OCTOBER, 1968 561such a nice assistants to me, for executingthe mission of my Spiritual Master. Personally,I am nonentity; I have come hereon the order of my Spiritual Master, andHe has kindly sent you all boys to assistme . So whatever is being done, there is nocredit for me, but all the credit goes to mySpiritual Master, because He has arrangedeverything, and I am simply toabide by His order.Regarding Gargamuni: All of a suddenI thought that he should go and takecharge of his father's business. And assoon as I proposed, he phoned to his fatherand he also was very much anxious toreceive. So this is also another chance forus, that we can show a model factory. Actuallyas you say, that we want to perfecteverything with Krishna Consciousness.Our policy is that without Krishna, everythingis zero. But zero by the side ofKrishna, is 10, 100, and so on. So thewhole Vaishnava philosophy is like that.The Ravana class of men, they want Sitawithout Rama, and therefore there ishavoc . Ravana kidnapped Sita <strong>from</strong> theclutches of Ravana, and the result was thatthe whole nation, whole family, was vanquished.And Hanuman's policy was tobring back Sita and let her sit down by theside of Rama. So we do not neglect anything,because everything is manifestationof Krishna's energy. Krishna's energymeans Sita, and Krishna is Rama. So allmaterial energy that are working in thematerial world, can be engaged in the serviceof the Lord. Actually, if your fatherfortunate, and I think he is fortunate, becausehe has got two nice sons, so Krishnais certainly pleased on him. His presentdemoniac qualification is no bar for gettingmercy of Krishna, because you aretwo sons present for his salvation. Justlike Prahlad Maharaj-his father wasatheist, and he was always inimical to hisgreat son, but still the son was so good thathe arranged for the salvation of his father.So Vaishnava son in a family can give thebest service to his family members, andyou are ideal two brothers in this country,and you show the example how everythingcan be adopted , in the service of Krishna.So I am glad that you have got all theseideas, and Gargamuni has got the energyand your father is also willing, that youshould cooperate, so let us take this goodchance, and try to utilize it for KrishnaConsciousness movement.I am glad that MacMillan Companyhas agreed to give us 50%. Now out ofthis, 50% , 40 % should be given to all centers.Immediately as you receive consignmentof books, you immediately distribute,allowing the 40 % and the shippingcharges should be borne by them,and you take care of 10% for our investment.That is business like . And with thesupply of books, immediately bill shouldbe submitted and you have to see that thebill is paid duly. Regarding bank reference:I am sending herewith one copy ofthe letter of the First National City Bank,in which the balance is there. I think thebalance is little more, so you can send thecopy of letter to them. Besides that, I havegot some money in the Trade and TrustBank, and some money in Bank ofAmerica. In the Bank of America, HaightClayton Branch, San Francisco, Cal., myaccount number is 262101746. I thinkthat is sufficient reference for them, andthey can draw the bill at 60 days sight, andsupply the books to us.Regarding Hayagriva: I think you canopen direct correspondence with him inthe matter of his willingness to marry, andI think he is serious about rendering serviceto the society. Recently he has sentme one press cutting that is very nice, andI am enclosing herewith the press cutting.If possible, you can get some copies photostated.And send me some copies.Regarding Achyutananda and Jayagovinda:I have already written them
