760218 - Letter to GBC and Temple Presidents from Tamal Krishna
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
February 10, 1976
From: Tamal Krishna
Dear GBC and Temple Presidents:
Please accept my humble obeisances.
This morning Srila Prabhupada called me into his room. He was very concerned over the appropriation of money for use in traveling and communicating between centers by the devotees. More and more His Divine Grace is noticing the frequency of plane flights and trunk calls, both of which are very costly. He has therefore ordered that henceforward no one should take plane flights. If anyone has to go to another temple, he should book a train reservation, but he can not take a plane. With regards to trunk calls, His Divine Grace does not want any more trunk calls booked, except in case of dire emergency. Everything should be done by mail. Telegrams should be utilized only when absolutely necessary. If you consider this decision of Srila Prabhupada carefully, I think you will see that the result will be a huge savings of money and much more cool headed management.
I hope this meets you well.
Your servant,
Tamal Krishna Goswami
Personal Secretary to His Divine Grace
