make prima face <strong>in</strong>voice and send it and<br />

we will return to you. Otherwise, he has<br />

sent you several times the <strong>in</strong>voice and<br />

each time there was some defect po<strong>in</strong>ted<br />

out by the bank or by you. So, we are fed<br />

up <strong>in</strong> this bus<strong>in</strong>ess. We are quite unaware<br />

of the Indian government export bus<strong>in</strong>ess;<br />

you should have let us know beforehand.<br />

But we do not feel such difficulty with<br />

other shippers. We are very much perplexed<br />

<strong>in</strong> these transactions."<br />

You can write them the letter as dictated<br />

above and I do not know if you have<br />

already asked them to deposit the balance<br />

money with Dwark<strong>in</strong>. The best th<strong>in</strong>g will<br />

be to get your goods exported through a<br />

purchas<strong>in</strong>g agent like Ranjit Mullick. We<br />

can avoid so many botherations. I am also<br />

return<strong>in</strong>g herewith the letter of the<br />

UNITED SHIPPING CORPORATION,<br />

which was sent by you. Did you write any<br />

letter to Dwark<strong>in</strong>?<br />

Regard<strong>in</strong>g the 1000 records: Please do<br />

not dispatch them until you hear <strong>from</strong> me.<br />

I have written several letters to Mr. Dalmia,<br />

Achyutananda, and JaiGov<strong>in</strong>da, but<br />

I have heard noth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>from</strong> them still. So,<br />

unless I hear <strong>from</strong> them, do not export the<br />

records. Please write to Achyutananda<br />

and JaiGov<strong>in</strong>da whether they can distribute<br />

the records free to respectable Indian<br />

gentlemen, and collect some contributions<br />

for purchas<strong>in</strong>g Deities, to be <strong>in</strong>stalled<br />

<strong>in</strong> our several temples. For the last<br />

2 weeks I have received no reply <strong>from</strong><br />

them. I do not know what they are do<strong>in</strong>g<br />

there. I thought JaiGov<strong>in</strong>da would be <strong>in</strong>telligent<br />

enough to cooperate with<br />

Achyutananda, but he is also silent. I do<br />

not know what to do with them.<br />

The Canadian Immigration affairs is<br />

go<strong>in</strong>g on. After one week we shall know<br />

what the actual position is.<br />

You have sent me two days ago copies<br />

of your letters to UNITED SHIPPING<br />

CORPORATION, and one letter to Mr.<br />

Renovick <strong>in</strong> Vancouver. But I have not re-<br />

ceived these copies. I do not know if they<br />

are miss<strong>in</strong>g delivery.<br />

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

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />

N.B. Please send a supply of ISKCON<br />

stationery as soon as possible, and envelopes.<br />

My Dear Hansadutta,<br />

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

you very much for your letter dated June<br />

18, 1968, and I am so glad to note the contents.<br />

I th<strong>in</strong>k <strong>Krishna</strong> is giv<strong>in</strong>g you the required<br />

<strong>in</strong>telligence how to spread our<br />

transcendental movement. This is the<br />

right way, as you have adopted. To chant<br />

Hare <strong>Krishna</strong>, very nicely, with musical<br />

<strong>in</strong>struments and mridanga, speak the philosophy<br />

of Bhagavad Gita, and sell our literatures<br />

like books and magaz<strong>in</strong>es. That<br />

process will make our mission successful.<br />

Please try to do it very nicely.<br />

Regard<strong>in</strong>g the bus, the best th<strong>in</strong>g will<br />

be to dispose of and get some money. One<br />

th<strong>in</strong>g, you must be very careful that we<br />

should not divert our attention for money<br />

mak<strong>in</strong>g too much. If we can make money<br />

by the process which you have now<br />

adopted, that is very nice. But we cannot<br />

divert our attention to such th<strong>in</strong>gs as runn<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on the bus, etc . This is not good. The<br />

bus should be sold to get out of the botheration.<br />

If the bus was <strong>in</strong> good condition, we<br />

could have it to utilized to move ourselves,<br />

but that is not possible. Under the circumstances,<br />

better that you dispose of it at<br />

highest possible price and get out of the<br />

complication.<br />

Yes, that is all right, Himavati can sew<br />
