Letter to Professor S. C. Chakravarti written from Calcutta

vanipedia.org 		Vaisnava philosophy is very simple: that God is great and everyone is His servant. Nobody can be equal to or greater than God. They are simultaneously one and different. In quality they are one, but in magnitude they are different.


1970 - October 04

Letter to Daivisakti and Nayanabhirama written from Calcutta

vanipedia.org 		Please set the example of our ideal householder life in Krsna Consciousness. This will be very highly appreciated by all persons who will come in your contact and you will also be benefited.

Letter to Yogesvara written from Calcutta

1970 - October 05

Letter to Gurudasa written from Calcutta

vanipedia.org 		Now if your preaching work in Bombay is going nicely, then you can stay there for some time and do preaching work as they are doing here in Calcutta. Otherwise, you can immediately come here and work jointly. We are expecting to have our own place by the end of this month. When you come, you should send a telegram with the details of your arrival.
Letter to Sri Bajoriaji written from Calcutta

vanipedia.org 		Although my party from London has reached there in Bombay, I am unable to join you there in Bombay because there was no arrangement for my passage. Therefore, if my disciples there can do the work, then I do not require to go to Bombay leaving aside my important engagements here.


1970 - October 06

Letter to Krishna dasa written from Calcutta

vanipedia.org 		The difference between animal and human being is that an animal has no intelligence and therefore is not expected to follow any regulative principles, but human life is a life of responsibility and the human beings are meant for satisfying the material necessities of life under regulative principles or laws. In other words, religion is laws of God.


1970 - October 07

Letter to Advaita written from Calcutta

vanipedia.org 		I understand you have left and it is a thunderbolt for me. How is that?What are your demands? Or have you also been contaminated? Please tell me frankly. Where is your wife and child? If there is any disagreement with your Godbrothers, you may live separately. That doesn't matter. If there is any severe misunderstanding, I request you to come to India and live with me and start a press here.

1970 - October 21

Letter to Hansadutta and Himavati written from Amritsar

vanipedia.org 		Regarding our Indian centers, it is already decided that in Bombay we must have a center first and negotiation is going on seriously. If we cannot open many centers in India, at least one center must be opened in Bombay before we go back to the States.
Letter to Sagar Maharaja written from Amritsar

Letter to Madhudvisa written from Amritsar

vanipedia.org 		You are carrying on the Street Sankirtana Party as we have instituted in the Western countries even though you have sometimes only one companion.

Letter to Tamala Krishna and Syamasundara written from Amritsar

Letter to Bali-mardana written from Amritsar

Letter to Nayanabhirama written from Amritsar

Letter to Upendra written from Amritsar

1970 - October 27

Letter to Gargamuni written from Amritsar

vanipedia.org 		Before preaching of your Spiritual Master as God, you never consulted me whether it was right. This means you were inspired by some external influence. Subala said that it was a mystic influence. Why that was wasn't cleared up until now. That mystic influence was widely spread which I clearly saw in Honolulu, Tokyo or in other words, wherever Brahmananda went. Now we have to forget the past incidences and shall have to go forward with clear consciousness.

vanipedia.org 		You have been awarded Sannyas so you have the best opportunity to serve Krishna by preaching His glories. Why punishment? Before taking Sannyas, I told you that you may remain a brahmacari because management in L.A. was with you. Now you have voluntarily taken sannyasa. You may take advantage of this opportunity and preach this Krishna cult and expand missionary activities. Do it sincerely.

vanipedia.org 		For my disciples there is no punishment. There is no need for that. One who preaches Krishna Consciousness is supposed to be glorious.


1970 - October 28

Letter to Bhavananda written from Amritsar

vanipedia.org 		Taking shelter of these books means taking shelter of Krsna. There is no doubt about it and if you stick to this principle there will be no attack from Maya.
Letter to Hansadutta, Kirtanananda and Acyutananda written from Amritsar

vanipedia.org 		Please find the copy of the letter addressed to Mr. Jaju and immediately see him and do the needful. I am very much anxious to have a center in Calcutta, so both those places are very suitable for our purpose. Now you have to decide which one we shall take and work for it immediately.
Letter to Rupanuga written from Amritsar

vanipedia.org 		Sannyas means they should travel extensively, create new centers and new devotees - that is sannyasa business.
