- Without his help in this way it would have been an impossible task for me to start the paper Back-to-Godhead
- Working so hard to please Krsna only out of love for me, so there can be no question of force if love is there
Y
- Yes, I have seen the spot for the factory-mandir. Go ahead with the plans and send me a copy of the plans. It is very nice that Mr. Patnai will help us. Persist in that direction. He will be a great help if he can get some land for us
- You are experienced and if you take up the charge of our gurukula, it will be a great relief for me, but the principles are described above. We do not want anything more or less
- You are making arrangements for me but also I think you should make arrangements for calling your wife. The husband and wife must live together for helping one another in developing Krishna Consciousness
