Rāmeśvara: Kīrtanānanda has gone, but now they are a little confused what should be done next. They originally . . . the plan was that he was going to come here to be your secretary. So now they need some new instruction. So we thought Jagadīśa could call and invite him to come to America to preach.
Prabhupāda: That is better. That is better. To write some letters here, that is not so important. But if he can preach, and he . . . at least, we are expecting—he's old sannyāsī; he knows how to preach—let him do that.
Jagadīśa: So I'll suggest that he goes straight to America instead of coming here.
Prabhupāda: If he's coming here, let him come. We shall talk together. There is no secrecy.
Jagadīśa: I'll leave it up to him, as he prefers.
Prabhupāda: Yes. If he's coming, don't stop him. That is the point.
Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, I've got a letter here from Jayādvaita and from Jagannātha dāsa regarding some corrections. These are two books that are in production right now. So would it be all right to ask you them?
Prabhupāda: What is that book? (break) Sarvātmana yaḥ śaraṇaṁ śaraṇyam (SB 11.5.41). Factually Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate shelter. If he has taken that shelter, he's free, immune. And that Kṛṣṇa has confirmed here. Ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo . . . (BG 18.66). If he's not Kṛṣṇa conscious, then if he gives such a duty, he's liable to fall. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣ . . . "Because you are giving up all other duties, don't think that you'll be liable to punishment. I'll give you protection." So the conclusion is: if one is not fully Kṛṣṇa conscious, then he's obliged to do his duty. This is the easiest way to become free from all obligation—to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. That, I think, Duśyanta-rāja? Duśyanta-rāja.
Pradyumna: Duśyanta-rāja.
Prabhupāda: Or Śāntanu. Śāntanu. Śāntanu Mahārāja. He, in the presence of his elder brother, he became king. His elder brother left. So it was considered sinful. But he requested his elder brother to come and take charge of the . . . He said, "No, I am not going." Then he took. Otherwise it was not in the proper order.
