November 24, 1973 : Bhaktivedanta Manor
Srila Prabhupada wrote a letter to the minister in charge of immigration, Nairobi, requesting for the reasons for denial of his entry, though he had visited Nairobi twice without objections and met the Education Minister on one of his prior visits.
"My society is regularly registered in Nairobi as a cultural and religious society, and we have got our own house, and before this I had been in Nairobi twice and there was no objection. Last time, there was another Hare Krishna Festival. One of the ministers of your government, most probably the Education Minister, was invited, and he very much appreciated our activities... I wish, therefore, that you kindly let me know what is the reason that I was refused to enter without giving me proper notice, or to my men."
