Dear Lars Mulvad

HARE KRISHNA! How is everything going? I received an "automatic" address change
message for you. Does that mean you have moved to a different university?

"Merely renouncing all activities yet not engaging in the devotional service of
the Lord cannot make one happy. But a thoughtful person engaged in devotional
service can achieve the Supreme without delay."

Yes. You have to do your study. But you have to do it with the idea that you will
use that scientific knowledge to serve Krishna... We need people who are
scientifically knowledgeable to preach...

Keep me informed!

BTW: I have a WWW site at http://www.peg.apc.org/~shelter If you can access the
WWW you might find something interesting there. I plan to put the old Hare Krishna
cook book on it as well in the next few weeks.

I'm very glad to hear this. It may not be easy in the beginning but we have to
stick it out. There is really nothing else except serving Krishna...
