Letters from Srila Prabhupada Vol.1 1947-1969

NOVEMBER, 1968 597the Bhagavatam, 2nd canto, by registeredsurface mail. But I do now know when itwill come. He sent a packet of medicinesome 3 months ago, by surface mail, tothe adress of Montreal temple, but it is notyet reached. The best thing would havebeen to send the package to United Shippingcorporation for being dispatchedwith the kholes.Regarding Purushottam, both you andRayarama have inquired from me whatspecific duty he will have to execute here.My intention of calling him is that he expresseda strong desire to live with me inMontreal, so I wish to keep him with meat least for some time and train him to actas secretary. Of course, he will work inother spheres also, to secure advertisement,but in case Govinda dasi goes toHawaii, I shall require a secretary.Govinda dasi is quite competent to act andshe is doing very nicely, she is willingworker, educated and intelligent, everythingcomplete, but the only thing is thatshe is young girl and I am a Sanyasi. Atthe present time of course Goursundar hasgone there without any money, so he hasno sufficient means just now for her to gothere. At the present moment she is livingat night with Nandarani and in the daytimeshe is assisting me as my secretary.Formerly when Goursundar was with me,she was living at night here also, but sincehe has gone with great responsibility fororagnizing a Hawaii center, he cannot becalled, although I am feeling his separationbecause he was always helping meday and night. So ·after all it is an experiment,I do not know how the futureprogram shall be fixed up, but ifPurushottam 's service is absolutelyneeded in New York, then he may go backagain.Hope this meets you in good health.Your ever well-wisher,A.C.
