Practically, I do not have any disciples; I select so many masters to train them in the service of the Lord.

I am in due receipt of your nice letter dated Jan. 12, 1968, and have noted carefully the contents.

Practically, I do not have any disciples; I select so many masters to train them in the service of the Lord. Your natural attraction for Krishna makes it show that in your previous birth you have cultured this science of Krishna Consciousness. In your Poetry, last line, I have changed the word "beautiful transforming Being" into "beautiful eternal Being." Krishna does not transform, but He has millions and billions of expansions which are all eternally existing simultaneously. Just like the sun at noon, and the sun at morning time, and the sun at evening time; they are simply by names and they are eternal. To the sun there is no morning or evening or noon, still we say morning sun, evening sun, noon sun. There is a nice verse in Brahma-samhita—that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and has multi-expansions like Rama, Nrsimhadeva, Vamana, etc.</p> | | <span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Jaya Mazo -- Los Angeles 18 January, 1968|Letter to Jaya Mazo -- Los Angeles 18 January, 1968]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Please accept my blessings.
