, so they cannot be called for fighting
for unnecessary waste of time and
valuable energy. In this connection, the
caste system of the Hindus, in which
Kshatriyas are trained up for fighting
from the very beginning, in martial spirit.
They are fighting with young men recruited
from the sudra class, enforced to
fighting; so there is a gulf of difference .
Anyway, Krishna will save Adwaita. You
just take help of the psychiatrist.
For the cable adress, I think "ISO­
KRISHNA" will be very nice. This means
the All-Attractive Supreme Personality of
Godhead. I think this will be nice, and
within the limit of letters. If it is required
to reduce the number of letters, the "I"
and "H" in Krishna can be deleted-only
if necessary, making it become
"ISOKRSNA."
So far thosebooks are concerned, I
shall see to cutting out the illustrations
you mentioned when I come there. I do
not remember, but so far I know, they are
not very authorized pictures. Please tell
Jadurany of this . They were presented to
me by the authors in exchange for my presenting
them with some of my books . But
they are not authorized.
So far the order of photos in the Teachings
of Lord Chaitanya is concerned, they
should go like this: My photo, Guru Maharaj
's photo, Srila Gour Kishore, Srila
Bhaktivinode, Lord Chaitanya, and lastly,
Lord Chaitanya's Birthplace. For Lord
Chaitanya's photo, you may use a photo­
graph of one of Jadurany 's recent paintings
of Pancha Tattwa. The other five
pictures will be with the reading matter.
Two pairs of the kartals may be with
Achutananda. The beads has to be sanctified,
I shall do that when I come there.
Keep them until then. For chanting on
them, they must be sanctified.
There is no need of Krishna devi 's address.
She is here and I have seen her, so
the matter is ended.
Please send a copy of my lshopanishad
as soon as possible. I believe it is lying in
the care of Rayarama. We shall have to arrange
for publishing it in a nice booklet
just like the Two Essays, and Easy Journey.
Please see about how to do it. It will
be nice for our classroom instructions in
Krishna Consciousness, in the colleges.
We are beginning instructions weekly in
San Francisco State College, and there is
prospect of having an accredited course to
teach beginning next September. This is a
very good opportunity.
I want to sit down tightly with some assistants,
and spend the rest of my time
translating Srimad Bhagwatam, and other
books. And train students to do preaching
