1976 Correspondence

As long as the material body will be there, there will only be pain. Pleasure is a misconception.
Letter to Bala Krsna -- Vrindaban 23 October, 1976:

Your report of book distribution is very encouraging. Please go on increasing more and more. Yes, you should become the topmost temple for distributing my books. This is a very good proposal. That is the only way to please me. Distribute my books profusely. That is real preaching.

The girl who has got health problems must learn to be tolerant. As long as the material body will be there, there will only be pain. Pleasure is a misconception.

Upon your recommendation I will accept as my duly initiated disciples the following devotees. Make sure that they strictly follow the regulative principles and always chant a minimum of 16 rounds, avoiding the 10 offenses. Hold a fire sacrifice and have Ramesvara Maharaja chant on their beads. I also enclose one sacred thread and gayatri mantra sheets for the devotees you have recommended. They should also participate in the fire ceremony. Their new names are as follows:

Ken Reilly—Krsnacandra dasa

Curt Halberstadt—Kunja-bihari dasa

Bryan Baxter—Varaharupa dasa

Craig Escalante—Kurma-rupa dasa

Debbie Escalante—Dasarathi dasi

Sheila Halvie—Syama-priya dasi

Hoping this will meet you in good health.
