From Kirtanananda
[On Reverse of 670804 letter to Brahmananda]
Dandabats Prabhu!
[missing text] oth feeling very much the separation from you, but Krishna in Hi [text missing] te Mercy has ordained it this way.Our times are in Hishands [missing text] feeling somewhat better although still not well.Two days ago I developed severe stomach cramps;I could not even straighten out to lie down.Gradually they subsided yesterday, and today I just have a little pain on my right side.However, today I am going to the American Missionary Hospital to see if there is something I am not doing right!(This is at Swamiji suggestion).Still it is Vrindaban, and I am with my beloved (belived) Spiritual Master.I often think how lucky I am;especially when the shit is the deepest.After all, isn’t this whole material world just a big pile?
At last I think I can truthfully say that Swamiji’s health is improving.Swami Bon also noticed (nitcied) an improvement.By Krishna’s (Krishan’s) Grace He’ll be fit as a fiddle in a couple of months.Already He is planning a trip to Bombay.You just can’t keep Him down!
How much I would like to be there for Gargamuni’s wedding.It will be the first real wedding in the Temple.I hope they always remember Krishna, and then they will be blessed.Please extend my sincere best wishes.
I received the check.Thank you.
Please send a couple of needles for this portable record player.
Swamiji says that you can give Altman one mridanga and 2 pr. Kartal.Also I am getting busy on the matter of sending a half dozen harmoniums.I would like to send some other things, but what about the finances?
Today is Sunday;there is no feast in Vrindaban.How much I would love to be with you all, and incidentally taste those lovely items of Krishna Prasad (Prasade).All glories to the kitchen crew.
love, Kirtanananda
