May it please your most exhalted Honou;1

Kindly accept r.rry humble obeisances. It is the custom of Iltdia fran a time �morial that a citizen of the state would approach the King to express hs grievances for redemption and the.King would very kindly consider his case�s duty bound and give him necessary relief by the royal DUdgemento I ,t the present moment, your excellency is seated in the peeition of I the Kin(bY the will and Grace of the Lord and as a true Vaishnava I must I accept rour excellency as the representative of the Supreme Lord Shri Krishna� I as tHe�as expressed Himself in the pages of Bhagwatgeeta.

As such I beg to lay. before your most e.xhalted honour, the following few lnes for favourable consideration and do the needful in pure consciousnessr

---

�our Excellency is the representative of Shri Krishna by authority ru1 \

I hope�i Krishna will direct you from within in the matter of rrry transce\ dental se�ce to Him. • y ..

Ib_g to submit herewith that by the Grace of ::>hri Krishna through His mercy peaonified -my spiritual master, I have realised it most thoroughly tht going "Back to Godhead" is the highest privilege of mankind and that ia th. sup-·eme perfect:!.on of human life.

UnfortUa·�Jely, the present day human civilization is very much attracted with t,e beauty of Apara Prakriti the illusory material Nature andassuchtheyre overpowered by a demoniac form of propensity in the atheistic set up �civilizationmanifested in the matter of sense gratification. This tenden1y is dangeroully harmful to the real progress of life. ,

The aimof ll.fe ahould be to make a sincere effort to go 11Baok to Godhead" but con+ :rary to thif', the tendency is to go baok to � or in the cycle of evoluti�mary a.nimal life as it is described in the 16th ohaptc!' of Bhagwatgeeta. . (

From: Goewami Abhay Cha�n Bhaktivedanta

J.� dear du<<ehter Sa.ley, 5 I beB' to thiJ.nk yau for your kind letter of the 16th 5nstar.t a.nd I have noted the contento carefully. I am &lad to l:enrn th.B.t';you had been to I ' your }'l!U'cnts house for n i'e'W deyo and nO"W you have raturned•' ho!Jle. rarnstill moreglad to learn th.nt you nre goina to obGorvethe third 'birth dey of Hiss Y..ame.lu AGc.rHal on Saturfey next.On thia oooaeion I should h!ve prooented her Bome OTI1a�cnts bvt as Iurn e Sennyasi I annoimp� offer� blesn ing for her lone 1 ife and good pro:-pcri-cy.Sho oo.nnot now read othe:rldse at leest I ohoul•l have:presented a oot of' ey booko .Dut yau set aside oneset of l'I\Y books for her :f'ut:.J.re reac:i.n[r when she will grow np a beautiful educated girlc v.ith full godconsciot's:neo!l. I e.I!l obliged to your aood ctaus tor for arrn.rding no a GOod degree as SR�JHJESUS which is actually a great,'!honour for me.Sone tir.le the T,ord speaks through innocent child and I take :this honour as sent by T_,ord Jerru.s 'throgh a.'1inocent chl:d :free from all forrniltties of the current socie�. T�rd Jesus p�enched the meosago of God nnd I havB taken up the s��e mionion,n.nd it 1vould be a good luck for me i:f Ican :follow' the foot prints of T.J01� Jesus who preached tho message of' Ood inspite o:f all persecution. Lord Jesus js a livine eY�ple how one has to suffer in th1s material war ld simp� for the natter of preachinff tho mesoB.B"e of God. In!��tam also there is another exnmple liko LordJerrus. He is Prahlad Ma.h.araj a boy of' five years old but because he wns agreat devotee of' God u.nd preaching the message of God Among his little class mates 1 his nthiat father tried to killhirn.So the �theist class of menare nl;,�s enimical to the devotees of God event hough m1ch devotee happens to be the atheist 1s son like Prahla.d..

