![]() 13 July 2007 Thursday, 13 July, 1972 London Shyamsundar Mallik 155/A Mahatma Gandhi Road Calcutta-7, India My dear Brother Shyamsundar, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your kind letter dated 7/7/72 in Bengali and you will excuse I am writing in English because I am in London. I hope you are making the Ratha-yatra Festival very successful, along with my disciples headed by Bhavananda and Acyutananda Swami. In my childhood I used to take my ratha with my little friends, about 60 years ago. Again I am reviving the same attempt with my young disciples. I have become old, and you are also old, although not so old as I am. We may pass away, but my disciples will carry on this festival yearly, and so it will be remembered forever our eternal relationship with Sri Sri Jagannathaji and Sri Sri Radha-Govindaji. Ask your sons also to cooperate so that in future this festival will be continued for good. I am presently engaged here in London for celebrating the Ratha-yatra Festival also. A huge festival will begin at Marble Arch and proceed to Trafalgar Square, where I shall speak to at least 10,000 persons. Similarly, my disciples are holding Ratha-yatra festival at San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Tokyo, Melbourne (Australia), Calcutta, and other places. So what was my childhood play 65 years ago is now a worldwide event. The same Radha-Govindaji worship and Jagannatha worship is going on all over the world. Hoping this will meet you in the best of health. Yours affectionately, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Labels: Calcutta, Ratha Yatra letters | 19:20 | |
