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

Krishna wants that you should do Him this
service, to help maintain His Temple
there, so I request that you shall do this
immediately. And Krishna will be pleased
upon you, and will give you all aid in serving
Him in this way. That is my desire .
And, if after first giving service in this
way, then, if you have got extra time and
money, you can execute the coloring book
idea, and I shall help you in the future on
it. But the first duty is to help maintain the
Lord's Temple as I have instructed. Hoping
you are both well.
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My Dear Satsvarupa,
Please accept my blessings. I thank
you for your letter dated June 8, 1968, as
well as for the booklet you have sent describing
my activities in Boston. Your endeavor
to utilize energy 24 hours for
Krishna Consciousness is a great qualification.
I am very glad to know that you are
risking $350.00 a month for taking a nicer
accomodation for our temple. I quite appreciate
this attempt. And Krishna will
surely help you. I have sent one letter to
Miss Rose, and try to keep friendship with
her. She will gradually become more and
more interested in our temple affairs. Everyone
has dormant love for Krishna and
we have to give one possible chance to
awake it. Miss Rose was taking gradual increased
interest in our temple and I think
if you flatter her a little more, she will
come to Krishna Consciousness platform,
and may be a great help to the center. I am
so pleased to learn that the new temple location
will be very near business district.
In business circle there is a popular English
saying that you can earn by sitting in
one place than by travelling in many

places provided you can sit down in a
place with due consideration. Similarly, if
actually you have selected a nice place,
that place itself will act as advertisement
for popularizing our Krishna Consciousness.
For the time being Devananda must
stay with you; he should not come here for
the present. When we shall form a
Samkirtan party for European tour, I shall
call him. Please show him this part of my
letter and I hope he will understand. He is
very good nice sober boy, and he will be a
good help to your activities. In meantime I
have received one letter from James. I am
enclosing his letter. I do not know what
does he want to know from me . This boy
is a new boy, and he might have so many
ideas within his brain and if you can train
him for your purpose he will be a great
service. We may always expect that we get
always untamed boys and girls, and we
have to train them up. That depends on
our capacity. So if you can tackle this boy,
he may be also good assistant. Our whole
program is to train the untrained. Nobody
is in Krishna Consciousness and we are
trying our best to bring people in that platform.
Hoping you are all well .
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedant;l Swami

My Dear Hayagriva,
Please accept my blessings. I was just
expecting your letter since I have come
here from Boston. I have already informed
you about my successful program
in Boston, attending many colleges and
universities, and the church meetings,
practically throughout the whole month.
And Sriman Satsvarupa is to be congratulated
for his endeavor to keep me engaged
