28 July 2007 28 July, 1973 Bhaktivedanta Manor My Dear Madhudvisa Swami, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated July 13.73. and have noted the contents carefully. I was just thinking of you, why you had not sent your report. I thought you had become angry because I did not go to your place but came instead to London. But at that time I was so sick - attacked by dysentery. The people in Calcutta became afraid for my life. So somehow or other I recovered by 7th July and appeared fit, so I dared to come to London. Now my health has improved and attended a grand Rathayatra festival here - find clippings enclosed. The overall effect of our festival here was appreciated by everyone, more than 10,000 persons took part and received Prasadam. Syamasundara said that afterwards all people in London have become very friendly with us on account of being impressed with our festival. So when shall I be able to go? I am to go to Los Angeles by the end of August. Thereafter I may be invited to Japan and whenever you call me after that I shall come. 30 lakhs cash are required to solver the problem of India. Yes, you can practice the restrictions for Caturmasya. Pradyumna Prabhu will send you these under separate cover. I hope you are well. Your ever well-wisher, A.C.

I beg to acknowledge your letter dated 22nd July. It is very encouraging to note that the work on our BTG and other Books is going on. Actually producing and distributing books is our most important engagement, all other engagements culminate in this one end--distribution of books. Anyway our festival here was very well received and I was so much encouraged by the whole thing that I was able to walk and dance the entire way from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square. The newspapers showed one picture of our Ratha next to the statue of Nelson and caption was "Krishna - a rival to Nelson." So all over the world our men are working hard to push this important message. I know that you are very hard working all the time and therefore your life is becoming perfect and sublime. Thank you for helping me so much. I hope you are well. A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/hda As we are in possession of the land we must fully utilize it for our purpose. We must therefore hold Sankirtana Festival immediately and arrangement must be done with the help of all Hindu leaders like __, __ etc. ACBS Labels: Bombay, London, Rathayatra, sankirtan letters | 06:45 |28 June 2007 Thursday, 28 June, 1973 Calcutta My dear Jaya Hari, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 25 June along with the wonderful literature, Rathayatra '73, London Summer Festival. The collage of the pictures and the articles in the magazine have been wonderfully set up and I very much appreciate it. I can understand from your attempt that you are doing something wonderful this year. So I think I must accept your invitation. So far my health is concerned, by the Grace of Krsna I have improved very much, about 90%. In the meantime I received one telegram from Syamasundara: "Flying London Wednesday will Telex your tickets Thursday. BOAC Calcutta office." Therefore as soon as I get the tickets I shall try to reserve my seats and reach London as early as possible before 8 July. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm. Offer my beloved blessings for all devotees who have signed the invitation album. I shall enjoy their company when I meet them. I wish to visit the other branches in England. Invite all members of our European centers and make the ceremony very very successful by combined effort. Your ever well wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/sdg Labels: health, London, Rathayatra letters | 16:55 | |
