My Dear Paramahamsa Swami and Srutakirti das:

Please accept my blessings. Now we have a plan for expanding our Sankirtana and we will be needing so many hundreds of mrdangas.

So you have got the fiberglass shells there, so I am informing Jayapataka Swami to arrange for one or two Bengali craftsmen to come and stay with you for at least one year to make the skins. Then our men can learn from him. We will pay the transportation and some salary.

Please let me know what you think of this idea. I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My Dear Jayapataka Swami:

Please accept my blessings. In Hawaii they are arranging for manufacturing plastic kholes. You can arrange one or two Bengali experts in making and fitting the heads of the kholes.

They must be prepared to stay with us for at least one year. We will pay their transportation to Hawaii and return and also a small salary. Our men can then learn from them. We now require so many khols for expanding our Sankirtana movement.

I have not received any report from you. I am anxious to know how you have spent the money.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My dear Duryodhanaguru das,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated Dec. 17, 1974 and have noted the contents.

I want that someone learns how to make mrdangas in the Western countries. As far as I know Isana has not produced any mrdangas. So how will he teach your wife how to make them. First let him produce something, then he can teach others. I have no objection.

If somehow or other someone can learn how to make good mrdangas in America, it will be a great service.

Please study my books very carefully and do not fail in chanting at least 16 rounds daily.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Svami

ACBS/ps
