From: Satsvarupa, Pusta Krishna Swami, Ramesvara Swami
Dear Gopal Krishna Prabhu,
Please accept our humble obeisances at your lotus feet. We have seen and discussed your letter to Srila Prabhupada dated July 9th, 1976, and the feeling of all of us is that you are the best man possible to handle the management of Bombay, Vrindaban, Hyderabad, etc. It was a mistake on the part of the G.B.C. to assign two G.B.C. men to oversee the management of Krishna Balaram Mandir, and so we are requesting that you take full care of the G.B.C. responsibilities for Vrindaban, and Hansadutta Maharaj should not interfere with your management of Vrindaban which we have all marked is very admirable. Please, there is no need for sentimentality. You have done a tremendous job as G.B.C. and you have earned the respect of us all. Tamal Krishna Goswami especially has great appreciation of your work. He said that what he has done I could not do in four years. So don’t be agitated as we are also writing one letter to Hansadutta Maharaj relieving him of G.B.C. duties over the Vrindaban Temple. We have full confidence in your ability and the entire G.B.C. has already resolved that at least for one year up to the Gaura Purnima, you should remain in your present service. We trust that this will find you enthused and blissfully engaged in the service of Srila Prabhupada.
Your servants,
Satsvarupa Goswami, Tamal Krishna Goswami,
Secretary, G.B.C. Chairman-elect G.B.C.
Pusta Krishna Swami, Ramesvara Swami,
