PLEASE NOTE The 9th of each month is the last day for your remittances to be included in the newsletter. Dear Mahäräjas and Prabhus, Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Çréla Prabhupäda! July 17 marks the 51st anniversary of the incorporation of ISKCON. This is undoubtedly the most important incorporation that ever took place in New York City! Being a spiritual visionary, Çréla Prabhupäda included the word international in the name of his society, although he began in a humble storefront with practially no assets. He also rejected a suggestion to name his new society the International Society for God Consciousness because he wanted to establish that Kåñëa is God! Çréla Prabhu päda s effort to establish Lord Kåñëa s divinity and supremacy is indeed flourishing internationally. The main avenue of success in this endeavor is the distribution of Çréla Prabhu päda s books! ÇRÉLA PRABHUPÄDA SAID... We want to establish that one God, Krishna; one scripture, Bhagavad-gita; one mantra, Hare Krishna; and one work, service to the Supreme Lord. And people are responding. So please try to cooperate with me. So far government is concerned, they will not cooperate. They have become secular. But even the people do not cooperate how it will be successful? Please, therefore, try to organize Indian opinion to cooperate with me, that will be a great help. And so long you are here in America, just try to induce our Gujarati friends to cooperate, and have our own temple, at least in San Francisco. So far the piety of my disciples is concerned; you know they are strictly Vaisnava. They are restricted from illicit sex life, all kinds of intoxication, they do not eat anything except Krishna Prasadam, and they do not participate in any kind of gambling. So far piety is concerned, I think you will find them more advanced than some of our Indian friends. And if our Indian friends will also cooperate in this way, it will be a great success. I thank you very much once more for your nice letter and appreciation of my activities, and if you kindly cooperate with me I shall be still more encouraged. Thanking you,... Letter to B.N.
