From: Rupanuga, Karandhar, Bhagavan

Dear Syamsundar Prabhu,

Please accept our very humble obeisances and All Glories to your services to Srila Prabhupada!

We have been called to Los Angeles by His Divine Grace for the purpose of organizing for the maintaining and expansion of ISKCON. Srila Prabhupada has said that “Our Society is like a family, it must run on love and trust,” and so our prime mission of life is simply to execute the will of our Spiritual Master. His Divine Grace has also been very much anxious that the regulated principles of devotional service not be neglected or minimized; i.e. every devotee, without exception, must chant 16 rounds daily on the beads, and follow the regulated principles strictly. Srila Prabhupada has said that this is the only way to become pure and remain free from personal ambition.

His Divine Grace requests your presence at New Vrndavana to attend the GBC meeting there. All presidents, especially in the USA and Canada, are encouraged to attend. (If you have not already sent in your personal suggestions for items to be included on the agendas, please send them to Buffalo, at 40 Englewood Ave.).

The program for this meeting is as follows: August 22nd, GBC meeting; 23rd, presidents meeting; 24th Janmastami; 25th Vyas Puja. Incidentaly, please be sure to send your appreciations for the Vyas Puja book to be presented to Srila Prabhupada as soon as possible.

The devotees in New Vrndavana are working hard to make this momentous meeting nice – never before in the history of the Western world has such a meeting been called for the benefit of all living entities .“By the mercy of the Spiritual Master one is benedicted by the mercy of Krsna. Without the grace of the Spiritual Master nobody can make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember the Spiritual Master. At least three times in a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the Lotus Feet of my Spiritual Master.” Hare Krsna!

Your servants,
