29 September 2008 Sunday, 29 September, 1974 Mayapur My Dear Bhagavan das: Please accept my blessings. Recently at Bhaktivedanta Manor they have held one election for President and Hamsaduta was present. But I am receiving so many contradictory reports as to what was the outcome. So I have advised them to again hold election with all members present, and I request you to go there to see what is the outcome of the election. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well wisher, A. C.

I am in due receipt of your letter and have noted the contents. I suggest that you confer with Hamsaduta prabhu who is in Germany. Perhaps you can go to another temple either in Germany or in Paris. Hamsaduta can check with Prthu prabhu to take care of this matter. Paris is the nearest temple to you so if you like you can go there. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well wisher, A.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 5/8/74 with enclosed photographs of the house. This house is so nice. It is better than the other one. So you can purchase it. Enclosed is one letter from one person in Portugal which I am forwarding to you for necessary action. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/bs letters | 06:35 | 9 May 2008 9 May, 1974 Bombay My dear Madhava devi, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 1974. Yes there is no objection to your casting clay forms of Deities into plaster. I understand you are a nice artist in this medium, so make Deities of Gaura-Nitai and send me photographs of the forms. We can discuss this further when I come to Paris. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/sdg letters | 04:32 | 6 April 2008 6 April, 1974 Bombay Dear Bhagavan dasa, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 30/3/74 along with the French edition of Back to Godhead which is certainly a great pleasure for me. I can see by this publication and by your report that things are going on nicely in Europe. All your programs are approved by me; simply if you keep on with it, slowly but surely we will become very solidly situated there with many devotees and books and temples. Krsna simply wants to see our desire. I will be glad to come to Paris on your invitation for the second week of May. I will also be able to visit Geneva, Sweden and Rome if you will arrange programs for me. As you know, I must return to India for the Janmastami celebration in August. So if I fly from India to Paris and arrive the second week of May, then I may stay no more than four or five days each in Paris, Geneva, Stockholm and Rome, and then go to Germany and stop at three or four centers there also. Then in late June I may go to Australia. Satsvarupa can write you further concerning the fixing up of visas, arrival dates etc. Your ever well-wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ACBS/sdg letters | 21:04 | |
