henceforward happily as a householder,
without thinking of a separation from
your wife. According to Vedic wisdom, a
good wife is a great assistant for material
and spiritual prosperity. Even if there is
some deficiency, you should try to correct
it without thinking in the We sternized
way. I hope your wife may be taking interest
in your chanting Sankirtan and reading
Srimad Bhagawatam. As she has become
your life's companion, it is your duty to induce
her, peacefully, in the matter of spiritual
advancement of life.
Material bodily conditions may be
taken as secondary. Your primary occupation
should be Krishna Consciousness. I
am sorry to learn that you have lost some
money, to the extent of $350, and that you
are involved in some court case. In the future,
as far as possible, try to avoid such
entanglements. Of course, Krishna will
save you if you are forced to be so entangled
Now you can distribute the books and
the paper, Back to Godhead, to the best of
your capacity, and if you require more, we
shall be glad to send them.
When you send the remittance, please
also send separate accounts for the books
and the other literatures.
I think I shal be engaged in California
during January and February. So, April
and May will be quite suitable for me to go
to Montreal. To go at both times will not
be possible. If, however, I do not go to
California, then I shall write to you .
I thank your father for his remembering
me, and if I meet him sometime, I
shall not disclose your wedding, rest assured.
Please send me your news at least
twice in a month.
Yo urs affectionately,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
