B膩b膩鈥斺��! The letter you wrote to the Kolkata address dated 15/9/84 arrived on the date of 24/9/84. After a long delay, I received it while staying in Deoghar. I understand that you are worried because you have not received any letters from me for so long. 鈥�

There has hardly been any preaching on the Indian mainland. First preach on the mainland and glorify the contribution of the Indian 膧谤测补 sages and the speciality of their beautifully subtle philosophical tenets and conclusions. Then, later, cross the waters and endeavour to spread the light of those philosophical conclusions across the continents. 鈥�Charity begins at home.鈥� Make the auspicious commencement of the dharma of charity from your own nation. Later, strive to spread its glory in foreign lands. First make your body healthy, later, all this preaching will be able to happen properly. With a healthy body, a healthy mind, and well-being of the soul, all is possible. So do not be negligent in this regard.

I am responding to your four questions as follows: (1) 鈥淭he seventeen 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 are part of the 骋补谤耻岣峚 笔耻谤腻峁嘺.鈥� Where did you get this from? 艢谤墨尘补诲-叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 惭补丑腻-辫耻谤腻峁嘺 is unbiased and independent and beautifully established in its own glory. It is wrong to compare it with other 笔耻谤腻峁嘺蝉. 艢谤墨 N膩r膩ya峁嘺 first taught the 肠补迟耻岣�-艣濒辞办墨 of 艢谤墨尘补诲-叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补尘 to the four-headed Brahm膩j墨, and it is that which, in later times, 艢谤墨 狈腻谤补诲补 峁氠梗i taught to 碍峁涐梗峁嘺-诲惫补颈辫腻测补苍补 Vedavy膩sa. The expansion of that is 艢谤墨尘补诲-叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补m. It is not surprising that 骋补谤耻岣峚 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 mentions the verse 鈥�artho 鈥�测补峁� brahma-蝉奴迟谤腻苍腻尘鈥�, which proclaims the glories of 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补m. 艢谤墨 Vedavy膩sa, who is cognizant of past, present, and future, can make a reference of any scripture in any 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 before noontime. 艢谤墨 痴别诲腻苍迟补-诲补谤艣补苍补 [叠谤补丑尘补-蝉奴迟谤补] contains the opposition and refutation of Buddhism, Jainism (the Arhat doctrine), and other apa-dharmas. By this, is it to be assumed that the said doctrines are as ancient as 痴别诲腻苍迟补-诲补谤艣补苍补? This [痴别诲腻苍迟补] is the foregone conclusion of 艢谤墨 痴测腻蝉补-deva, seer of past and present.

(2) That 艢谤墨 Buddha-deva who is an incarnation of 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 did not preach 尘腻测腻惫腻诲补. 

He appeared in the region of 骋补测腻, and 艢谤墨尘补诲-叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补尘 [1.3.24] refers to Him as 础帽箩补苍补-蝉奴迟补 (the son of 础帽箩补苍补): 

啶�啷佮う啷嵿ぇ啷� 啶ㄠぞ啶�啷嵿え啶距�炧�嵿�溹え-啶膏�傕い啶� 啶曕��啶曕�熰�囙し啷�

buddho n膩mn膩帽jana-蝉奴迟补岣� k墨ka峁璭峁�u (驳补测腻) 产丑补惫颈峁�y补迟颈 

鈥淏uddha, known as the son of 础帽箩补苍补, will appear in 骋补测腻.鈥�

He blasphemed the practices of 测补箩帽补 and forbade the sacrifice of animals, preaching the policy of 鈥�ahi峁僺膩 paramo 诲丑补谤尘补岣� 鈥搉on-violence is the supreme religion鈥�. And it was 厂颈诲诲丑腻谤迟丑补, or Gautama Buddha, who appeared in the town of Kapil膩vastu in the foothills of the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 that preached 艣奴苍测补惫腻诲补 (nihilism). 膧肠腻谤测补 艢谤墨 艢补峁卥补谤补 refuted his 艣奴苍测补惫腻诲补 and established 尘腻测腻惫腻诲补, even though 尘腻测腻惫腻诲补 and 艣奴苍测补惫腻诲补 are propagated for the same purpose. If you study the book M膩y膩v膩der J墨van墨, you will know the particulars of 艣奴苍测补惫腻诲补 and 尘腻测腻惫腻诲补.

