Tokyo, 22 August, 1970: My Dear Karandhara, please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated August 15th, 1970. Regarding shipping of the books, I hope you have already received message from Tamala Krsna. Teachings of Lord Caitanya and KRSNA books should immediately be shipped by S.S. Viswa Kirti and the shipping documents may be sent to me directly at my Calcutta address as follows: 37/1 Hindustan Road, Ballyganj, Calcutta-29.
Perhaps you know that we are starting for Calcutta on the 29th August reaching there on the same evening. One Japanese student also is going with me and he is helping our cause by translating from English to Japanese. He will continue his work as translator and it will be easier for him to understand intricate subjects in my presence.
Regarding Isopanisad, I have already ordered Dai Nippon to reprint 10,000 with sewn binding (perfect binding). I thank you very much that you have sent $1,900 to Dai Nippon and they have acknowledged receipt. I heard from Tamala that you have sent further $1,500, but they have not received as yet. I hope by this time you have already sent this check.

I have invited some of the directors of Dai Nippon to take lunch with me today and I may inquire if they have received further money. The bill is already for $32,000 for the books which I have ordered to be printed and over and above this if the amount for KRSNA II and Hindi BTG is added the amount will come to somewhere about $53,000. So kindly go on sending weekly whatever collection you make for the Book Fund.
I am so glad to learn that the management of the Temple is going nicely and the devotees are feeling transcendental pleasure. I understand from Tamala that the number of weekly guests has almost doubled. This is very good news. Who is taking care of my apartments? It should be cleansed at least twice a week and on the Altar of the Deity at least one incense may be offered daily.
I thank you very much and all the devotees for offering me a garland daily as you were doing when I was physically present. If a disciple is constantly engaged in carrying out the instructions of the Spiritual Master he is supposed to be constantly in company with hs Spiritual Master. This is called Vaniseva. So there are two kinds of service to the Spiritual Master One is called vaniseva and the other is called vapuseva.
Vaniseva means as above mentioned, executing the instructions, and vapuseva means physically or personally rendering service. So in the absence of physical presentation of the Spiritual Master the vaniseva is more important. My Spiritual Master, Sarasvati Gosvami Thakura, may appear to be physically not present, but still because I try to serve His instruction I never feel separated from Him. I expect that all of you should follow these instructions.
Hope this will meet you in good health. Please keep me informed of your good activities always and offer my blessings to all the boys and girls and the little children.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
P.S. As this letter was being written, I have received your next letter dated August 19th, 1970, and thank you very much for sending the check for $2600 to Dai Nippon to be placed in the Bhaktivedanta Book Fund Trust.

pamho agtACBSP,,
SRILA PRABHUPADA is teaching us that our pure and hidden love for SRI KRSNA through different levels of lusty desire can be discover and seized by stopping to be the supreme controller over HIS external and material energies and more we stop that and more our lost prem puman artho mahan love will be manifested because SRI KRSNA love us that’s why HE gave us the free will and the real devotees let SRI KRSNA to control him through that small free will because of that love coming in from satatam kirtayanto mam in loulyam kalatvam this is the first ticket to buy to become a good ahaituki apratihata maha rati bhakta connected to the divine qualities of a vaikunta man like our guru maharaj HDG ACBSP who is still teaching us how to get that pure bhakti coming in from hrsikena hrsikesa sevanam bhaktir ucyate then SRI ADHOKSAJE will show us the real reflection,designation and eternal relation with HIM and this can happen by engaging everything in HIS bright service which enlight the devotees by giving them the direction to go back home,
nobody must worry about his temporary kali chela history in the planet earth because whoever got a physical body is sinful i mean there is not question of be sinful without accepting a material body made by contaminate substances,we are lucky because we got the way out from this stink and rotten material world while many people depart from this world by killing themselves,
actually everyone does it by killing themselves slowly slowly because they forgot our best and eternal friend therefore to make our krsna smarana stronger is the way to depart from this planet as a mukta purusa a liberated soul by finishing to pay the last karma in this horrible and disgusted world of unciviled citizens who are behaving as biped actually they born alone die alone with plenty of obstacles to overcome just because of the attraction of the false reflection connected to their miserable bodily concept of life because they lack of bhakti and sukrti, therefore the real devotee show the real nature as jiva sarana shelter for the visaya SRI KRSNA the supreme enjoyer by letting SRI KRSNA to control him because SRI KRSNA don’t like to see the small jiva to take HIS position as a visaya supreme enjoyer,
actually a pure devotee pray SRI KRSNA by telling HIM steal me completely i’m your servant but the jiva come to the material world as a master and all the problems start to take place when one forget who is the real master after all we have to die therefore is better to not worry too much but to take action through the divine seva of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA is the way to live forever beyond the samsara the factor time and the physical saguna forms anyway a genuine devotee who is determinate to get eternal life serve SRI KRSNA even in the hell and what to say about this planet? everything is there ready for us to leave this miserable life by keeping connected with SRILA PRABHUPADA transcendental company in our daily nitya bhagavata sevaya bhagavati uttamasloke bhaktir bhavati naistiki
