<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Sivananda -- Los Angeles 4 December, 1968|Letter to Sivananda -- Los Angeles 4 December, 1968]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">So far as singing of the Christian hymns, if others sing this we have no objection, it is very nice, but in these hymns they have no definite idea of what is God. We are directly approaching and praying to Krishna for the highest benediction of eternal devotional service so we do not require to repeat the Christian hymns. Our point is to always follow the example of the acaryas and this will bring us to the perfectional stages with no doubt. For the Christian hymn you describe, the example may be given of where one person is appreciating that water is very nice and another is tasting water. So when we taste water the appreciation automatically is there and when we have taste for chanting, automatically the appreciation is there for God.</p>
