22 April 2005 April 22, 1969 Buffalo, New York My Dear Dinesh, Please accept my blessings. I thank you very much for your letter dated April 20, 1969, and the tape of our Sankirtana recording and prayer. Everyone who has heard it here is very satisfied with the result, and I thank you very much for your efforts in this connection. I am enclosing herewith one letter from Brahmananda, and you can understand from this how much this recording is being appreciated. Hope you are well. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami letters | 03:12 | April 22, 1969 Buffalo, New York My Dear Tamala Krishna, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated April 18, 1969, and I have noted the contents carefully. Your idea to go to San Francisco for a short time is nice. Yes, the San Francisco temple has deteriorated from its original position, so please try to reinstate it. Jivananda and Harsarani may also go there to help. You may also help to plan for the Rathayatra Festival, because this tradition must be continued. Regarding Girish, until I go to New Vrindaban, Girish may stay there. Otherwise he may be admitted in some school. We should not take any risk of legal implication in this matter. I hope this will meet you in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami NB: I am enclosing one letter for Jaya Gopala which you may hand over to him. letters | 03:08 | 21 April 2005 April 21, 1969 Buffalo, New York My Dear Govinda Dasi, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your nice letter dated April 1, 1969, and I have noted the contents with pleasure. Your humble sentiments are very nicely expressed and I thank you for them. I have already written to Jivananda and Harsarani, and they are inclined to go to New Vrindaban but I have advised them to go to Hawaii after spending a short period in San Francisco training up the devotees there in Deity worship and Sankirtana Party. So you may correspond with them to make more definite arrangements. From Sudama's letter I can understand that some people are coming to your kirtanas, so try your best to develop your center and Krishna will surely help you. We have not brought your Srimad-Bhagavatam here, but when I get opportunity, I will send you one volume one. I hope this will meet you in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami letters | 06:34 | 19 April 2005 Saturday, April 19, 1969 Buffalo, New York My Dear Upendra, Please accept my blessings. While I was in New York, I got your colored pictures, and each and every one of them is so nice and captivating that I have kept them for future paintings by our artists. I thank you very much for these pictures, and I hope your center is making nice progress by Sankirtana Movement. I shall be staying here in Buffalo for one week, and then I shall go on to Boston. I hope this will meet you in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami letters | 00:43 | April 19, 1969 Buffalo, New York My Dear Sudama and Karatieya, Please accept my blessings to the both of you. I was very much anxious to receive your letters, so now I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of them. I can understand that things are improving all around, and that is very satisfactory. So depend upon Krishna, work very sincerely, and everything will be complete without any doubt. On the kirtana nights you should all assemble together in the temple and if this is not possible then you can chant in your apartment. I am pleased that you are working for our activities in Japan, and in three months you should be able to gather at least $1,500.00 together. Don't spend money needlessly. Try to save as much as possible, because you have very important work to do for the service of Lord Caitanya. Regarding Karatieya's question about worshipping Lord Jagannatha, He should always be worshipped with awe and reverence. Krishna's picture as a Naughty Child should not be treated by us as a naughty child. We should always worship Krishna as the Supreme Lord. I hope this will meet you both in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami letters | 00:40 | April 19, 1969 Buffalo, New York Dear Bhurijana, Please accept my blessings. Replying to your letter dated April 14, 1969, I have already confirmed your meeting on the 15th and 16th of May, 1969, and I hope you have duly received the telegram which I have sent. Yesterday I have come to Buffalo, and Rupanuga has organized a very nice meeting of students. There were more than 200 students who were all participating in the chanting and dancing. So this Sankirtana Movement should be planned very diligently, and it should be pushed on. Then our propaganda will surely come out successful. Everywhere we are seeing good results from Sankirtana, so let us do our best for the service of the Lord. I hope this will meet you in good health, and please offer my blessings to Tosana Krishna also. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami P.S. Please inform Pradyumna in Columbus about the meeting in your place. letters | 00:37 | April 19, 1969 Buffalo, New York My Dear Tamala Krishna, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated April 12, 1969, and I have noted the contents with pleasure. I am glad to learn that two new boys, Robb and Kelly, have moved into your temple. Also, it is good news that you now have a weekly course in the University there. Regarding the draft lawyer, I have enclosed the circular which I am sending out to the temples. I thank you for the nice sentiments you have expressed in your letter, and I hope this will meet you in good health. Please convey my blessings also to the other devotees there. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami NB: I have received the twigs which you have sent to the Buffalo temple, and please continue to send them regularly while I am on the East Coast. I have also received the checks both for me and Brahmananda. Please consult Mr. Greene and let me know how shall I reply the letter. letters | 00:33 | |
