My dear Achyutananda Maharaj,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter of May 25th and have examined the contents.
You should not write anything to Madhava Maharaj's camp. You may have talked many things with Mangal Niloy but why write him in black and white. The letter must not be sent. Their policy has been all along to suppress me and take credit for himself. Their proposal for cooperation is a myth. They haven't done anything which is cooperative. You know in a recent article they managed to write in such a way that Madhava is doing the world movement and we are his subordinate. From the beginning that has been their mentality. So there is no possibility of cooperation with them. Rather you should avoid strictly meeting with them. They are not after preaching but material gain and reputation and adoration. Otherwise why they are non cooperating with me? So no cooperation is possible. Do not think or indulge in loose talks. Be careful always. Let us do the duty of propagation sincerely and seriously on our own principles. Krsna and Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur are our only hope and they and helping us. If anything thing has to be done it is to be talked on the higher level between Madhava Maharaj and myself, but I know his mentality is different and there is no possibility of cooperation.

Your ever well-wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami,
