My Dear Hansadutta,<br />

Please accept my bless<strong>in</strong>gs. I am <strong>in</strong><br />

due receipt of your letter of May 27, 1968,<br />

and noted the contents carefully. As you<br />

are married, there is no need of separation<br />

as you are practic<strong>in</strong>g artificially. You must<br />

live just like a respectable married couple<br />

and earn money as a Grihastra, and spend<br />

50% for <strong>Krishna</strong>-that is the real program.<br />

If you have no sufficient men to form<br />

the Kirtan party at the present moment,<br />

you can go on chant<strong>in</strong>g as usual <strong>in</strong> the temple.<br />

There is no need of becom<strong>in</strong>g hasty.<br />

One or two boys <strong>from</strong> S.F. can jo<strong>in</strong> you at<br />

any moment, that is not a problem. But<br />

you must have some men locally. The process<br />

should be at least 4 to 6 men must be<br />

competent to beg<strong>in</strong> the chant<strong>in</strong>g with <strong>in</strong>struments<br />

and the members of the audience<br />

should be requested to jo<strong>in</strong> them. If<br />

you can make this practice successful,<br />

you can go anywhere. Four to six men,<br />

and the members of the audience will jo<strong>in</strong><br />

together, and then it will be very successful<br />

Kirtan performance. Just try to practice<br />

like this. I am go<strong>in</strong>g to Montreal next<br />

week and after reach<strong>in</strong>g there I shall consider<br />

when and how to go to London, or<br />

any other part of Europe. At present it is<br />

not yet fixed up.<br />
