BOMBAY OFFICE:
93, Narayan Dnoru Street
Bombay -3.D/28/7/58.


Dear Mr. Banerjee,
Please accept my Namaskar. As advised by you the other day I went to see Mr. Mangumal at Kalvadevi but he did not entertain the idea of missionary work. I talked with him and found him perfect gentleman but he has spiritual realisation of the lowest rank. According to Bhagwat a person who is attracted by the Archan Marga without any knowledge of the science of Vaishnavism is called the Kanistha adhikari Vaishnava. He has of course honoured me with Rs. 11/- and a glass of milk for which I have thanked him very much but mission is not fulfilled.

I beg to inform you that one gentleman has allowed me to sit down in his office for propaganda work in Bombay city and I am seeking your help in this matter. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's message of universal love and fellow feeling requires to be preached in an organised manner and we Bengalis the countrymen of Lord Chaitanya have a responsibility for this transcendental task.

Some years ago Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaj my spiritual master attempted to preach this message throughout the world but unfortunately after His departure the movement was not carried by the entrusted successors. I am feeling for it and I have come to Bombay for organising this movement.

Respectable gentlemen specially the Bengali community may come forward first so that others will automatically follow the suit. The modern set of human civilisation is an anachronism and Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's message only can adjust the things all over the world. It is not blind conviction but actually this a fact which can be judged if people will make an analysis of the mercy bestowed by Lord Chaitanya. The whole world is looking for it and it will be a credit for the Indians generally and he Bengalis specially if they can give the message to the suffering humanity in the right direction as chalked out by the authorized Acharyas.

I wish to talk with you in detail and shall be glad to know if you can spare some convenient time for this. Also I shall be more glad to speak on the teachings of Lord Chaitanya amongst your selected friends if such a meeting is organised at your or any other suitable place. Thanking you in anticipation and awaiting your reply.

Yours sincerely,
