Dear Professor Kotovsky:

I am very sorry that my last letter of the 7th was not able to reach you, during your trip abroad. Swami Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada is now leading one convention in Sydney, Australia, where we have one very large center. He has been meanwhile scheduled for lecturing engagements in several European Universities for the months of June and July. Nevertheless it will be possible for him to visit your Institute around the 15th of May. Through our Delhi channels we have received the required visas and plane reservations. Also the Ambassador of the Indian Republic to the Soviet Union, His Excellency D.P. Dhar, has been informed of Swami Bhaktivedanta’s tentative arrival, and will arrange a suitable reception. Before coming, Srila Prabhupada has instructed me once again to confirm the reservations and program. I would be very appreciative, Professor Kotovsky, if you could advise me on the necessary steps we should take.

I hope that your trip was a pleasant one and that this letter finds you in the best of health. Am looking forward to your early reply, Sincerely yours,

Krsnadasa Adhikari
