My Dear Sir:
Please accept my best wishes. I have received a report from my disciple Murti das Adhikary of the nice program that was held in Nathdwara. I am very thankful for your cooperation for spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Vallabhacharya were good friends, and Vallabhacharya many times visited Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. We get this information from authorized books. So far I know Gopalaji is coming from Madhavendra Puri, the original acharya of Goudiya Vaishnavas. His disciple was Ishvara Puri, and his disciple was Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
There is a great need for spreading Krishna Consciousness all over the world based on the Bhagavad gita As It Is. We have been successful in this attempt. I am very well known to Dixitji Goswami of Bombay. He likes very much my movement and my books. I am very much grateful for your contribution of so many books on Vallabh Sampradaya and also the framed pictures. They are being kept in Delhi, and when I return to Vrindaban via Delhi, I shall see them.
We are contemplating to open our newly constructed temple in Vrindaban during the Appearance Day of Lord Ramachandra festival, and I wish very fervently that your Holiness may be present on that occasion. If you have got time to attend the ceremony, kindly let me know, and we shall make necessary arrangements for your reception.
I hope this meets you in good health.

Faithfully yours,
     
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
