Dear James,

Please accept my greetings and the blessings of Lord Krsna. I have been instructed by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to thank you for your nice poem which you have sent. Srila Prabhupada appreciates the sentiments which you are cultivating in Krsna consciousness and requests you to fully devote you life in the service of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. That will make you happy as well as everyone else you meet happy.

If you want to know the easiest way to please Srila Prabhupada, it is to become a fully initiated, regulated devotee. You can most easily do this by living in the association of other devotees. As you probably know we have a temple in Portland. If you attend regularly, after some time they may invite you to stay there. It is an excellent place to cultivate Krsna consciousness. Try to do this.

Hoping this meets you well and Krsna conscious.

Yours sincerely,

Tamal Krsna Gosvami

Personal Secretary to His Divine Grace

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
