760305 - Letter to Shri Kulabidhusingh from Pusta Krsna

March 5, 1976

From: Pusta Krishna

Laxmi Bhawan,

114/D, Mahatma Gandhi Avenue,

Imphal, Manipur

Dear Shri Kulabidhusingh,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Pusta Krishna Swami, and I am the present secretary of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. As you know there has already been several correspondences dated 31 January, 1976, 8 August, 1976, 12 November, 1975, and the most recent correspondence dated 28 February, 1976 from Sriman Dayananda das (Mr. Michael R. Wright). Since then Mr. Wright has been unexpectedly had to go to Dallas, Texas in the U.S.A. for managing at our Gurukula school there. I am very sorry for all of the changes of names of the list of disciples who will be accompanying His Divine Grace to Manipura, however, I can assure you that this will have to be the final list of devotees who will be coming if we are going to make the April schedule for the planned program.

The following is the complete list of devotees who will be coming and you can kindly disregard all previous lists of names which have been previously cited:

Name Passport

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (Indian - K001044)

Gopal Khanna (Canadian - RX 176156)

Milan Kumar Talukdar (Indian - J780145)

Paul Howard Dossick (U.S.A. - Z 2269551)

Denis Harrison (U.K. - P 606464)

Nityananda Das (Indian - no passport).

Patrick Geoffrois (French - 149/72).

I can assure you that the list will not change if the program is to be in April. As you may know, our ISKCON society (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) has its annual meeting in Vrndavana until April 10, after which it is convenient for us to proceed to Manipura as your guests. So we sill have to fly from Delhi, and if you would like our party to come then kindly arrange for your organization, the Manipur Gita Mandal to send airtickets and authorization of visas to our center in Vrndavana which I am including herein:

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,

Krishna-Balarama Mandir,

Raman Reti,

Vrndavana, U.P. Attention: the secretary

Kindly furnish airticket Delhi-Manipura-Delhi. The normal practice is that a centre to which His Divine Grace is invited has paid for the return airfare for His Divine Grace and his party. I trust that this will meet with your approval as we are very much eager to preach and perform sankirtan in Manipur. Please reply to our above Vrndavana address.

All Glories to Lord Sri Krishna!!!

Your faithfully,

Pusta Krishna Swami, secretary

(Paul Howard Dossick)
