Letters from Srila Prabhupada Vol.1 1947-1969

8 Letters from Sri/a Prabhupiidapeoples of all over the world. The vitiatedcaste system of present India is neversanctioned by the scriptures. But the castesystem is made by God according toquality and work of the subject and it wasnever designed for the benefit of accidentalbirth right. Thus whatever is made byGod cannot be destroyed by man. Destructionof the caste system as contemplatedby some exponents, is therefore outof question. By the modes of Nature differentpersons are imbued with differentqualities and the scientific way of divisionof human society, from the qualitative aspect,by the caste system is quite natural.But the basic principle of such caste systemis to serve the plan of Godhead and bydoing so the four orders of caste systemmake a headway by the co-operativemethod. When such spiritual progress isdefinitely made, the materialistic progressis automatically effected as a matterof course. That makes a real classless society.The above four-fold Gandhi movements,if done in an organised, scientificway supported by all the authentic scripturesof all religiosities, will bring in thattranquility of peace respite of all harshnessand bitterness of the present world,which we have longed for till now.I wish to organise a spiritual societyfor the above movements and therefore Iseek your active help and support for this.The immediate need is to start an organisationcentre in a suitable place preferablyin New Delhi under your direct supervisionand to train up a batch of youngmenfor this transcendental service. If possibleto conduct a monthly magazine in this respectfor propaganda work.If your honour will allow me an interview,I shall be very glad to explain thewhole idea personally and let you knowhow the scheme can be given a practicalshape for subsiding the general unrest allover the world. Such an organised movementshall be the panacea of all socialmaladies.The State is giving help for so manyman-made purposes and I pray that a sumofRs 2000/-per month may be allowed forstarting these Gandhian movements in organisedform and that on authentic basis Ithink if your honour as a renowned practicalman accepts my humble suggestion, itmay be by the Will of God, that the wholeatmosphere of the present world calamitiesmay be mitigated altogether. Myhumble self had the privilege of takingthis training under the lotus feet of mySpiritual Master and I am confident to organisethis work in a scientific way ifl amhelped by the State.Hoping to be excused for intrudingupon your valuable time and awaiting yourearly reply with deep interest. With mybest regards, I beg to remain,Yours faithfully,Abhay Charan De49-2Calcutta14th March, 1949Dear Juggannath Babu,Please accept my respectful Namaskar.The sacred meeting organised byyou at your place yesterday will be rememberedby me with great reverenceand I must thank you from the very core ofmy heart for giving me a chance to servethe cause of the Potency of the AlmightyGod.