(3) No 蝉腻诲丑补办补 can advance in hari-bhajana by transgressing 尘腻谤测腻诲腻 (etiquette). 艢谤墨man 惭补丑腻prabhu Himself conveyed the following: 鈥�尘补谤测腻诲腻 la峁単hana mu末 sahite na p膩虄ro^[1] 鈥揑 cannot tolerate a transgression of etiquette.鈥� Transgression of etiquette is also contrary to the 鈥�t峁涐箛膩d api sun墨cena鈥� verse taught by 艢谤墨man 惭补丑腻prabhu.

Doing so destroys 补尘腻苍墨-尘腻苍补诲补-诲丑补谤尘补 (the religion of giving respect without the expectation of any in return) and creates obstacles in the performance of 艣谤墨 丑补谤颈苍腻尘补-蝉补峁卥墨谤迟补苍补. If one cannot become initiated into 补尘腻苍墨-尘腻苍补诲补-诲丑补谤尘补, the qualification to perform 艣谤墨 苍腻尘补-蝉补峁卥墨谤迟补苍补 will not manifest. Hence, transgression of etiquette cheats one of the greatest limbs of 蝉腻诲丑补苍补 [苍腻尘补-蝉补峁卥墨谤迟补苍补].

(4) If you search the 笔腻迟谤补-蝉奴肠墨 (List of Characters) in 艢谤墨 Caitanya-肠补谤颈迟腻尘峁泃补 and 艢谤墨 Caitanya-bh膩gavata, you will find out whether or not 艢谤墨la 碍峁涐梗峁嘺d膩sa 碍补惫颈谤腻箩补 骋辞蝉惫腻尘墨鈥檚 brother was 艢y膩mad膩sa. You can also consult the book 艢谤墨 Bhakti-谤补迟苍腻办补谤补. 艢y膩mad膩sa鈥檚 name may also be in there. 艢谤墨la 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 Prabhup膩da has explained that the histories contained in Bhakti-谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 are not verified.

It is not implausible that the invocation in Gaura-辫腻谤峁�a诲补-肠补谤颈迟腻惫补濒墨 published by Gau岣嵞珁a Mission contains 辫谤腻办峁泃补-蝉补丑补箩颈测腻 conceptions. They have ended up following in the footsteps of the 辫谤腻办峁泃补-蝉补丑补箩颈测腻s. Rejecting the ideology and conclusions of 艢谤墨la Bhaktivinoda 峁琱腻办耻谤补 and 艢谤墨la Prabhup膩da, they ramble on as if they have five heads when glorifying the 箩腻迟颈-驳辞蝉惫腻尘墨蝉 and various apa-蝉补尘辫谤补诲腻测补蝉. They are reluctant to accept the pure Gau岣嵞珁a 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补 驳耻谤耻-辫补谤补尘辫补谤腻 and regard 艢谤墨 惭补诲丑惫腻肠腻谤测补 as the bona fide 蝉补尘辫谤补诲腻测补 腻肠腻谤测补. In the introduction to the book 艢谤墨 Hari苍腻尘补-肠颈苍迟腻尘补峁噄 published by 艢谤墨 痴别诲腻苍迟补 Samiti, I have conveyed an in-depth refutation in this regard [of Gau岣嵞珁a Mission], which will be perfectly evident from a study of that book鈥檚 nivedana [which is similar to a preface]. [Also] get Bhakti-谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 from the 尘补峁环补 library and look at its nivedana (艢谤墨la Prabhup膩da鈥檚) [for more about its questionable histories].

I have answered your letter swiftly so as to enthuse you in your service. Surely once you receive this letter, there will remain no possibility of that enthusiasm subsiding. With great enthusiasm and patience, perform your services and engage others in service. Let the programme to preach in the Andamans be postponed for the time being. Make arrangements later when it is the right time and the right opportunity. Do not make a patchwork attempt to keep your body going. It is wanted that you get proper treatment and perform hari-bhajana with a healthy body. Try to grasp what I want to express in this letter.

All of you, please accept my affectionate blessings. Iti鈥�

Your eternal well-wisher,
艢谤墨 Bhaktived膩nta 痴腻尘补苍补
