My Dear Sriji devi dasi:

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your Vyasa Puja offering dated August 22, 1974, received just now and I am very glad to receive it.

I thank you very much for your sentiments. Satisfaction of the spiritual master is the secret of advancement in spiritual life. The Lord is the original spiritual master, and a person in the disciplic succession can convey the message of the Lord as it is to his sincere disciple.

We cannot manufacture our own process, therefore mental speculation does not at all help us in spiritual life. One simply has to surrender himself to his guru and everything will be revealed to him.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

My dear Madhudvisa Swami, Ksirodakasayi das, Nayanabhirama das, Purnaprajna and Narayani, Balbhadra das and Ratnaranjini, Nalinikanta das and Ratnesvari devi,

Please accept my blessings. I beg to thank you for your kind appreciations on the Vyasa Puja Day.

Your sentiments are appreciated by me. It is stated by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura it is only by pleasing the Spiritual Master that one can be assured of pleasing Krishna.

So my only request to my disciples all over the world on this day is to go on pushing on this movement with determination and sincerity, rigidly following the principles I have given you.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
