INTRODUCTION.
The Gaudiya Mission has already published the Report of its
First Year's activities in England. We have now, by the Grace
of our Master, the pleasure to present the public with the
Report of our Second Year's works in Europe.
By the Mercy of the President of the Gaudiya Mission, His
Divine Grace Paramahansa Paribrajakacharyabarya 108 Sri
Srimad Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Gosvarni, we have been able
to render our humble services to the fulfillment of the wish
of Srila Thakur Bhaktivinode, the .father of the present
Movement of unalloyed devotion in India. According to the
capacity God has given us, we have been carrying out the
Message of Sri Krishna Chaitanya in particular and the Teach-
ings and Philosophy of Hinduism in general to the people
of Europe.
During the First Year, our activities were mostly confined to
England, except for a short tour to the Universities of Berlin
and Koenigsberg, while this year we have the honour to inform
the devotees of the world about our extensive works in Eng-
land, Germany, Czechoslovakia and Austria.
We have been further encouraged by the fact that we have
found two sincere souls in Herrn Ernst-Georg Schulze and

Herrn Baron Hans-Eberhard von Koth, who are going to
India to devote themselves wholly to the service of our Master
and the Lord.
Praying for more energy and abilities from our Divine Master
we now enter upon our Third Year's activities in the West.
