One thing is, that I want that the highest standards of devotional service be maintained. Our routine work--rising early, cleansing, chanting, temple worship, sankirtan, study--these things must go on very nicely, and if they become improved more and more, and are not neglected or in any way decreased, then our all other activities will be successful.

These are all very nice boys and girls, that I can understand, so now you take charge of giving them all good guidance and help on the path back to Home, back to Godhead. Practically the leadership of this Krishna Consciousness Society is now in the hands of you my older disciples and I am very pleased that you are taking such huge responsibility very seriously. In this way remain very sober and cool-headed and always think of Krishna somehow or other, and there is no doubt this Movement will one day conquer all over the world. One thing is, that I want that the highest standards of devotional service be maintained. Our routine work--rising early, cleansing, chanting, temple worship, sankirtan, study--these things must go on very nicely, and if they become improved more and more, and are not neglected or in any way decreased, then our all other activities will be successful. As president you now become very convinced of our Krishna philosophy and very enthusiastically and soberly maintain temple routine standards, increase book distribution, satisfy the devotees, and in every way become the perfect KC example of angel.I am very encouraged that so many new boys and girls are coming forward to join our Hare Krishna Movement. That is a good sign that you are advancing very nicely in Krishna's service. In this way go on--Krishna life is the very highest type of activity of the living entity, the topmost development of consciousness, so I am very much appreciating that you are becoming yourself Krishna Consciousness and that you are helping me in this way. Thank you very much.
