From: Tamal Krishna

Los Angeles

My dear Radha Gopinatha Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances. I have been directed by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada to thank you for your letter dated October 3rd, 1977. I took the opportunity one afternoon to read your Letter to: Srila Prabhupada and He was very pleased to see how you were such an exemplary householder engaging in the ordinary business world yet making it transcendental by your Krishna consciousness. Srila Prabhupada was very pleased at this exemplary behavior and said that other devotees should follow your “standard.” Please continue enthusiastically and in this way make more and more people understand how all four of the varnas and asramas are ideal because each of them centers around Krishna.

Hoping this meets you well.

Your servant,

Tamal Krishna Gosvami

Secretary to Srila Prabhupada

His Grace Radha Gopinath das Adhikari
