Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your two letters post dated 2 and 4 January, 1970 respectively, the former redirected here from Boston.I am pleased to note that although you have not yet secured a Temple building you are moving our program forward on other fronts. The arrangement for the composing and printing of BTG in French and German languages is already settled, and if you all continue to translate my books and articles and write articles yourselves; that will make the work successful. The people in general can be reached very well by the distribution of our literatures and by the propagation of Sankirtan in the streets. These are our two mridungas for reawakening the sleeping conditioned souls.I am especially enthusiastic for our Krishna Consciousness philosophy or the teachings of Lord Chaitanya to be advanced for the benefit of the learned circle and in this connection your well received expose at the university is encouraging. Please continue your efforts to convince them of the great universal necessity of this scientific philosophy to solve all the knotty difficulties of life by practical application of the Vedic knowledge according to the Parampara prescription of the bona fide Acharyas.The verse which you have requested is as follows:
kirata hunandhra pulinda pulkasaabhira sumbha yavanah khasadayahye'nye c papa yadupasrayasrayahsudhyanti tasmai prabhavisnabe namah.(Bhag. 2/4/18)
These are different names of non-Aryans or chandalas, less than the Sudras. They are called panchamas or fifth grade men. Brahmins are first grade men; Kshatriyas, second grade; Vaishas, third grade; Sudras, fourth grade. There are many of these different fifth grade men and it is difficult to find who are these fifth grade persons in present society. But the point is that they are all less than Sudra.
