Letter to Embassy of the USA written from Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		As I am planning to go to the United States shortly, and as over one year has passed since I was last there, I am requesting your good office to extend the validity of my Registration Card for another year.

vanipedia.org 		Do nicely, quickly, and spend money. That's all. (laughter) I want to see things are done very nice. Never mind money is spent.

vanipedia.org 		Make some arrangement so that you can avoid hired cooks unless it is absolutely necessary. The hired cook, they are most wretched people.

Conversation - Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		We do not maintain any political view, what American government or Indian government... We want the whole people of the world, let them become human being. That is our movement. What is this? Simply killing business is going on. All governments should cooperate, pushing on this movement for humanity's sake.

vanipedia.org 		The American boys have cooperated with me by printing, by distributing, and the money was received by selling the books. So the books are mine. I have given to the society.

vanipedia.org 		I have done business, regular, in foreign countries. I have earned money and spending the same money in my country. It is not American money.

vanipedia.org 		Can you guarantee life? Then you are controller. Your so-called advanced medicine or advanced knowledge has no meaning. You have to die. Then where is the value of your empty voice?

Conversation - Vṛndāvana

vanipedia.org 		Eighty-one years will be completed, and eighty-second year will begin. It doesn't matter I leave this body. Even in death I'll live. One year before or one year after... Now as far as possible, I have trained you. Try to follow the principles. And go ahead. Don't be set back by māyā's tricks. Go ahead, forward, at any cost.

vanipedia.org 		Live like gṛhastha, but don't leave... So remain as gṛhastha and render your service. There is no harm. If one could not proceed, it doesn't matter. Failure is the pillar of success. Then try. Again you shall try.


Aug 28 to 31 - London

1977 - August 29

Conversation - London

vanipedia.org 		Whatever I have done, I have given my will and purpose of honor; you try and maintain it. Otherwise I have no desire—nothing. I have no such sentiment, "This is my country, this is my…" If I would have been driven by such sentiment, nobody leaves Vṛndāvana in this condition of life.
