771014 - Letter to Anna Pashal from Satsvarupa

Vrndavana,

October 14, 1977

From: Satsvarupa

Los Angeles

Dear Ms. Anna Pashal,

Please accept my greetings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I have been instructed by Srila Prabhupada to reply to your letter of October 5, 1977. Out of your loving concern for Srila Prabhupada you have invited him to come to the U.S. and go under the care of your physician. It was Srila Prabhupada’s plan to come to the U.S. and Los Angeles, but now he has become too weak to travel. Be assured he is getting all medical advice, and what is more important, personal care and prayers from his devotees.

It is significant, however, that you mention Srila Prabhupada’s sister in your letter and wish that she could be with him. Just yesterday she arrived here. After so many doctors tried to prescribe cures for Srila Prabhupada and mostly failed, she has come and given Srila Prabhupada prasadam cooked by herself, and it is the first solid food he has been able to eat in months. So your thoughts and prayers should continue and Krishna, if He so desires, may cure our spiritual master. Your servant,

Satsvarupa das Goswami

visiting secretary to Srila Prabhupada
