Regard<strong>in</strong>g your personal sentiments<br />

not be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> agreement with Woomapati: I<br />

am very sorry that this th<strong>in</strong>g has happened.<br />

We are preach<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Krishna</strong> Consciousness,<br />

the greatest platform of<br />

harmony, and if we dissent amongst ourselves,<br />

and disunite, it doesn't look very<br />

well . You are s<strong>in</strong>ceremost servant of<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong>. I know that you have worked<br />

very good for <strong>Krishna</strong>. I th<strong>in</strong>k you should<br />

not be disturbed by m<strong>in</strong>or disagreement.<br />

If you th<strong>in</strong>k that you cannot agree with<br />

Woomapati, you can stop discuss<strong>in</strong>g with<br />

him, and if there is any po<strong>in</strong>t of judgment,<br />

you can refer to me. I am always at your<br />

service. So long we are <strong>in</strong>dividual souls,<br />

there must be disagreement also, because<br />

that is the symptom of <strong>in</strong>dividuality. But<br />

when such <strong>in</strong>dividual is surrendered unto<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong>, there should not be any disagreement.<br />

Of course, Subal is work<strong>in</strong>g alone,<br />

and he is do<strong>in</strong>g very nice to his best capacity,<br />

but if you want to go there, I have<br />

no objection because it will be a great help<br />

to Subal. But I know also that much depends<br />

on you about the L.A. temple, and I<br />

am afraid if you go, the temple <strong>in</strong> L.A.<br />

may suffer. Therefore, I would advise that<br />

you should consult with Mukunda about<br />

this because he is very calm and<br />

coolheaded boy, and then decide whether<br />

to go to Santa Fe or not. I am writ<strong>in</strong>g separately<br />

to Mukunda also, as well as to<br />

Woomapati <strong>in</strong> this connection, and I wish<br />

to know why there is disagreement. There<br />

cannot be any disagreement <strong>in</strong> discharge<br />

of duties <strong>in</strong> <strong>Krishna</strong> Consciousness.<br />

I am leav<strong>in</strong>g for Montreal on June 3rd,<br />

1968, at 11:00 a.m. and you know Montreal<br />

address so that you can reply this letter<br />

there. Aga<strong>in</strong> I say that don't be agitated<br />

on some flimsy ground but cooperate on<br />

the platform of <strong>Krishna</strong> Consciousness.<br />

Hope this will f<strong>in</strong>d you all right.<br />

Your ever well-wisher<br />

My Dear Mukunda,<br />

Please accept my bless<strong>in</strong>gs. I am <strong>in</strong><br />

due receipt of your recommendation for<br />

<strong>in</strong>itiation to Stanley, whose name is now<br />

Sachisuta. In the meantime, I have received<br />

another letter <strong>from</strong> Aniruddha that<br />

he is <strong>in</strong> disagreement with Woomapati. I<br />

do now know what is the basis of this disagreement,<br />

but when you are there, I request<br />

you to see to the matter and try to<br />

mitigate their illusory disagreement.<br />

Even there is disagreement, the platform<br />

should be <strong>Krishna</strong> Consciousness, and <strong>in</strong><br />

that platform if there is disagreement<br />

there is no <strong>in</strong>ebriety.<br />

Perhaps you have heard that my application<br />

for permanent visa has been denied<br />

on the ground that I filed my application<br />

while I came as a visitor. So I am leav<strong>in</strong>g<br />

for Montreal on the 3rd of June, and second<br />

chapter for try<strong>in</strong>g for visa there will<br />

beg<strong>in</strong>. I do not know what is the result <strong>in</strong><br />

future, but this time I have desired that I<br />

may go to London, and try to establish a<br />

center there for European activities.<br />

I have not heard for many days about<br />

your good wife, Janaki; I hope she is do<strong>in</strong>g<br />

well.<br />

Hop<strong>in</strong>g you are all well.<br />

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />
