11/7/69 LOS ANGELES – BRAHMÄNANDA MAHÄRÄJA Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura desired that American disciples would come to Mäyäpur to take advantage of the birthplace of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu. I wanted to make one American home there, and I asked for a piece of land there from my Godbrother, Tértha Mahäräja. He has sim- ply acknowledged receipt of my letter, and there has been no other reply as of yet. In the meantime, Acyutänanda has given hope of pur- chasing land there. If we purchase some land, it may be that some American people will construct a nice temple there and a home for American visitors. So what is your idea if we purchase some land there? But if we do something there, it must be done very nicely. Otherwise it will be an insult to your people who are so rich. People must go there to see the American home and the American devotees. That is my idea. I shall be glad to know your opinion about this. 8/2/77 MÄYÄPUR – ÇRÉMAD BHÄGAVATAM LECTURE This Mäyäpur is meant for this purpose, to spread Kåñëa conscious- ness movement all over the world as it was desired by Caitanya Mahäprabhu. Påthivéte äche yata nagarädi gräma sarvatra pracära . 9/5/73 LOS ANGELES – JAYAPATÄKÄ and BHAVÄNANDA MAHÄRÄJAS As in Våndävana we have named the temple Kåñëa-Balaräma Temple, similarly I suggest that our Mäyäpur temple be known as Mäyäpur Candrodaya temple or Mäyäpur Candra. Whichever sounds better we should advertise from now. 26/8/76 – DINESH CANDRA SARKAR We are going to have a very big project at Mäyäpur. We have to ac- quire 350 acres of land from the Government and construct a spiritual town at the expenses of Rs. 200 Crores. The plans and contempla- tions are going on in different phases, now when Caitanya Mahäprab- hu will be pleased it will be taken up.