I propoE:ed for ste.r ting the rcstur3nt 1dth aview that youriley become one of richest fcni�� in Anerica.One ann become rich on� by tr,ying his luck in busine6s.It io not possible byscl�ine othcr.One shouldhave indepen 2 ent source of income that is possE'lle on� if one is engaged in business or in b.nd lordship. If/-ou co.n invost $2010JO/- in a/-Toper-cy inNewYork �hich is worth $1001000 -,you can have at least $1000- permonth-as the rent of the houGe.So that in 15 years time ou become the 'proprietor of good huse in He:11 �rork �·rhich 1rould fetch you 1000 rent per month. Tha.t is ey next propor;al. I think you ca.n invost $20000 z;ome ;..'"a:Y or other end i:f you can please do it inmedinto� because that is chance als o .

You can r;end me $40/- and it will help me GOing over California.

Mn.rch 1811966

Please aooopt � greeting and bleooing of Lord Bala Krishna. I hope by the Orn.oe of Lo:rd Sri Kriohna everything ¥ell with you.

Since I reoeivod your laat letter of Cotober 9,1965, I wee ver.r much encourneed lrhen you wrote to sey-11 I fool that you ohould stay there till you fully recover from your illness and return only after you have oomple ted your mission" • I think these lineo dictated by you are tho rrorde ot Lord J3aln Kxishno. e.Ypressed through your goodneos.

You lTill be pleaoed to know that I have improved nzy- health to thG normal and � miseionn.ry work io nicely :proareeeing. I hope m::r projeot. to start a Temple of Sri Sri Ro.dhn Krishna in New York will allo be real ieod by the Ora.oe o! the Lord. Sir Pada.mpa.t Singhe.nia of K.o.npu:r J ..K. Orga. nisation,has kindly agreed to oonetruct a nioe Temple of Sri Srl Radha. Y.xielma in lTew York. I am trying to solve the exchange problem by all means, and I am seeing some liGht for this purpose also.

Since I oe.me dowm to !Tew York from Dutler Pennsylvania, I h.avO. rented ·the above :room at $70.00 per month and I am delivering l'eotu:res en "the J3ha.gwat Goeta and Srimn.d ll�tn.m accOI!lpanied by Samkirt!gl and the American: ladies and gentlemen come to hea:r me. You uill be ourprioed to know that they do not understand the lP.ncuna-o of the Sarnkirtnnand yet they hoar uith attentiotJ. The l!lovement 1-rhich I have otnrted here is completely new to them because the Americana are ceneral],y acquninted with the Indian Yoga gymnaetioa as it is performed by some Indian yogis here . Thqy never heard of Dhakti· cult ?r tho Soineoe of Kriehn!$. before ond otill! they a:re _hearing me1-thip· very idea fa a greal BUCOeBB for me.

Now I shall require- somG' Samkirt� instruments ::t:rom India and three·. men to assist me in � missionar,y activitiee.And if the Temple is started I he.ve to bring ffif1..n.Y thing-D f'rom India and I wioh that you mcy kindly arrange for free conveyance of m,y men nnd aoodo in thio connedtion.

I have a l:reaey- asked one of my dovotoca in Calcutta to send two Vu-id.nnga.a for Samkirtan- and I have advised him to deposit the same. with YO"UJ: mana.gel:'! in Calcutta. for carriage to New York by E!JJY one of y� ships. Kin� isrrua. inctructions to you.r Jbnagera in Calcutta. ClJld Coohin to oarry 'I!fl things as abovementioned free and oblige.

In India when I started for Amorica,yoUD gooru1ess promised to rep� � letter recular� but I have not received roplioa for � two letters.Pleaee thsref'o:re oee that 11\Y lottors nddresood to you may be duly replied.· I have come here in this oldage neither for oiahtoeoing nor for ru1,Y personal interest. It is for the interest of tho entire humani-cy that 1 am trying·f;o 1cy1irnent. the ooience of Krishna· whioh willl actually Plako them _MJ)W• C)o 1t is the duty of every devotooa of Lord Kriohn.a. to help me: by all. ·er.:.ns.:Xiildly reply this letter and oblige.Hopcs you are �el · .Kfndl,y, anvy ey goodwisheB to all your staff oopocial],y to Sa.:rva iman choksi,.

