Letter to Satsvarupa

My dear Satsvarupa Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your feet. His Divine Grace has just received the new copy of “Back to Godhead” Volume 12, No. 7. Srila Prabhupada was very much pleased with it. He commented, “It is very nice, unique! (And challenging others) Bring out any similar magazine throughout the world, there is none so nice. It is all Krishna’s arrangement.”

We can see that you are trying to include many more items in the magazine but are limited by the space. Are you going to increase the size as was suggested previously? How many copies are you now printing, Srila Prabhupada wanted to know? I still notice on the addresses in the back of the magazine that next to the address of Port Royal Pennsylvania farm you have not yet put “New Varshana.” Could you kindly add this. In every way we are really enjoying this magazine now. Srila Prabhupada heard each article with great relish. Please continue to improve it.

Hoping this meets you well.

Your servant,

Tamal Krishna Goswami
Secretary to Srila Prabhupada

P.S. I am swamped with work and do not have free time to write a monthly report. This should be the duty of the visiting Secretary. Out of 25 men why no one can be found to come?

To Ramesvara Maharaj:

Prabhupada commenting on the Sankirtan Newsletter No. 11:

“Every week the highest.”

“We always sell more big books (than medium or small). That is good.”

I said, Srila Prabhupada, this is the perfect reciprocation: You are working so hard day and night to write these books, and all the devotees are working day and night to distribute them. Prabhupada said: “I am writing the drama and they are playing on the stage.”

Double it!
