<div class="heading">We should always remember that Krishna is the only order giver. His order is received through the agency of the spiritual master. The bona fide spiritual master is the manifest representative of Krishna. The spiritual master is described in the scriptures as good as Krishna because he is the most confidential servitor of Krishna. To please the spiritual master is to please Krishna. On this principle we must advance our Krishna Consciousness and there is no danger.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Letter to Nandarani, Krsna Devi, Subala, Uddhava -- Delhi 3 October, 1967|Letter to Nandarani, Krsna Devi, Subala, Uddhava -- Delhi 3 October, 1967]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Please accept my blessings. I am very glad to know that you are now in Los Angeles &amp; organizing the most important temple. I had great desire to have our center in L.A. &amp; by grace of Krishna you have fulfilled my desire. I had another great desire to open a temple in London and hoped also that Kirtanananda after accepting sannyasa would do this job. For this purpose he was given and introductory letter to a London lady along with expenses. However out of his whim he did not go to London but went directly to New York. This is a terrible example and it has shocked me. Your service attitude encourages me because Krishna can never be an order supplier. We should always remember that Krishna is the only order giver. His order is received through the agency of the spiritual master. The bona fide spiritual master is the manifest representative of Krishna. The spiritual master is described in the scriptures as good as Krishna because he is the most confidential servitor of Krishna. To please the spiritual master is to please Krishna. On this principle we must advance our Krishna Consciousness and there is no danger.</p>
<p>Dayananda, Nandarani and Uddhava first went to L.A. to open this branch &amp; in the absence of Dayananda, Subala and Krishna devi have come to help. Whenever there is new branch of our society for Krishna Consciousness I become very very happy, &amp; my blessings in heart and soul are with you. I went to your country for spreading this information of Krishna Consciousness &amp; you are helping me in my mission although I am not physically present there but spiritually I am always with you. Our procedure is very simple and consistent. We chant, we read from Bhagavad-gita &amp; Srimad-Bhagavatam and we distribute prasadam.</p>
<p>Another thing I request is that everything in the Temple should be kept nice and clean. Everyone should wash hands before touching anything of Krishna's. We should always remember that Krishna is the purest &amp; similarly only the pure can associate with Him. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.</p>
<p>As to my returning to U.S., I wish to get a permanent visa this time so that I may work without being checked as to my moving. Please therefore consult Mukunda (S.F.), Brahmananda (N.Y.) Janardana (Montreal), Rayarama (Boston) &amp; send me either immigration papers or permanent visa on the strength of becoming minister of the society. I am now 90% fit to go to your country. I am starting for Calcutta on the 9th and my address there is on the front of envelope.</p>
