Your scheme for collecting from the Indian community is all right and I approve the inscription for the plaques.

I have also made one book about other philosophies of your western philosophers, but I did not make compromise. My purpose was to defeat them and expose their nonsense propositions, in the light of Vedic knowledge or Krsna consciousness philosophy. That is our purpose.</p>
