Los Angeles

My dear Sukadeva,

Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your letter dated December 4, 1973.

Thank you very much for increasing the book distribtuion in Seattle. My Guru Maharaja was most pleased to see books distributed so continue to increase it more and more. Yes, your debating program is approved by me. If we study the Bhagavad-gita thoroughly we can defeat all philosophies.

Yes, I can come to Seattle. I am going to Mexico City and Chicago to return to Los Angeles around December 24th. So after that we shall consider coming there.

I hope this meets you well.

Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My dear Eric,

Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter undated. Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very pleased to see that you are taking this Krsna Consciousness movement seriously.

Your question as to why we use light bulbs, is answered as follows: light bulbs are also a part of Krsna’s energy. Just as we use automobiles, adding machines, typewriters, dictaphone etc.

Whatever is there should be employed in service of Krsna. Without using matter in service of Krsna it becomes the cause of bondage, but by using it in the service of Krsna it helps us to become Krsna conscious.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well-wisher
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
