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

telok is three pundra , 3 lines, on the
fo rehead, in 3 parallel lines. Our telok
udra pundra, they are distinctive marks
of diffe rent sections. There are two sections
of the Vedic followers. Namely,
the impersonalists and personalists . So
the telok distinguishes one from the impersonalists.
Our undra pundra, Vishnu
temple, udra pundra means Vishnu temple,
so we are distinguished from the
mayavadis who use the three parallel
lines, tripundra.
Regarding my going to Buffalo: It may
be postponed for the time being. You will
be glad to know that I am proceeding to
New Yo rk tomorrow evening, at 4:30, and
reaching there at 5: 50. I wish to remain at
least for a week in New Yo rk, and then
start for San Francisco. Hope this meets
you in good health,
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My Dear Shama dasi
Please accept my blessings. I thank
you very much for your kind letter dated
August 27, 1968, and I am glad to hear
about successful Samkirtan party's activities
in Los Angeles. You will be glad to
know that very soon I am going to San
Francisco, maybe by the end of the first
week of September.
The nice sentiments expressed in your
letter under reply is very much pleasing to
me. When I initiated you, I accepted on
that very moment as my daughter. So you
are eternally my daughter and I am your
father. There is no doubt about it. And our
relationship is based on Krishna Consciousness,
so the more successful you
preach and help Krishna Consciousness
movement, the more our relationship in
transcendental platform is firm and fixed

up. Our business is to chant and glorify
the Holy Name of Krishna and wherever
we may remain, Krishna is with us,
Krishna is within your heart, Krishna is
within my heart. So, spiritually there is no
question of separation, even physically we
may be in far distant place. So I am very
glad that you are taking more and more interest
in this movement, and I pray to
Krishna that you be fixed up in that position,
eternally.
Thank you very much for your letter,
hope you are well.
Your ever well-wisher,
