Prabhupada letters

Philosophy · asked by user [] · 2007-12-19 · 2 answers
Jai Prabhus, I, like many, have learnt the history of Iskcon, and the nectar of Prabhupadas compassion from His instructive letters. I dont think He expected they would become public property.
What I want to know is this.
Why do the letters only go up to 1973?
Least the place I read them from stops there.
Is it that Prabhupada was so busy after 1973 that His secretaries had to take over the letters, hence they were no longer Prabhupada letters?

In Vedabase there are letters directly from Prabhupada until Sept 1977.

I just bought a complete set of all of Srila Prabhupadas letters, five volumes, limited printing of 500 copies from 1983 for twenty dollars at a devotees table just within the last couple of months. The letters go all the way up to September 1977 when Srila Prabhupada was almost leaving the planet.

And believe me devotees were lusting over those books. The same devotee also had a set of Siksamrtas for sale too.
