Dear Yadubara prabhu:

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I have arranged to show the food distribution movie to Srila Prabhupada and afterwards asked Him His opinion of the movie. He replied as follows: “Yes, it is very nice. Many people will give money after seeing this movie. It should be shown widely. It will increase the public sympathy for our Movement. If we can actually collect grains and send them to India it will be very great service. The public will be satisfied, the government will be satisfied and we will be carrying on our work of distributing Krishna Prasada”.

Bhagavan das prabhu suggested that the film could be shown in various clubs such as Lion’s Club, and Rotary Club. Srila Prabhupada replied: “Yes, they can spend their money on this instead of on wine and cigarettes”.

Thank you for sending the film. I hope this letter meets you in improved health and devotion to Srila Prabhupada. Your servant,

Giriraj das Brahmachary
