SP asked him to translate Bhagavad-gita As It Is first.
In the mail today was an update from Dina Dayal on his preaching in Greece. He has acquired an apartment in a good area of Athens, just near the British embassy. Bhaktijana and Rohini Kumara have joined him. They held a grand opening in an auditorium. They obtained police permission to hang a poster with Prabhupada's picture on it all around the city to advertise the opening. Over 150 people attended.
Dina Dayal has begun translating prayers and articles from Back to Godhead into Greek. He asked which book Prabhupada wanted translated first.
Prabhupada was satisfied with his attempts to preach. He advised him to maintain his efforts, increasing gradually. He asked him to translate Bhagavad-gita As It Is first.
Nitai prabhu also wrote to inform Srila Prabhupada about his attempts to gain affiliation for our gurukula with two Sanskrit colleges, one in Delhi and one in Benares. His idea was to adapt their curriculums to our needs.
Prabhupada wasn't too concerned from the academic standpoint, but he wrote back approving his idea because it may help our students get visas.
Bilvamangala dasa brought the finished plans for the Mayapur temple from Saurabha in Bombay. The total area required has again been revised; now we will apply for 320 acres.
