Letter to: Govinda Dasi — New York Bodess Paradisio, Stinson Beach, Cal. 15 July, 1967

My dear Govinda dasi,

Please accept my blessings.

Your nice letter with picture of Govinda and his Eternal Consort, Radha, with nice handwriting. I have noted your sentiments and I appreciate that they, are very sincere. Please do not be disturbed in mind. When we are separate our relationship is eternal whenever we may be, even I am not physically present in the body. Still our relationship is eternal. I know that in N.J. you and, your husband were always anxious to serve me, and still you are so anxious. I would have advised you to come here, but first of all there is always a group of devotees and 1 can not say them to return. From S.F. they are coming here in groups and they are rendering service to their best. I know your kind.

If you wish to go to Montreal for some days it is not bad. You can go and stay there for sometime with your husband, and it may be that as soon as the Radha*Krishna murti arrives in N.Y. both Kirtanananda and Myself may return to N.Y., and with a batch of devotees and pairs of khole and kartal we may go to Montreal to install the deity there. The devotees in Montreal are very anxious to see me, and I think I shall go there even at the risk of my permanent visa. It may be that I will return to India for some time from Montreal, and there, if Krishna spares my life, I shall try to construct an American House where you'll be invited to come and live for all the days. Both your husband and yourself, and you'll, find a very peaceful atmosphere in Brindaban to worship Krishna.

Hope this finds you well.
