770625 - Letter to Radhika from Tamal Krsna

June 25th, 1977

From: Tamal Krishna

Dear Radhika Dasi,

Please accept my obeisances. I have been instructed by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada to thank you for your very nice letter dated June 12th, 1977, as well as your daksina offering.

Srila Prabhupada was very pleased to hear the sentiments as you expressed them in your letter and said that your name Radhika Dasi was very appropriate. Srila Prabhupada knows your son Kaliya Krsna Das, as he is a very model student. Everyday at 6 o’clock in the evening, the Gurukula boys including your son come and chant for Srila Prabhupada in His room. Srila Prabhupada’s instruction to you is that you go on following very diligently the process of chanting 16 rounds minimum daily and observing the regulative principles of an ideal Vaisnava. As for your service, His Divine Grace said, “Book distribution is the topmost service.”

Hoping this meets you well.

Your servant,

Tamal Krsna Gosvami
