664 Letters from Srrla Prabhupada
do this I shall give hints on the subject.
So thank you again for your letter and
you are doing nicely so keep up your
strong endeavors. May Krishna bless you .
The following is a quote from a letter of
Jayagovinda dated Dec . 21, 1968:
"I am going to write to Shivananda in
Germany requesting them to pay my passage,
and in exchange, I will bring them
goods as you have outlined, and perhaps
some things to sell, and of course I am
anxious to contribute to the progress of
their center, and perhaps I will find better
luck with my visa affairs in Germany
which are still troubling me here in India."
I hope this finds you in good health.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My Dear Upendra,
Please accept my blessings. I have received
your nice gift of rose petal preserves
and I thank you very much for this.
Also, I have just yesterday received one
letter from a boy in Seattle named Charles
McCollogh, and he has desired to come
here to Los Angeles and receive initiation
from me. Please inform me of the situation
with this boy so I may reply to his letter
there after.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My Dear Upendra,
Please accept my blessings. I am in
due receipt of your letter dated January 2,
1969 and I have carefully noted the contents.
You have expressed the desire to be-
come an Aryovedic physician but I do not
think that this proposal is very good. This
science is not so important to us now because
in your country there is ample facility
for receiving medicines. Besides
many of the herbs which are needed for
Aryovedic treatment would have to be sent
here from India, and this is not very practical
. This homeopathic medicine you
have mentioned is not genuine and therefore
is a bluff. So the first medicine which
you should be concerned with is to chant
Hare Krishna and to become increasingly
steady in Krishna Consciousness. Study
Bhagavad Gita As It Is and Srimad Bhagawatam
and continue to help your godbrothers
in developing Krishna Consciousness.
So develop your preaching
abilities in this way, and this will be the
most successful and appreciated endeavor.
Regarding the answers which you gave
to Bilas Vigrahadas, they were all correct.
When you study very carefully all of the
literature which is available, especially
Bhagavad Gita As It Is , you will have in
your grasp answers to all questions that
may be put to you. Please encourage the
others to read this Bhagavad Gita at least
one chapter every day.
Please convey my blessings to the others
at your temple. I hope that this finds
you in good health.
Yo ur ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
