My Dear Aniruddha,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated May 25, 1968, and I have also received one letter signed by three of you, Mukunda, yourself and Woomapati, recommending the new boy Stanley Broderick. I have received his beads also, and I am sending him the beads properly initiated, and his initiated name is Sachisuta. Sachisuta means the Son of Sachi, or Lord Chaitanya. So I am very pleased that this boy is attracted to Krishna Consciousness and he is being initiated by the Grace of Krishna. Please try to save him from the hands of Maya.

Regarding your personal sentiments not being in agreement with Woomapati: I am very sorry that this thing has happened. We are preaching Krishna Consciousness, the greatest platform of harmony, and if we dissent amongst ourselves, and disunite, it doesn't look very well. You are sinceremost servant of Krishna. I know that you have worked very good for Krishna. I think you should not be disturbed by minor disagreement. If you think that you cannot agree with Woomapati, you can stop discussing with him, and if there is any point of judgment, you can refer to me. I am always at your service. So long we are individual souls, there must be disagreement also, because that is the symptom of individuality. But when such individual is surrendered unto Krishna, there should not be any disagreement. Of course, Subal is working alone, and he is doing very nice to his best capacity, but if you want to go there, I have no objection because it will be a great help to Subal. But I know also that much depends on you about the L.A. temple, and I am afraid if you go, the temple in L.A. may suffer. Therefore, I would advise that you should consult with Mukunda about this because he is very calm and coolheaded boy, and then decide whether to go to Santa Fe or not. I am writing separately to Mukunda also, as well as to Woomapati in this connection, and I wish to know why there is disagreement. There cannot be any disagreement in discharge of duties in Krishna Consciousness.

I am leaving for Montreal on June 3rd, 1968, at 11:00 a.m. and you know Montreal address so that you can reply this letter there. Again I say that don't be agitated on some flimsy ground but cooperate on the platform of Krishna Consciousness.

Hope this will find you all right.

Your ever well-wisher

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

-मेरे प्रिय अनिरुद्ध,
+My Dear Aniruddha,
-कृपया मेरा आशीर्वाद स्वीकार करें। मुझे आपका 25 मई 1968 का पत्र प्राप्त हुआ है, और मुझे आपमें से तीन लोगों, मुकुंद, स्वयं और वूमापति द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित एक पत्र भी मिला है, जिसमें नए लड़के स्टेनली ब्रोडरिक की सिफारिश की गई है। मुझे उनकी मालाएँ भी मिल गई हैं, और मैं उन्हें उचित रूप से दीक्षित मालाएँ भेज रहा हूँ, और उनका दीक्षित नाम सचिसुता है। सचिसुता का अर्थ है सची का पुत्र, या भगवान चैतन्य। इसलिए मुझे बहुत खुशी है कि यह लड़का कृष्ण भावनामृत की ओर आकर्षित है और कृष्ण की कृपा से उसे दीक्षा मिल रही है। कृपया उसे माया के हाथों से बचाने का प्रयास करें।
+Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated May 25, 1968, and I have also received one letter signed by three of you, Mukunda, yourself and Woomapati, recommending the new boy Stanley Broderick. I have received his beads also, and I am sending him the beads properly initiated, and his initiated name is Sachisuta. Sachisuta means the Son of Sachi, or Lord Chaitanya.

-आपकी व्यक्तिगत भावनाएँ वूमापति के साथ सहमत न होने के संबंध में: मुझे बहुत खेद है कि यह बात घटित हुई। हम कृष्ण भावनामृत का प्रचार कर रहे हैं, जो सद्भाव का सबसे बड़ा मंच है, और अगर हम आपस में असहमत हैं, और फूट डालते हैं, तो यह बहुत अच्छा नहीं लगता है। आप कृष्ण के सबसे सच्चे सेवक हैं। मैं जानता हूं कि आपने कृष्णा के लिए बहुत अच्छा काम किया है। मेरा मानना है कि आपको छोटी-मोटी असहमति से परेशान नहीं होना चाहिए। यदि आपको लगता है कि आप वूमापति से सहमत नहीं हो सकते हैं, तो आप उनके साथ चर्चा करना बंद कर सकते हैं, और यदि निर्णय का कोई बिंदु है, तो आप मुझे संदर्भित कर सकते हैं। मैं हमेशा आपकी सेवा में हूँ। जब तक हम व्यक्तिगत आत्मा हैं, तब तक असहमति भी रहेगी, क्योंकि यही व्यक्तित्व का लक्षण है। लेकिन जब ऐसा व्यक्ति कृष्ण के प्रति समर्पित हो जाता है, तो कोई असहमति नहीं होनी चाहिए। बेशक, सुबल अकेले काम कर रहा है, और वह अपनी सर्वोत्तम क्षमता से बहुत अच्छा काम कर रहा है, लेकिन अगर आप वहां जाना चाहते हैं, तो मुझे कोई आपत्ति नहीं है क्योंकि इससे सुबल को बहुत मदद मिलेगी। लेकिन मैं यह भी जानता हूं कि एल.ए. मंदिर के बारे में बहुत कुछ आप पर निर्भर करता है, और मुझे डर है कि यदि आप गए, तो एल.ए. में मंदिर को नुकसान हो सकता है। इसलिए, मैं सलाह दूंगा कि आपको इस बारे में मुकुंद से सलाह लेनी चाहिए क्योंकि वह बहुत शांत स्वभाव का लड़का है, और फिर तय करें कि सांता फ़े जाना है या नहीं। मैं इस संबंध में मुकुंद को और वूमापति को भी अलग से लिख रहा हूं और जानना चाहता हूं कि असहमति क्यों है। कृष्ण भावनामृत में कर्तव्यों के निर्वहन में कोई असहमति नहीं हो सकती।

-मैं 3 जून 1968 को प्रातः 11:00 बजे मॉन्ट्रियल के लिए प्रस्थान कर रहा हूँ और आप मॉन्ट्रियल का पता जानते हैं ताकि आप इस पत्र का उत्तर वहीं दे सकें। मैं फिर कहता हूं कि किसी तुच्छ आधार पर उत्तेजित न हों बल्कि कृष्ण भावनामृत के मंच पर सहयोग करें।

+Hope this will find you all right.
