Letter to: Rupanuga
Washington, D.C. ¶
My dear Rupanuga Maharaja; ¶
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 21st, 1974. ¶
I am not interested to spend money for your political party neither engage our men to divert attention from spiritual progress for political propaganda. So studying your letter thoroughly I have come to the conclusion you may stop the political program. It will not benefit our real spiritual position. ¶
My only idea was to point out to the public that unless you have purified leaders there is no possibility of advancement even in the material condition. I had no idea to spend money and energy of our society in a way which is not our real spiritual life. As for the Harmonist articles, they are not bad, but the same thing could be presented in our Back to Godhead. ¶
Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ¶
