770330 - Letter to Lomasa Rsi from Tamal Krsna

30 March, 1977

From: Tamal Krishna

Dear Lomasa Rsi dasa:

Please accept my humble obeisances. I beg to thank you for your letter dated March 22, 1977.

You have a very important mission ahead of you and there is no doubt that Lord Krishna has expedited your going to America for making the necessary arrangements. Try to see Drstadumna Swami while you are in America. He is attempting to arrange for his and my going to the Canton Trade Fair in the springtime. Any questions you may have or help you may require in making immediate decisions which there is no time to write to me about, you may contact Drstadumna Maharaj as he is equally acquainted with China affairs as I am. Rajendranath das in the Radha-Damodar office can give you Drstadumna’s telephone number. Do everything very carefully and keep a very strong spiritual program. Never fail to chant sixteen rounds and follow the four regulative principles, and that will keep you in Krishna conscious standard. Study carefully Srila Prabhupada’s books and that will give a strong platform of understanding and take part by chanting and dancing in the morning and evening Arotik ceremonies. That will help you develop your realization.

We have received orders for 28 volumes of Srila Prabhupada’s books in the Soviet Union. Somehow we must secure similar orders in China. If you can get entry as a student this may place you in contact with interested professors, and if you inform me of those professors’ names when I go I shall try to contact them for booking orders. Please let me know how things proceed in your program. Try to write me regularly, at least fortnightly.

Srila Prabhupada’s health is gradually improving. We are massaging him as you have advised. Now we have shifted to the Bombay world headquarters and He like it very much. He has said that once every month He will invite all of His disciples to His quarters and cook a big feast for them.

I hope this meets you well,

Your servant,

Tamal Krishna Goswami
