From: Tamal Krishna

Harijibhai Patel,

P.O. Box 40030

Nairobi, Kenya

Dear Mr. Patel,

I have been instructed by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to thank you for your kind donation.

Srila Prabhupada was very pleased to learn from His Holiness Brahmananda Swami that you intend to install Radha and Krsna Deities in your home in Talford, U.K. Srila Prabhupada said that now you are inviting Radha and Krsna into your home for formal worship, you must very strictly adhere to the four regulative principles of no eating meat, fish or eggs, no gambling, no illicit sex, and no taking of any intoxicants including tea, coffee or cigarettes. These are the absolute requirements for any kind of Deity worship.

Srila Prabhupada also sends his blessings to you for starting your new business in the U.K., and also gives his blessings for the marriage of your son Nitin. Because His Divine Grace is very ill, he could not reply your letter personally but has requested me to do so on his behalf.

Yours sincerely,

Tamal Krsna Gosvami

Secretary to His Divine Grace

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
