Letter to: Rupanuga — Camp: c/o Kailash Seksaria; 74 Marine Prive; Bombay-20, India — 17 December, 1970

My Dear Rupanuga,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letters dated 27th November and 4th December respectively as well as $15.00 check for my maintenance fund. Thank you very much. It is all right that you have decided to go to London but when will you go there? The situation in London and in Paris is not good. If you cannot go there immediately then it may be better to send someone else to London.

Yes, I have received the news of Cy's surrender, and I am very glad to receive them as my students. In the beginning I never protested against them_becau.se they were chanting Hare Krishna, because I knew that if they continued chanting everything would come out all right. So take care of them and see that they do not feel any inconvenience. The $39,000. should be kept aside because I shall utilize that money to purchase one nice house in Calcutta, So please do not spend from that big collection.

Your future programs for visiting temples is all right bit I again request that the GBC members consult amongst themselves and decide who will go to London to see the situation there.

Regarding incense business, if it is a multi million dollar enterprise then why not realize it? You all work combinedly and chalk, out a program to make a successful business of Spiritual Sky incense and the money will be welcome for our future programs in:'-expanding ISKCON.

The Trinidad yatra approved by me. Do it and Krishna will be pleased. I have already written to Sudama approving Vishnujana Swami going to Japan.

The next program is to start a daily newspaper in every large city of the world. Hansadutta das will send you more details about this new scheme of mine.

Hope this will meet you in good health.
