554 Letters from Srrta Prabhuptida
From Seattle, for a day or two, or utmost
for a week, I may go to Vancouver,
then I shall go to Los Angeles. Perhaps
you know that we are trying to take one office
in the Church center of the United
Nation, with an idea that we may try to
propagate our Krishna Consciousness
movement, amongst respectable leaders
of the nations who are attached to the
United Nations, so Purushottam is corresponding
and trying to arrange for this, let
us see, how Krishna helps us. I hope this
will meet you in good health, I am
Your ever well-wisher,
P. S. Srimati Rupamanjari will certainly
be pleased upon you as you are engaged in
Krishna's service.

My Dear Chidananda,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due
receipt of your letter dated October 11 ,
1968, and I have noted the contents carefully.
I also thank you for sending my passport
along with the two certificates which I
have duly received yesterday and I am utilizing
it for my medical examination, and
other activities in connection with my permanent
visa in USA. It is so much encouraging
that your Samkirtan party is going
everyday collecting some money and encouraging
also that you are selling Back To
Godhead. Similarly the Samkirtan party
here also led by Tarnal Krishna is doing
very nicely. I understand that the son ofTulasi
devi, Karnapur, has chosen coins in his
Annaprashan ceremony. It is very nice. I
think this boy will earn enough money for
spreading Krishna Consciousness.
Hope this will meet you in good
health, I am
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My Dear Rayarama,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to
acknowledge receipt of your two letters,
dated September 30, 1968, and the other
one, October 9. I am very sorry I could
not reply you earlier, because there are so
many letters, and I have to reply them one
after another. Anyway, the issue of Back
To Godhead which you have sent me is
very very nice, and Krishna is helping you
for your sincere efforts. I hope you will
continue this attitude and improve the
quality and writing of Back To Godhead
both nicely. It is also gratifying that Subal
has joined you and so also Bhakta jan has
come back to assist you. Now I think you
have got sufficient staff, and you may not
require the help of the boy, Chintamoni in
Montreal. I think that he's required there
to assist Hansadutta. I have received letter
from him.
I have noted with great attention your
statement that you are sitting at one desk
in a tiny office, room, which is ferociously
hot in summer and freezing cold
in winter. So people might think you mad
if they heard of your crazy work. So spiritual
activities are like that. Sometimes my
contemporaries from India, they also
write that in this age, the age of 73, when
people would naturally like to retire, and I
am working here. So this is all possible by
Grace of Krishna. Krishna can adjust opposing
elements. In the material world,
yes and no are two opposing element, but
by Krishna's inconceivable power, yes can
be no. and no can be yes. That is the law of
Krishna. And austerity, Krishna Consciousness,
there is some austerity. So we
should not be afraid of any condition.
Narayana Parasarve Na Kutaschana
Viryati-that means, those who are in
Krishna Consciousness, they are not
afraid of anything. Either they are in hell,
