Ily Dear Upendra ,
l)lease accept my blessinGS. I am in due receipt oi' you":' letter dated Janu2.ry 2, 1969 and I have carefully noted the con tents. You lw.ve ex:!_:�ressed the desire to become an t!ryovedic physician bu t I do not think that this proposal is very good. '-�his r>cience is not so important to us noi·l because in your conn try t �ere is ample f acil ity for receiving medicines. Beside�
11any· of the herbs which are needed for A.ryovedic treatment 'v·rould have to be sent here from India, and this is not ve �y practic.:-1. This t omeo p o.. t h ic medicine you have mentioned is not csenuine anll the1 :fore is a bluff . So the first medicine i·lhich y ou shoulJ be c oncE-'rn cd i'!i th is to chant Hare Krishna and to become increc>.s in.e;ly steac�y in K rishn a Consciousness. Study Bhagavad. Gita :\s It 12 :md Srimad Bhagm·�atam and continue to help your r.;od br o ther s So develop< your preachins in developinG Krishna Consciousness. abil.i ties in this vvay, and this ir-Till be the most successful C:t't'�
