94 <strong>Letters</strong> fro m Srrla Prabhupiida<br />

the donor is ready and my humble service<br />

on the spot is also ready. Now you are to<br />

give the f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g touch because you are<br />

most affectionate disciple of His Div<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Grace. I th<strong>in</strong>k <strong>Srila</strong> <strong>Prabhupada</strong> wants<br />

that <strong>in</strong> this great attempt by my humbleself<br />

your valued service may also be<br />

dovetailed.<br />

Please therefore immediately take<br />

steps <strong>in</strong> this direction and if need be you<br />

may personally see Dr. Radha <strong>Krishna</strong> because<br />

he is sympathetic with the Goudiya<br />

Math workers as they are s<strong>in</strong>cerely try<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to respiritualise the whole world. He is<br />

also personally known to me but because I<br />

am out of India it is not possible for me to<br />

see him.<br />

As you will know <strong>from</strong> the enclosed<br />

letter of Sir Padampat S<strong>in</strong>ghania, he is<br />

prepared to spend any amount for this<br />

purpose, you can get sanction as large an<br />

amount as it is possible. M<strong>in</strong>imum ten<br />

lacs of rupees.<br />

So far men for work<strong>in</strong>g here <strong>in</strong> the<br />

temple, do not worry about it . I have already<br />

some American youngmen with<br />

me and they strictly vegetarian. Besides<br />

that thereare many Indian students here<br />

and I shall be able to recruit workers<br />

both <strong>from</strong> Indian and Americans. I am<br />

confident of this. I may cite herewith<br />

one <strong>in</strong>cidence which happened yesterdya<br />

even<strong>in</strong>g. I haveprepared some Tape<br />

record of my personal Kirtan. When<br />

one of this Tape record was played the<br />

audience became practicalJy charmed<br />

by that although not a s<strong>in</strong>gle word of my<br />

language was understandable by them.<br />

So lam confident of the statement of<br />

<strong>Srila</strong> Haridas Thakur that the transcendental<br />

sound of Lord Chaitanya 's<br />

Har<strong>in</strong>am can do good even to the birds<br />

and the beasts. Undoubtedly these<br />

Americans are habituated to take nonvegetar<strong>in</strong><br />

food but I am confident that they<br />

can be tra<strong>in</strong>ed up to our l<strong>in</strong>e of liv<strong>in</strong>g because<br />

they are s<strong>in</strong>cere to take up the<br />

tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. This will be all practically possible<br />

as soon as we have regular <strong>in</strong>stitution<br />

here <strong>in</strong> New Yo rk. If it is possible to<br />

send some men <strong>from</strong> India who must be<br />

educated it is well and good otherwise I<br />

shall manage everyth<strong>in</strong>g by the Grace of<br />

<strong>Srila</strong> <strong>Prabhupada</strong>. We cannot do anyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

whatsoever but if our s<strong>in</strong>cere ser­<br />

vice is accepted by the Vaishnavas<br />

everth<strong>in</strong>g is possble and may not have<br />

the audacity to speak all these before<br />

your hol<strong>in</strong>ess who is expert <strong>in</strong> this service.<br />

Please therefore make the transaction<br />

complete immediately and oblige .<br />

By the by I beg to enclose herewith one<br />

cheque for Rs.IO/- as my humble offer<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

to the lotus feet of <strong>Srila</strong> <strong>Prabhupada</strong><br />

through your goodself and I wish that you<br />

may ask for His bless<strong>in</strong>gs for becom<strong>in</strong>g<br />

successful <strong>in</strong> this great attempt for His<br />

service.<br />

Thank<strong>in</strong>g you once more and I beg to<br />

rema<strong>in</strong>,<br />

Yo urs obediently<br />

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.<br />
