vanipedia.org 		In this old age, I take the responsibility of managing our quite a big Institution now, and I have to reply so many letters from different centers to give them instruction.

So let us act in that way all together for Krsna's sake. (Letter, 25 May 1970, Los Angeles)

(Letter, 29 December 1972, Bombay)



vanipedia.org 		In Bombay, 99% both men and women of all denominations, they speak English. So there you will have better chance for mixing with the Indian people.

So if you can attract all the westerners in India in that way, it will be a great service, and I am repeatedly requesting you to take up this matter seriously and combine together. (Letter, 25 July 1968, Montreal)
