I am in due receipt of your letter undated and have noted the contents carefully. I am so glad to hear that you have now opened a center in Tucson, Arizona. It has been my desire to open 108 branches of our society all over the world and due to the sincere efforts of devotees such as your good self, it is actually happening. If you simply follow the regulative principles strictly, always chant Hare Krishna and just depen… | Allahabad |

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 27th February, 1971 and have noted the contents.

1971-06-07 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — June 7, 1971 Letter to: Sukadeva Tucson My dear Sukadeva, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 12th May, 1971 and have noted the contents. So far as your relocating your temple from Tucson to Phoenix, that is a GBC matter and so it should be discussed with the GBC members and especially with Karandhara Prabhu. I cannot suggest anything very well from such a distant place. | Bombay |
1971-09-24 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — September 24, 1971 Letter to: Sukadeva Phoenix My dear Sukadeva, Please accept my blessings. Just recently I have received one letter from Pavanadeva Prabhu requesting second initiation at the recommendation of both yourself and Karandhara. So I am enclosing herewith one sacred thread, properly made and duly chanted by me and also one paper with Gayatri mantra. The procedure should be as follows for presenting Pavanadeva with sacred thread: First you must secure a tape of me reciting Gayatri mantra from Karandh… | Nairobi |

Yes, the program of increasing book distribution is very much appreciated by me, and especially if you can preach very widely to the university students nearby to your place, that is the best program. Try to get a course of instruction in the college and preach daily in a scholastic way. If we can attract this st… | Los Angeles |

1973-07-23 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — July 23, 1973 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle Dear Sukadeva, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 19, 1973 and I have carefully considered the contents. Regarding the starting of a society newsletter, I think there is no need for it. Do not unnecessarily increase your responsibilities. What responsibilities you have make perfect. Besides, we already have our society journal, Back to Godhead. As for receiving news of other centers, why should you be so anxious? The ne… | Bhaktivedanta Manor |

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter, undated, and I have noted the contents. Your write that our society should provide some medical facility, insurance or personnel to handle devotees who become chronically ill and thus ostracized from our society.

1974-08-09 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — August 9, 1974 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadeva das: Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated August 2, 1974 and have noted the contents. You have mentioned that you want to write a book, but instead of writing books, you should read and explain my books to others. Reading and writing are the same, sravanam kirtanam vishnoh. | Vrindaban |
1974-09-25 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — September 25, 1974 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadeva dasa: Please accept my blessings.

1974-11-24 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — November 24, 1974 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadeva das: Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter undated and have noted the contents. I am glad to learn that you are having nice college programs.

1974-12-28 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — December 28, 1974 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadeva, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated December 4, 1974 and have noted the contents carefully. A real Vaisnava, of course, will never say that he is superior to anyone. He will say that he is the lowest of the living entities. If he says that he is superior then actually he is not superior. You mentioned in your previous letter about this person being sexually agitated. If there is agitation in the mind then there is… | Bombay |
1975-01-12 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — January 12, 1975 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadeva das, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated Dec. 25, 1976 and have noted the contents. I have also just received one letter from Gandharva das. I have requested him to come to India and live with me for some time. I think that will solve this problem. | Bombay |
1975-02-02 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — February 2, 1975 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadeva das, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated Jan. 24, 1975 and have noted the contents. If you can acquire that building in Seattle, it will be very nice. Jayatirtha like it very much and he recommended that you should be given the loan for 10,000 dollars. So, if it is there you can take it. | Honolulu |
1975-09-18 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — September 18, 1975 Letter to: Sukadeva Honolulu My dear Sukadeva das, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated September 10, 1975. Your letter will be reviewed during the Mayapur annual meeting. That is the time to take up such matters. You all should co-operate and then things will go on very nicely. We should not bring in politics. That is a very nasty thing. Anyway, this matter will be reviewed at Mayapur. I hope this meets you in good health. | Vrindaban |
1975-09-26 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — September 26, 1975 Letter to: Sukadeva Honolulu My dear Sukdev das: Please accept my blessings.

1975-11-09 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — November 9, 1975 Letter to: Sukadeva Honolulu My dear Sukadeva das, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated October 3, 1975 and have noted the contents. Regarding your question about prosecuting Manasvi, this is a local management problem. Do I have to say on this matter? So Gurukrpa has given you the instruction. So therefore you should issue some warrant. But why has Gurukrpa advised you if you are unable to do it? Why are you asking me this question? Stop this business. | Bombay |
1975-11-13 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — November 13, 1975 Letter to: Sukadeva Honolulu My dear Sukadeva das, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of the booklet on the Kau Farm on the big island of Hawaii dated October 26, 1975. The thing is that to mortgage your present house is not at all good. There is a Bengali saying that one should not borrow money to purchase a gold earring. So I do not approve of this mortgaging transaction. | Bombay |
1976-02-04 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — February 4, 1976 Letter to: Sukadeva Hawaii My dear Sukadeva, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter undated. I am very glad to know that you have worked so diligently that the BBT debt has become almost nothing. It is very good that you have gone to Hawaii. It is a very good preaching field and our house there is one of the nicest in ISKCON. It simply requires very enthusiastic preaching and side by side very careful management. So I am confident that you can do both. | Mayapur |
1976-02-05 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — February 5, 1976 Letter to: Sukadeva Honolulu Dear Sukadeva dasa, Please accept my blessings.

I am in due receipt of your letter dated August 16, 1976 and have noted the contents. On your recommendation I am accepting the following devotees for initiation: | Vrindaban |
1976-09-24 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — September 24, 1976 Letter to: Sukadeva Honolulu My dear Sukadeva, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 7th inst. and have noted the contents. Gurukrpa Swami is coming there, and whatever he may advise may be done, regarding the deities. | Vrindaban |
1976-12-12 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — December 12, 1976 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadev, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated November 26, 1976. So, Gurukrpa says one thing and you say something else. What can I say? Now you should consult with Ramesvara and Hrdayananda Maharajas about your engagement. Work under their direction. That will be alright. | Hyderabad |
1976-12-29 | Sukadevaplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigLetter to: Sukadeva — December 29, 1976 Letter to: Sukadeva Seattle My dear Sukadev, Please accept my blessings.
