If I see our leaders are enthusiastic, that gives me more enthusiasm.
You propose to induce the American people to surrender to Lord Caitanya by expansion of book distribution, that is wanted.
When you come to that, that is success. Then you can take charge of the government. And, as soon as in America the Krsna conscious boys are in power the whole world will be changed.

My dear Tamala Krsna,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated December 9, 1976.
Your book distribution report is very encouraging. If I see our leaders are enthusiastic, that gives me more enthusiasm. Your suggestion to get new buses is good. I always recommended that. I don’t like old vehicles. I think one hundred buses are not sufficient for America. You propose to induce the American people to surrender to Lord Caitanya by expansion of book distribution, that is wanted. When you come to that, that is success. Then you can take charge of the government. And, as soon as in America the Krsna conscious boys are in power the whole world will be changed. The idea is to bring under control all atheist class of men. There are two ways of bringing the opposition under control. One is by logic and philosophy, the other is by force.
That was done by Bharata Maharaja when he was king of this planet.
Why the wife should be disturbed if she is living not in the association of her husband. When Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to East Bengal for preaching, his first wife was alone. Wife’s duty is not to disturb the husband. That is Vedic principle. The marriage relationship is not for sex. Of course, that is the way in this age. So, such wife may marry for the second time, what can be done? Vedic marriage is not for sex.
Hoping this will meet you in good health.
Your ever well-wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

hare krishna prabhu!!
if smoking or drinking is a sinful act then isn’t it sinful to sell those things?
Hare Krishna Sandeep
Everything is sinful if it is not being done for Krishna. Eating, even vegetarian food, is only eating sin, if it was not cooked by devotees and offered to Krishna.
So everything is sinful except service to Krishna.
Therefore we have to adjust our lives so all our activities are performed in devotional service to please Srila Prabhupada and Krishna.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
