My Dear Son, Visnujana Maharaja,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 25th March, 1971 and have noted the contents. Because I have been
very busy with the movement which is going on here, I haven’t had time to reply
your letter until now.
As soon as I remember that you are trying to fulfill my desire of trying to open ten centers, it gives me renewed vigor and life. Please do it
nicely. I have got confidence in you because Krishna has given you special
talent for chanting Hare Krishna Mantra. When you were chanting in L.A. temple
in the evenings, or in the mornings, I enjoyed your chanting so nicely that I
thought myself immediately carried to Vaikuntha.
So I am always thankful to you for your activities in announcing the interest of our mission. Thank you very much. Most probably when I return
to L.A. I may call you back just to hear your chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra.
I am very anxious to meet you also. I am thinking of returning very soon, but I
am also contemplating going to Russia. So on my way back I may go there to
Russia for a few days and then to U.S.A.
Although I am Indian materially, still I have adopted U.S.A. as my fatherland and you are all my fathers. In India I had one father who raised
me a Krishna Conscious child but in America I have got many fathers who are reminding
me always of Krishna. Therefore I will always wish to live under your care.
It is so much encouraging that you have got a very nice temple and that already there are six students living there and following the
regulative principles. Anyone who you recommend, I shall immediately initiate
him. So take advantage and enchant those who are coming by your chanting of
Hare Krishna Mantra. You will be victorious.
And try to introduce our books there and it will be a great missionary success. One Krishna book sold means we go forward one step in our
Krishna Consciousness. We should always remember this.
