I would request you to see the Finance Minister or the President immediately and get the Exchange sanctioned. There is provision for such exchange sanction but it requires special sanction from the Finance Ministry. So we have to convince only the Finance Minister that for spreading the culture of Bhagwat Geeta or the science of Krishna Consciousness this cultural propaganda from India's side has to be done. I have already explained the matter in my application but if yourself or Sripad Madhav Maharaj sees the Finance Minister immediately, I am sure the Exchange will be released. I have already informed you that the donor Sir Padampat Sighania is ready to spend any amount for constructing a nice Indian architectural temple in New York and why not take this opportunity for spreading the mission of Srila Prabhupada. Sripada Madhava Maharaj is known to the President because sometimes before His Holiness saw the President in New Delhi. I requested for this to Sripad Bon Maharaj but he has declined, I requested Sripad Teertha Maharaj and at first he promised to see the President and the Finance Minister but later on he is trying to avoid it. So I have to request Sripad Madhav Maharaj through you for this most important work to see the President and the Finance Minister immediately with reference to my application as it is acknowledged by the Embassy of India in Washington.
You have written to say in your letter under reply that you want to join first with me then talk with Sripada Maharaj about co-operation otherwise your journey to this country may be cancelled by him. I could not follow the import of this proposal. Do you think that cooperation with me prior to your joining me here is not possible? Why this mentality. Is it my private business? Srila Prabhupada wanted to construct some temples in the Foreign countries as preaching centres of the message of Srila Rupa Raghunatha and I am trying to do this in this part of the world. The money is ready and the opportunity is open. If by seeing the Finance Minister this work can be facilitated why should we wait for time so that you cannot talk with your Gurumaharaj about any co-operation because you are afraid of your journey here may be cancelled. Please do not think in that way. Take everything as Srila Prabhupada's work and try to co-operate in that spirit.
