Rutland Gate, Vijay Sai Vihar 10-12-1953
Venkamma
We reached Madras at 10 pm yesterday night.
We arrived in bliss without any difficulties. In the middle
of the journey we had our lunch and later stopped for
coffee at Madanapalle.
We are all fine and happy. How is Vijaya? Are all the
devotees doing well? I suppose all are happy and com-
fortable there? Take good care of the temple. Is
Krishtappa there? Has his sister-in-law gone to her na-
tive place? She said that she would be going. I told them
to start the work in the village.
Give ten rupees to each of them for their meals (work-
ers). Take vouchers for everything. As soon as the
money is all spent, write a letter to me and I will send
you more.
Work should start in Bukkapatnam too. Tell them I en-
quired about them and sent my blessings to all of them;
Grandmother and her grandchildren, Savithramma,
Sharadamma, Kishtamma, Konamma and Kamalamma,
Parvathamma, Ramiah, Kishtappa, Seshagiri Rao and
the Gurkha (security guard). Give my Blessings to all of
them.
Get the work done in the village quickly.
I am fine and well. Tell them to take care of the cattle.
Tell them to pour water in the places where the trees
have been axed. Put some manure around the plants.

Baba writes with blessings.
Hope you have received my letter. There have been no letters
from there. Have the workers come? I have received a letter from
Hindupuram saying that they will come if we send money. But do
not send money to
them. They have completed only 15 days’
work with our one month salary along with food.
Those four
people have cook’s money
of
Rs.40, Nanjappa’s past
debt of Rs.10 and Babu has Rs.20. Even after having this amount
with them, they wrote to us to send them money. So, do not give
any money to them. They took advantage of our kindness and got
spoiled.

So, inform Krishtappa and ask someone else to
come. Or if they want to, then they can only come.
You will not know if they ask for money. Tell them
that it can be discussed once Swami arrives. And
do not talk about any other debts. We can discuss
that after the work is completed. If they say that
they are not going to come anymore then ask them
to pay money for the food and the past debt with
Nanjappa's money. Some people, either from that
town or other, will come for cheaper rate. Send
Krishtappa by giving him bus fare and get the work
started.
I am fine here. That's all. Convey my regards to
everyone.
Janaki Ramaiah is fine. He's here only. (These are
the sentences written on the top diagonally.)

We reached Madras at 1:30 in the night.
I saw Ramaya in Madanapalli. He is fine
and has become quite fat. The doctors
have told him that he is alright and to go
home. But they have asked him to come
for a monthly check-up. That is why he
said he will stay in the village. Otherwise
he will come to Madras. I told him it is al-
right.
The moment I came here Parvathamma,
Hanumantha Rao and Rajagaru and
others cried very much that I have be-
come very thin.
They asked about you too. You eat on
time, forget everything and look after the
work. Have you seen Senkarappa or not?
Tell him to study hard. Stay at the Old
Mandir and look after the work.

We will try for a house when I come there.
Inform Parvathamma too.
Tell her not to speak too much to anybody
with the Mandiram people. Do not quarrel
with each other and be happy. Tell her that
I have written very well on her. Even if it is
good they will take it in a negative way. So
do not meddle in the affairs of anyone.
Be happy. I will look after everything.
I will write again later.
Convey my regards to Maruthi, Nagendra,
Senkara and Chitti. Convey to Pushpamma
also.
Convey my regards and blessings to all the
devotees.
That’s all.
Blessings
Yours Baba
