22 December 2008 22 December, 1975 Bombay My Dear Hrdayananda Maharaja, Please accept my blessings. Thank you for your letter dated November 29th 1975. The poem is very nice, however one should not think himself a devotee, poem 3. should read: Your servant's calling so sadly, Your servant's falling so badly, A servant's trapped in the city. one cannot call himself a devotee, but servant he can call himself always.* Your bus program sounds nice, it is approved my me. I hope this letter meets you well. Your ever well wisher, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami *Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu presented Himself as "Patitam kimkarana mam visamey charambudhva." Kimkaram means servant.

I am in due receipt of your letter dated June 9, 1975 with the enclosed books in Portuguese. It is very nice, and I am glad to learn that our movement is being nicely received there. So I am prepared to come to South America, but the Venezuela Consulate in Los Angeles informs that they have government order not to give me visa. What is the meaning? You can try to arrange programs in Panama, Trinidad, and Guyana, so I can get down there on my way to Brazil. But, if there is any difficulty in getting the visa for these countries, then we may suspend the program. I do not want to take any risk, just like in Nairobi I was refused entry and it was a great inconvenience. This is not good for me. I hope this meets you in good health. Your ever well-wisher, A. C.
