Srila Prabhupada's Quote Of The Day

August 13

Regarding your accepting a job in the Graphics profession, I think you can accept this job because it is paying, as well as you can get experience in the profession. So as Krishna Das has advised you, I confirm it.

I want also that they shall practice rehearsal of your play, about Lord Caitanya's activities. So if you can send a copy of your drama as soon as possible, they will begin rehearsing how to do it.

August 10

I rejoined Srila Prabhupada on July 24 after being away for 7 months. While away I was married and increased my possessions. I brought one of my new acquisitions to India. It was an electric razor. While giving Srimad Bhagavatam Class one morning, Srila Prabhupada started talking about 'ugra karma'. He said, "One can shave very simply with a blade. There is no difficulty, but now it becomes complicated. One must use electricity. Noise is there and when it breaks then you can not shave. By trying to solve a small problem, so many other problems are made." He never said anything to me directly but I know that he was referring to the fact that I had been shaving in my servant quarters only an hour earlier, and this created a disturbance for him.

Your program of adding six more men to your party is approved by me. Yes, the advanced men can distribute the big books, and the new men the smaller ones. Your entire program is approved by me. By the grace of Krsna, you can teach others at the temples to distribute the books and perform Deity worship, and distributing prasadam. You do this work with my full sanction.

I am enclosing several documents relating to our food distribution program in India, and I have advised Rupanuga Goswami and Atreya Rsi to consult with you and the three of you shall approach important leaders there in Washington D.C. for getting foodstuffs and other substantial aid from your government. As I will be in that vicinity in September, if you arrange some meetings with some big government leaders there in Washington, I shall be happy to come down there from New Vrindaban.

Regarding Jhulanayatra Ceremony, during these five days the Deities' clothings should be changed everyday, and there should be nice Prasadam distribution and Sankirtana as far as possible. If you are able to do it, a nice throne may be constructed on which the Deities can be placed. This throne may be swung gently during Kirtana. That will be very good, and surely the Deities will enjoy the function.
