My Dear Satsvarupa,
Los Angeles
1 st November, 1968
Please accept my blessings . I am in
due receipt of your letter of Oct. 28, 1968,
along with Jadurany's. There is some dif­
ficulty of our temple here, therefore my
return address is given to my residential
apartment, as above . So you can write me
letters to this address. I hope the enclosed
statement of certificate of your being an
ordained Brahmin will help you .
As mentioned in the letter, you will be
pleased to know that I am now admitted as
ordained minister of religion in the USA.
Now there is no difficulty of my staying in
your country and if the students in differ­
ent universities and colleges want to hear
from me about the teachings of Lord
Chaitanya , Bhagavad Gita As It Is, and
Srimad Bhagavatam, I shall be glad to ac­
cept such invitation, provided such stu­
dents pay reasonable contributions . I am
getting gradually older, therefore even if l
remain in your country, I shall restrain my
moving and my main business will be
henceforward to train you all my disciples
fo r preaching work. I think you will approve
of my program . Hope this meets
you in good health,
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swam " i
My Dear Jadurany,
Please accept my blessings . I am so
glad to receive your handwriting letter after
so long a time, and from your hand­
writing I can understand that Krishna is
keeping you in good health . You must take
care of your health , and under the direc­
tion of your good husband . I have espe­
cially entrusted you in his hand so that he
may take proper care of your health , and
everyone is pleased about your nice com­
bination . Both of you are very serious students
in Krishna Consciousness and on
account of your service ___ , Krishna
always will help you in all respects .
I confirm herewith my statement that
the wife is the shareholder of the hus­
band 's pious activities . So you should
know it well that Sriman Satsvarupa, life
being fully dedicated to Krishna, what­
ever he desires you to act , you should
kindly follow his instruction. Actually he
cannot check you in the matter of your ser­
vice either to Krishna or to me , but because
we have to work with our present
body, we must take care of it by following
the ordinary rules.
Regarding casting of Nrisinghadev
murtis, I could not follow what you mean
by this. I know Rukmini can paint, so if
she paints Nrisinghadev pictures, let her
do this as many copies as she can. So far
casting in metal or in any other solid mate­
rial is concerned , if she is able to do it, let
her do the job in casting Radha Krishna
murtis. We require many Radha Krishna
murtis both in our temples as well as in
private household homes . Ye s, that is a
nice idea to copy photos of lotuses and
flowers.
Ye s, because in our temples there is no
picture of Srila Gour Kishore Das Babaji
or Srila Jagganath Das Babaji, so you can
paint Their pictures. If you have no picture
to copy from , you can write and re­
quest Gurudas to send you some . I am