S inc e I have come to this country I have travelled many parts or th& country specially in utler,Ph11adalph1a Pitaburg,Boston Mon roe etc and everywhere I have seen that the people in general h�Te great respect for orie ntal culture and moat�y they are attached to the gymnastic proeess of the Rata Yoga system.But the system of Bhaktiyoga will be very much appreciable to th�m if we could open a centre here in new York.vlith this aim in view I tr ied my godbrothel"" to jointogether for this preaching work in the foreign countri8a by combined force.I tried f'furst Ke5nve Haharaj,then Bon Maha.raj and than Teertbe.

Srila Teertha Maharaj pr omised me all help tti get this exchange sanctiloned by seeing the Pres ide nt and the Finance KMinister Et.S he is suprosed to h ave some inflnonce over them.This corres�ondence is going on since January 1966 with Sripad Teertha Maharaj but his last le t ter appears to me very disappointing.Now He asks m� to go back to India and try for the sanction with his joint effort from the Deputy Controller of Exchange in Calcutta.Srila Teertha Maharaj has defi ni tely assured me that the exchange will bo eanctioned on submission of plans and expenditure of the proposed. t(,mple�But I am not very much encouraged to have this information ..

J.1y dear Rayrama,

Brancp: 518 Frederick StrP.et San Francisco,California

February 28,1967.

Please accept my blessings and offer the same to all your Godbrothe:ts for your doing the respectiiDe duties nicely.I am in due receipi/of the copy of Back to Godhead dated 15th February 1967 and I � gl that it is nicely done .The only defect is that picture which is vr.ronely put there without asking me.There was no need of interpretatio.s and why you have interpreted the picture as one has to be naked before the Lord to become perfect(?).We have no int erpretation in ne of. the verse s in the Gita and Srimad Bl�gvatam . They were not fic�icious and therefore there is no need of interpretation. Krishna actually took .away the dresses o:f the Gopis and actually He saw the cirls naked . There i��nterpreation there.The girls of Vrindaban of the same age like Krishna vvanted Krishna as their husband.In India the girls are married earlier by tECn years at least and thus the girls who were of the same age were married although they wished Krishna as their hus-band .Krisllna. fulfilled their wishes by this pastimes.:No body can ask aey woman or girl to. be come n2ked except the husband.That is the moral etiquete of Vedic culture. Krishn:::t is actUE..lly husband.. of every woman.There was r:w necessity of formal marriage.But still Krishna played like husband by asking them to become naked.In the spiritual world there is no· co habit tion i ply by such emotion in transcendental ecstacy the des ire is f fill d .

These pictures of Krishna and the Gopis are not understandable by a layman who has no ide�tof K:J..�islum � Therefore, this picture was wrong·· ly put .w.i:� without asking me. Please1therefore, consult me before putting any such pict1u'e or interpretations.One must 1mderstand first Krish_-rm from the Bhagawatam by reading the first ninet:a chapte� Ohter· wise Krislu1a would be taken as ordinary manand His pastimes will be vr.rongly understood.Besides that aBrahmachary shouldnot�ny kind of naked picture.That is violationjBrarunachary law. �

I am askine you therefore not to put the picture in the issue of Back to Godhead.I have asked here not to put this picture and so also I am asking you.I thin all the picture s are not yet stapled and therefore it must not be put in there.

Last n:i[jht we ho..d v ery nice function at J\Jore than three hundred s tude nts gathered and all Stanford University. of them sang and Over.

t1 anced with our Kirtan for full one to 20 minutes questions and answers n£Ix for Jlirtnn.So altogether there very successful.

hour.There was lecture T5 about 25 minutes and the balance was two hours program and it was

On sunday afte:::r noon there was'Kirtan in the Golden Gate Park and th�re was about 3 to�hundred audience and most of them danc�d in ecstacy. It reminded me of our activities in the Tompkinson Park.I have asked them to arrange for loud speakers and microphones so that next week�may have greater audience to join us. It appears to me that people of this country will accept thi� movement. nicely if weuit in accordance with prescribed directions.When we receive. the Mridatgas we shall have better chance to perform the Kirtan more nicely.

