[On Reverse of 670804 letter to Brahmananda]

Dandabats Prabhu!

[missing text] oth feeling very much the separation from you, but Krishna in Hi [text missing] te Mercy has ordained it this way.  Our times are in His  hands [missing text] feeling somewhat better although still not well.  Two days ago I developed severe stomach cramps;I could not even straighten out to lie down.  Gradually they subsided yesterday, and today I just have a little pain on my right side.  However, today I am going to the American Missionary Hospital to see if there is something I am not doing right!  (This is at Swamiji suggestion).  Still it is Vrindaban, and I am with my beloved (belived) Spiritual Master.  I often think how lucky I am;especially when the shit is the deepest.  After all, isn’t this whole material world just a big pile?
At last I think I can truthfully say that Swamiji’s health is improving.  Swami Bon also noticed an improvement.  By Krishna’s Grace He’ll be fit as a fiddle in a couple of months.  Already He is planning a trip to Bombay.  You just can’t keep Him down!

How much I would like to be there for Gargamuni’s wedding.  It will be the first real wedding in the Temple.  I hope they always remember Krishna, and then they will be blessed.  Please extend my sincere best wishes.

I received the check.  Thank you.

Please send a couple of needles for this portable record player.

Swamiji says that you can give Altman one mridanga and 2 pr. Kartal.  Also I am getting busy on the matter of sending a half dozen harmoniums.  I would like to send some other things, but what about the finances?

Today is Sunday; there is no feast in Vrindaban.  How much I would love to be with you all, and incidentally taste those lovely items of Krishna Prasad.  All glories to the kitchen crew.  

love, Kirtanananda
