My dear Yasomatinandana Das: ¶
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated October 13, 1973 and have noted the contents. So far your arranging to bring other men with you to India for opening a center, that is all right, but if they come as tourists and then go away that is not good. This kind of coming and going is a waste of money. Karandhara can arrange at least one year visa. In that way if you can bring some men here then it will be helpful. But, I think you can get local men here. That is the preaching process. ¶
Yes, you can have the gayatri mantra, when I am coming to Los Angeles. ¶
I hope this meets you in good health. ¶
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ¶
