Kallman has failed to abide by the contract.<br />

He pr<strong>in</strong>ted 10,000 copies of the record,<br />

but he did not pay a s<strong>in</strong>gle cent. Although<br />

the contract was that he would pay<br />

me 15C per record. You can consult your<br />

father what is the position. I th<strong>in</strong>k Mr.<br />

Kallman has broken the terms of the contract,<br />

but Brahmananda told me that he<br />

has taken a letter <strong>from</strong> Brahmananda<br />

adjust<strong>in</strong>g this account. Of course,<br />

Brahmananda had no power to adjust this<br />

account without my sanction. So you can<br />

<strong>in</strong>quire <strong>from</strong> Brahmananda what is the<br />

position. Otherwise, the contract is already<br />

broken. So by jo<strong>in</strong>t consultation<br />

with your father and Brahmananda you<br />

can do the needful. I understand you are<br />

com<strong>in</strong>g here by the 23rd <strong>in</strong>stant, and when<br />

we meet we shall discuss on this po<strong>in</strong>t<br />

broadly. But Mr. Kallman is very <strong>in</strong>trigu<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

But when he comes before me, he<br />

presents himself as a great devotee. So<br />

this is the position. But he has not paid me<br />

a s<strong>in</strong>gle cent, that is a fact.<br />

Hope you are all well, and I shall be<br />

expect<strong>in</strong>g to see you very soon,<br />

Your ever well-wisher,<br />

My Dear Brahmananda,<br />

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

due receipt of your letter of the 17th of<br />

Nov. , and I have noted the contents carefully.<br />

Yes, get the books <strong>from</strong> Japan as<br />

soon as possible, and I have also written<br />

them one letter which you will f<strong>in</strong>d enclosed<br />

herewith. They have agreed to gold<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>t on the cover, that is all right. So get it<br />

as soon as possible. I th<strong>in</strong>k the b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g is<br />

all right. So not delay, just try to get them<br />

as soon as possible.<br />

Regard<strong>in</strong>g Uddhava, I am very glad<br />

that he is go<strong>in</strong>g to marry Leelasuka. She is<br />

a very nice girl . I approve. They can wait<br />

and f<strong>in</strong>ish school as her mother desires.<br />

But they can become bethrothed, engaged,<br />

now.<br />

F<strong>in</strong>d out whether Woomapati can<br />

translate Back To Godhead <strong>in</strong>to French<br />

langauge. He knows French language. Or<br />

any other boy or girl who can help <strong>in</strong><br />

translat<strong>in</strong>g Back To Godhead <strong>in</strong>to French.<br />

It is very nice that you shall speak on<br />

this at the yoga group program. Subal<br />

should read carefully that Hathayoga received<br />

<strong>in</strong> the Bhagavad Gita is very difficult<br />

<strong>in</strong> this age. Yoga system is approved,<br />

but nobody can follow the rules and regulations<br />

strictly, neither there is suitable<br />

place for execut<strong>in</strong>g it, and everyone is always<br />

full of anxiety, so how they can concentrate?<br />

So best th<strong>in</strong>g is to chant Hare<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong> which is forced meditation. In<br />

this way make nice speech, and conclude<br />

with declar<strong>in</strong>g that the topmost yogi is he<br />

who surrenders to <strong>Krishna</strong>, and worships<br />

<strong>Krishna</strong> with all thoughts, activities, and<br />

<strong>in</strong>telligence.<br />

Hope you are well.<br />

Your ever well-wisher<br />

My Dear Bali Mardan,<br />

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

due receipt of your nice letter and I have<br />

Yes, it is a very good opportunity for<br />

spread<strong>in</strong>g our KC movement. We require<br />

unlimited money for construct<strong>in</strong>g New<br />

V r<strong>in</strong>daban and other schemes <strong>in</strong> KC . So if<br />

it is possible to get some money <strong>from</strong> your<br />

father's bus<strong>in</strong>ess and employ it <strong>in</strong> KC , it<br />

will be glorious both for your father and<br />

your self. It is a very good opportunity<br />

that he has supplied you car and does not<br />

object to KC . So gradually turn your father<br />

to KC . Not immediately, but gradually.<br />

In the meantime you can serve your<br />

father work<strong>in</strong>g at his bus<strong>in</strong>ess and live like<br />
