Letter to Tirtha Maharaja

February 4, 1966 

He wrote again to Tirtha Maharaja, who had agreed to try for the government sanction if he first received written confirmation from a responsible donor pledging the funds for a temple.  Prabhupada informed him that the donor would be Sri Badampat Singhania, and he enclosed Mr. Singhania’s favorable letter of the fourteenth.  Prabhupada reminded his godbrother:

“Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta wanted such temples in foreign countries such as New York, London, Tokyo, etc., and I had personal talks with him when I first met him at Ulta Danga in 1922.  Now here is a chance for me to carry out his personal order…. I am just seeking your favor and mercy in making this attempt successful.”
