My Dear Rayarama,
Please accept my blessings. I am in
due receipt of your letter of January 10,
1969, and I have noted the contents with
care . I am so glad to hear that you were
enjoying your visit in Los Angeles last
week, and you should know that I was
similarly very glad to have you here with
me. As you are sick with the flu now, I
think it best that you do not exert yourself
by working too much strenuously but
rather you rest as much as possible until
you are feeling better.
I have noted with pleasure that
Jayagovinda* has sent you a nice Goverdhan
Hill article fo r printing in Back To
Godhead. I have already instructed Jayagovinda
to arrange fo r going to Hamburg
JANUARY, 1969 677
and let us see what will happen with this
boy. I have been requested by Janardan in
Montreal temple to immediately send him
the original manuscript of Bhagavad Gita
As It Is , and I think that you are keeping
this manuscript in New York so kindly
send it to Montreal as soon as possible.
Janardan will require this manuscript to
translate into the French language for
publication, so it is important business,
and please do the needful in this connection.
Thanking you once more for your letter.
I hope this finds you improving in
your health.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
* I have received one letter from Jayagovinda
which suggests that he and
Achyutananda are being poisoned like
Hrishikesh. Will you send me the last letter
of Jayagovinda which you have said is
not very good. Will you send it to me?

My Dear Upendra,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to
acknowledge receipt of your letter of January
6, 1969 and your letters of January
lOth and II th , 1969. From your recent
letters I can understand that you are keeping
yourself busily engaged and are improving
nicely. This is our process, that
you do not let even one minute go by without
doing some sort of service fo r
Krishna. Because as soon as there is a little
gap of Krishna Consciousness, immediately
maya makes an attack to grab us
again. So keep up with your kirtans and
outside engagements and always think of
Krishna so that maya will not have a second
's opportunity to try to conquer you .
And Krishna gives all assurance that the
sincere devotee will never know defeat, so
