My Dear Purushottam,<br />

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

due receipt of your letter dated Oct. 2,<br />

1968, as well as your telegram dated Oct.<br />

3, 1968, read<strong>in</strong>g as follows: Have obta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

UN office. $100 monthly. Letter<br />

follows. Isokrishna Purushottam. In the<br />

meantime it is understood that everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

is complete, and it is all <strong>Krishna</strong>'s Grace<br />

that we have got a center <strong>in</strong> the United Nations.<br />

And you shall be <strong>in</strong> charge of the office<br />

as the secretary, and if possible, I may<br />

be liv<strong>in</strong>g with you for conduct<strong>in</strong>g this office<br />

specifically. The activities of this office<br />

will be simply to educate the United<br />

Nations people, the leaders of all nations,<br />

and the representatives of all nations,<br />

about our missionary activities, analyz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the present society's position, and how<br />

they can be elevated to the right position.<br />

So we have to make vigorous propaganda<br />

work <strong>from</strong> these centers to people of the<br />

whole world. So let us see how <strong>Krishna</strong><br />

helps us, but I th<strong>in</strong>k by gett<strong>in</strong>g this office,<br />

we have opened a new door to our <strong>Krishna</strong><br />

Consciousness movement. So you should<br />

learn <strong>in</strong> the meantime typewrit<strong>in</strong>g very<br />

nicely because you have to write so many<br />

letters till we get some other assistant.<br />

Another proposal is if it is possible to get a<br />

nice apartment nearby, then it will be<br />

great facility, because if I live there, with<br />

you, we can attend the office and live <strong>in</strong><br />

the apartment. I do not <strong>in</strong>sist this proposal<br />

immediately, but I am th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> that<br />

way. Anyway, we have to utilize this office<br />

very nicely for push<strong>in</strong>g forward the cause<br />

of <strong>Krishna</strong> Consciousness. I am enclos<strong>in</strong>g<br />

herewith also one letter for Brahmananda,<br />

which please deliver to him.<br />

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

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />

P. S. I have very much appreciated your<br />

discussion <strong>in</strong> the Istogosti and so also Rayrama's<br />

. We have to collect men for<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong> Consciousness & therefore we<br />

may not be harsh to them.<br />

My Dear Tosan <strong>Krishna</strong>,<br />

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

earlier. I am pleased to learn that you<br />

are f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g association with Subal very<br />

nice, because he is a s<strong>in</strong>cere devotee of<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong>. Certa<strong>in</strong>ly you will f<strong>in</strong>d a good<br />

association.<br />

Regard<strong>in</strong>g your question about this<br />

planet and <strong>Krishna</strong>'s com<strong>in</strong>g here, you<br />

may note that <strong>Krishna</strong> comes with<strong>in</strong> this<br />

universe once <strong>in</strong> one day of Brahma. Duration<br />

ofBrahma 's day is very very long, it<br />

is stated <strong>in</strong> the Bhagavad Gita-432 crores<br />

of years forms the duration of 12 hours of<br />

Brahma's day. And similarly, there are 12<br />

hours of night, so after 864 crores of<br />

years, <strong>Krishna</strong> comes <strong>in</strong> this universe,<br />

and whenever He comes, He of course,<br />

appears on this planet, that is the fortune
