\nSatsvarupa dasa Goswami: Mukti Brahmacari.
\nOne day a curious, unsolicited correspondent wrote to Prabhupada from India. His name was Mukti Brahmacari. Introducing himself as a disciple of one of Prabhupada\u2019s godbrothers, and reminding Prabhupada of their past slight acquaintance, Mukti wrote of his eagerness to join Prabhupada in America. Prabhupada still had hopes for getting assistance from his godbrothers in India \u2013 \u201cThis mission is not simply one man\u2019s work.\u201d Therefore, he invited Mukti to come to America and asked him to request his guru to cooperate by working personally to secure government sanction for the release of foreign exchange.
\nMukti submitted the entire proposal before his spiritual master, who, as Mukti predicted, cancelled the trip. Although Mukti\u2019s guru was Srila Prabhupada\u2019s godbrother, he did not want to be involved and he doubted that Prabhupada would actually get a donation from Padampat Singhania.
\nAnd now Mukti Brahmacari also doubted: \u201cIf your program is not bona fide, the approach to a big personality will be a ludicrous one no doubt.\u201d
\nOn the same day that Prabhupada received the \u201cludicrous\u201d letter, he also received the final blow of noncooperation from the Indian government. Second Secretary Prakash Shah of the Indian Embassy in Washington D.C. wrote:
\nDue to existing conditions of foreign exchange stringency, it is not possible for the government of India to accede to your request for release of foreign exchange. You may perhaps like to raise funds from residents in America.
\nIt was confirmed: Prabhupada would have to work without outside help. He would continue alone in New York City. His last letter to Mukti Brahmacari reveals his deep faith and determination.
