4/7/72 LONDON – BHAVÄNANDA MAHÄRÄJA I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letters dated July 5 and July 8, 1972, and I have noted the contents carefully. So far the speakers for Rathayatra are concerned, that is all right, but it is also a good idea to offset their nonsense by o ur own speakers. Yes, we should stand in our position and defy all nonsense propositions. Our math in Mäyäpur is not for Bengalis, the math is for you foreigners, to give you facility for offering respects to Lord Caitanya. 1/3/73 BOMBAY – BHAVÄNANDA MAHÄRÄJA Actually, our main business in this country shall be to distribute our books profusely. Mäyäpur, Våndävana, these temples shall be utilized for the most part by foreigners. So far the work in India of spread- ing Krsna consciousness, there are already millions of temples, so what shall our two more temples accomplish for spreading Krsna consciousness? They are meant for the foreigners and big life mem- bers. But our emphasis for preaching work will be on these books. 29/9/76 VÅNDÄVANA – JAYAPATÄKÄ MAHÄRÄJA Regarding our proposal for West Bengal: West Bengal people may come and join us without any distinction of caste and creed. The oc- cupation will be according to one’s capacity. They will be employed in cottage industry backed by spiritual advancement of life, to un- derstand the mission of human life or relationship with God and act accordingly. The idea is that we are prepared to give all facility for maintenance of the body without sinful activities like illicit sex, meat- eating, intoxication and gambling. Everyone should live peacefully in healthy condition of life with the purpose of advancing in spiritual con- sciousness. In this concept we can accept anyone from any part of the world, what to speak of West Bengal, and give them shelter, food, occupation and enlightenment.
