plied to you very clearly for your<br />

understand<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

(3) Some of the general questions are<br />

already answered <strong>in</strong> different pamphlets<br />

& one of them is sent herewith for example<br />

and your understand<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

(4) These questions & answers you<br />

will have to preach to others, so that both<br />

yourself & your audience will be benefited<br />

by that process.<br />

(5) If you cannot go to others outside<br />

your hearth & home, you can do the<br />

preach<strong>in</strong>g work amongst your family<br />

members only and <strong>in</strong> this meet<strong>in</strong>g your<br />

other friends, neighbors & relatives also<br />

can jo<strong>in</strong>.<br />

(6) Hold this meet<strong>in</strong>g regularly for one<br />

hour <strong>in</strong> your home or any other suitable<br />

place near about your home, and chant the<br />

hymns or slokas of 'Bhagwat Geeta' with<br />

reverence & devotion. If possible the<br />

read<strong>in</strong>g of Bhagwat Geeta may be preceeded<br />

& followed by a congregation<br />

chant<strong>in</strong>g of the holy name of God as mentioned<br />

below-Hare <strong>Krishna</strong> . . . . Hare<br />

Hare.<br />

(7) Now relevant questions that may<br />

be aris<strong>in</strong>g out <strong>in</strong> the meet<strong>in</strong>g may either<br />

be answered relevantly & just accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to the authority of "Bhagwat Geeta".<br />

But if it is found difficult the question<br />

may at once be referred to us and it<br />

will be very nicely & clearly answered<br />

by us fo r clear understand<strong>in</strong>g of all<br />

concerned.<br />

(8) Some of the audience also may be<br />

<strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> becom<strong>in</strong>g a preach<strong>in</strong>g<br />

worker of this League & we shall be glad<br />

to substa<strong>in</strong> him <strong>in</strong> the same way as we<br />

shall be deal<strong>in</strong>g with you . We are <strong>in</strong>terested<br />

more <strong>in</strong> preach<strong>in</strong>g members than <strong>in</strong><br />

the sleep<strong>in</strong>g members.<br />

The motto of preach<strong>in</strong>g shall always be<br />

aimed at the ultimate goal of life. The ultimate<br />

goal of life is to re-establish our lost<br />

relation with Godhead who is the Absolute<br />

Whole, and we all liv<strong>in</strong>g entities are<br />

<strong>Letters</strong> <strong>from</strong> Srfla Prabhupiida<br />

His parts & parcels.<br />

We have forgotten our relation with<br />

Godhead <strong>from</strong> time immemorial by<br />

somehow or other & due to our forgetfulness<br />

of the relation, we are roam<strong>in</strong>g<br />

life after life <strong>in</strong> different species of<br />

bodies which are 84 lacs <strong>in</strong> number.<br />

This process of transmigration <strong>from</strong><br />

one body to another after death is a<br />

__ of disease of the liv<strong>in</strong>g entity &<br />

the chance of cur<strong>in</strong>g the disease is possible<br />

very effectively <strong>in</strong> this human<br />

form of life.<br />

The value of this human fo rm of life<br />

is therefore immense and a moment<br />

lost of this life means a loss of immense<br />

value. Do not therefore neglect the<br />

time that you have been allotted by the<br />

laws of Nature and utilise it fully-not<br />

<strong>in</strong> the matter of animal life but <strong>in</strong> human<br />

life. Eat<strong>in</strong>g, sleep<strong>in</strong>g, fear<strong>in</strong>g &<br />

sense gratify<strong>in</strong>g process are meant for<br />

the animal portion of our life, but as<br />

human be<strong>in</strong>g we have got the special<br />

prerogative fo r search<strong>in</strong>g out the cause<br />

of our threefold miseries & to rectify it<br />

<strong>in</strong> this very life without any further Joss<br />

of time.<br />

The League of Devotees stand to serve<br />

the humanity <strong>in</strong> this spirit & the preach<strong>in</strong>g<br />

member's cooperation <strong>in</strong> this noble act of<br />

human behavior will reciprocally benefit<br />

both the League and its preach<strong>in</strong>g members.<br />

The highest benefit that is possible to<br />

do to the humanity is this act of preach<strong>in</strong>g<br />

fo r receiv<strong>in</strong>g the Div<strong>in</strong>e Consciousness of<br />

the liv<strong>in</strong>g be<strong>in</strong>g. By do<strong>in</strong>g so, we do not<br />

only send a liv<strong>in</strong>g entity back to home &<br />

back to Godhead but at the same time we<br />

ourselves also go back to home back to<br />

Godhead. Rise up to the occasion of this<br />

preach<strong>in</strong>g work & be a real benefactor to<br />

the people <strong>in</strong> general & your family members<br />

<strong>in</strong> particular.<br />