Please try to send the �rridanga and cymbals as early as possible as I have already instructed.

Hope you are all well.,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter of the 3rd instant and noted the contents carefully.

Gita Press is full of Mayavada Philosophy which says Krishna has no form but He assumes a form for facility of devotion�l service.This is nonsense.! am just trying to wipe out this Mayavada philosophy and you may not therefore order for any more copy of the English Bhagavatam published by the Gita press.The one which you have got may be kept only for reference oni having an understanding of the Mayavada Philosophy which'�very dangerous for ordinary persoa

The May"tada Philosophy has played havoc in spiritual understanding leading to Ae�theistic tendency.The interpretation th that one has to be naked before the Lord is also ma�ada philosophy The pictures which Dan might have brought in the temple are certain ly un-authorised.In furture before publishing any picture you must consult me. Any stage of life in Krishna consciousness may be a victim of sj rong material energy.Therefore we have always to take care and stictly follow the rules and regulations. You are a good � . boy and sincere devotee and I hope you will understand me right.

I a� glad that you are getting some nice job.They have tried for �o many days and still the experiment is going on. Any way if by the Grace of Lord you can help the Society it will be a great help. You are taking a great responsibility in the matter of purchasing the hcuse. It is very good to take all risks for Krishna but for our personal satisfsction we should not take the least risk.I am very glad to learn that Brahmananda,Yourself and all others have the transcendental courage to take all risks for Krishna and this act will enhance your glory in Krishna consciousness

So far my going back to New York I have already sent you a letter that I.shall start from this place ater 6th April 1967 In California the scope of Krishna consciousness is gradually taking some solid ground.Formerly when you were here the audience was hearing sitting but now a days all of them stmad up and dance. In Stanford University although the demonstration was first intro duced still they took it as hypnotic chant. Many Yoga societies here feeling the strength of our movement

In future if any one challenges our philosophy one may put his questions in writing and must be prepared to receive the answers from unman unde:estanding. lve cannot talk with any one who is not within the �x�xdM� purview of human understanding. you are completely right when you refuse to debate and accept invitation for chanting

Hare Krishna Hahamantra o ll.lthough we should not chant in a society which is disruptive but as soon as one invites us for chanting we take it for gxoc±RZad that they are friendly and we must take the opportunity.

ll. female is never a'\'varded the order of Sannyasam. Because a female is never considered independent and Sannyasam 1-ras never . awa:eded to any female in the past by the great ll.charyas like Samkara, Ramanuja etc. The female Sannyasins are to be immediately understood as pretenders or prostitutes. In India they have organized so many organizations wehre specially young females are maintained to attract rich women-hunters who pretend to pose as ritheous in the society. This is the age of Kali vrhich plunders away spiritual sense of the � human being. and it is only the Divine Grace of Lord Chaitan�a Who can protect us from all these dangerous pitfalls. you were not agitated by unfavourable criticism any yet you chanted Hare Krishna Hahamamtra that is the v-ray of chanting Hare Krishna o I thank you very much �x for this for-bearance. I am very gldd to note that you can knolf the foolsihness of the modern society in

spiritual understandinG and I thank you very

mush for your appreciation of my association. This association is disciplci and as such all thanks are due to lort1 Krishna 1vho infuses His p.;:M powers through the bonafide disciplic succession. But I am very sorry to learn� that Mr. Taylor is stilL �a playing in his own way. I do not know why. If the finanaier is paying him all cash vthat is the cause of delay. 1/e have already handed over the ammount and if things are still lingered in such a 1-vay if beeames really disturbing. I shall be glad to hear from you hmv things are taking place. In your last letter ! was given to understnad that while signing the agreement Hr. Taylor was not present. This -vras something like marriage performances without the bridegroom •• ••••••

My dear Mr. Taber,

I thanks you very much for your letter and I have noted the contents carefully. You will be glad to know that I am improving my health gra�ually and today I took a shower bath by myself here at the seashore in N.J. t Probably I will have regained by strength sufficiently by the 25th of thismonty to come to San Francisco, but if I do not go at that . time, then I shall advice you to come to New York.

