574 <strong>Letters</strong> <strong>from</strong> Srfla Prabhupiida<br />

Godhead, so writ<strong>in</strong>g capacity is not dis­<br />

couraged. And I shall always be glad to re­<br />

ceive your long letters .<br />

Yo u can <strong>in</strong>form Shivananda that I have<br />

received his last letter and he has several<br />

questions and he wants some letter ad­<br />

dress. So you can send me the language or<br />

the body of the letter which I shall type<br />

and sign and send to you<br />

So my request to you is that even<br />

though you are unable to f<strong>in</strong>d out a suit­<br />

able place, you can go on with perfor­<br />

mance of Kirtan, and other Kirtan parties<br />

are do<strong>in</strong>g. They are do<strong>in</strong>g like this <strong>in</strong> Seat­<br />

tle, San Francisco, even <strong>in</strong> Montreal .<br />

Hope this will f<strong>in</strong>d you <strong>in</strong> good health.<br />

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />

P. S. Tomorrow I am go<strong>in</strong>g to Montreal .<br />

From there I will go to Santa Fe on the<br />

27th, stay there fo r a week and then go to<br />

My dear Kirtanananda,<br />

22nd October, 1968<br />

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

am pack<strong>in</strong>g my goods for go<strong>in</strong>g to Mon­<br />

treal I have received your letter of Oct. 18,<br />

1968. Ye s, when <strong>Krishna</strong> has given us<br />

New Vr<strong>in</strong>daban, it must develop rest as­<br />

sured . You have got very good engage­<br />

ment by the Grace of <strong>Krishna</strong>, do it nicely<br />

and your life will be glorious and success­<br />

ful . So also Hayagriva's. When you go to<br />

Columbus take Radha <strong>Krishna</strong> with you<br />

and teach Hayagriva also how to worship<br />

the Deities . If required , ask Achy­<br />

utananda and Jaigov<strong>in</strong>da to send you an­<br />

other pair of Deity fo r Hayagriva .<br />

Radhakrishna shall be your life compan­<br />

ion and thus you will be always secure<br />

<strong>from</strong> the attack of Maya . So also Hayagriva.<br />

The present mode of worship is<br />

quite alright, don't worry. Yo u have seen<br />

<strong>in</strong> Vr<strong>in</strong>daban so do follow as much as pos­<br />

sible. Decorate the Deity as nicely as pos­<br />

sible with nice flowers and dress. Yo u will<br />

fo rget all other false beauty. Open the Co­<br />

lumbus center gorgeously along with<br />

Hayagriva and Pradyumna. The boys will<br />

like it . Carry Deity with you . <strong>Krishna</strong> is<br />

so nice. He is cary<strong>in</strong>g the whole planetary<br />

system as Samkarshan, but at the same<br />

time, He agrees to be carried by His devo­<br />

tees as small as a devotee can carry Him.<br />

He is greater than the greatest and smaller<br />

than the smallest. His greatness is there<br />

even when He becomes small to be car­<br />

ried by a devotee . The Mayavadis cannot<br />

understand how the greatest can become<br />

the smallest as it is impossible on material<br />

understand<strong>in</strong>g. I am go<strong>in</strong>g to Montreal to<br />

meet the consulate of USA for my perma­<br />

nent visa. Let me see what <strong>Krishna</strong> de­<br />

sires. Hope you are well. Offer my<br />

bless<strong>in</strong>gs to all .<br />

Your ever-Well wisher,<br />

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami<br />
