<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Satsvarupa -- Los Angeles 9 January, 1970|Letter to Satsvarupa -- Los Angeles 9 January, 1970]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Recently, I have received a copy of one letter issued by the draft board recognizing our society as religious. So this means that both the public and government are gradually appreciating our position, and there is no doubt about it, if our motives are sincere, they will do it more and more. Now our immediate duty is that all our society members are strictly following the rules and regulations and chanting routine. That will make them steady and strong in their positions respectively.</p>

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Jaya Gopala -- Los Angeles 11 January, 1970|Letter to Jaya Gopala -- Los Angeles 11 January, 1970]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">An initiated devotee is given the chance for becoming free from the entanglement of karma wheel. Initiated means beginning, not perfection. The Spiritual Master's business is to guide him to the perfectional point. But if one does not strictly follow the guidance of a bona fide Spiritual Master his initiation does not bear any meaning. The initiation performance is an agreement by the disciples to abide by the order of the Spiritual Master. Therefore, if the Spiritual Master is bona fide and the disciple is serious to abide by His order, then the success is sure. But if a disciple follows strictly the devotional way of life, he is no longer a karmi and all his activities which may appear to be like ordinary work, or it may be activity according to Scriptural injunction, are counted as devotional service. And devotional service in all circumstances is free from the actions and reactions of karma.</p>

So our Society is authorized to award the ministerial status but the students must be equally serious in understanding the philosophy.</p>