So far as your distress is concerned, it is not new:it is the general condition of living entities who are distressed for wan6 of sense gratification. Unless one is related with Sri Krishna, the Reservoir of all Pleasures, it is very difficult x�xhaxf to have complete pleasures perception in this material world. You have read Bhagavad Gita and it is stated that ultimate happiness can be realized by transendental senses only. Our movemenv for Krishna Consciousness is to � turn the present poluted senses into its original pure form, just like when a man cannot see properly due to cataracts in the eyeball, similarly we cannot have real sense pleasure without being purified in Krishna Consciousness. This purification can be done only by engaging the senses for Krishna. Krishan is called Hrisikesh, or the Master of the senses. His senses are omnipotent; therefore, when our senses will be a engaged to satisgy the senses of ax Krishna, at that time we wwill �

have perfect sense gratificaion, and be free of all distressed condition.

A spirit soul is not impersonal, and because hw is a person he ±�X«N has the latent desire for sense gratification; but in the material condition he does not know how to enjoy; therefore one should purify the senses being free of all material disignation. In conditioned stage we are designated souls like "American," "Indian", 11dog� 11demi-god,l1l etc., but in pure consciousness or Krishna Consciousness, we are part and parcel of the Supreme Brahman. By Brahman realization, as you may have read in Bhagavad±Gita: Brahmabhuta prasannaatmaaa sochati nakankshti. So in our pure stage when we understanfi that we are eternal servants of Krishna there is no mre distress. Therefore the devotee prays: "My :Eord, when shall I be freed from all material desires and be completely engaged � in your transcendental loving service. At the present moment I am forlorn and nogody is my master.

as my Supreme Master; then shall I joyfully wander -aver the whole universe knowing that You are my Master." Please therefore try to be in Krishna Consciousness and there will be no distress. GRN Gradually as you realize this, you will experience it also; but the process is the same, both at the beginning and at the end.

· Hope you are well.

Your sincerely

A,C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Please accept my blessinc;s. I thank you ver much for your letter of Dec. 21, 1967. And I am glad to learn that you are getting strength in Krishna Consciousness so that you have decided to remain in the Temple in the absence of your husband. This is very nice. We should learn to depend on Krishna more and more. Actually, Krishna is always guidin� us as Supersoul, but due to our forgetfulness, we do not understand that Krishna is friend everlasting. \'lith advance of Krishna Consciousness one is able to realize that Krishna is alvJays \'lith His devotees--not only with His devotees, also with the non-devotees, but the devotees can recognize His Presence and the non-devotees cannot. The more you make advancement in Krishna Consciousness you will see Krishna everywhere. Not only on the bank of the river, but also on streets, trees, lampposts, and so on. The more you see like that you know you are making tangible advancement in Krishna Consciousness. Actually, there is nothing but Krishna all around us. This is explained in the Gita. He is the taste of water, light of the moon, the fragrance of the flower, light of :K« the sun, sound of the sky, the power of the strong and so on. so one who is actually making progress in Krishna Consciousness, he can see Krishna everywhere. At every stage of life, \'lho can arvoid the sunlight,·the moonlight, the g fragrance of the flower, the taste of the water, the sound of the sky, and so on; but one has to learn it, that there is Krishna in all these varieties of existence. Without Krishna there is nothing. It is simply by the influence of Maya that we forget the relationship of

Krishna with everythinG that be.

Simply ah;ays chant Hare Krishna and '�rith faith in Krishna and the Spiritual r�ster. I am very �lad Y�ishna is helping you and He will help you more and more in the future.

Your ever well-wisher,
