31st March 1961.

My dear Brijratanji,

Kindly accept my greetings. I hope you are quite well[text missing] in all respects by the Grace of the Lord.

I beg to inform you that an international congress for[text missing] cultivating Human Spirit is going to be held in Japan in the month[text missing] of May 1961 and you will be glad to know that the Japanese organizers[text missing] have invited me to attend the congress. They have already taken from me in advance the copy of my views on Human Culture and[text missing] their second letter confirms it that they are very much anxious to[text missing] receive me there. From the copy of the enclosed certificate, you[text missing] will find it that they have arranged for my boarding and lodging during the days of my stay there.

Now I request you to arrange for my passage to Japan and[text missing] oblige. Last you were ready to bear my passage expenses from India[text missing] to South America. And as I could not get the No objection certificate I had to postpone the journey. This time there is no such question[text missing] and the passage expenses to Japan are far less than South America.

Kindly therefore do the needful immediately and give me[text missing] a chance to speak to the enlightened people of the world the message of Human Culture from the Vedic literatures. I am sure such[text missing] views will change the angle of vision of the world activities.

Awaiting your early reply to the above camp Address and[text missing] thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,

(A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami)
