“Yes, I am glad to learn that the brahmacarinis are engaged in assisting work and cleaning. There are the most important duties for the brahmacarinis-namely cleaning. Caitanya Mahaprabhu personally used to inspect temple cleaning and if He would see a little particle of dust He would remark ‘Oh! You have not done very nicely’. So try to follow His footsteps in the matter of cleansing. By nicely cleansing one can get promotion in the spiritual kingdom in some of the Vaikuntha planets—it is so nice.”

I am so much pleased to receive your letter dated Hrisikesa 22, 484 Caitanya Era and I am so glad to learn that our London temple is very, very well managed under your supervision. Kindly continue this standard of temple management-that will make me very happy.”

“Another nice news is that all of you women are going out daily for preaching. Very good. Continue it whole-heartedly.”

“So if you are afraid of your husband’s taking sannyasa, I shall not give him sannyasa order at any time. Be rest assured. Your husband is already a householder sannyasa because he has no other business than to serve Krsna. You can be living peaceful and children and always engaged in Krsna consciousness. One should become sannyasa by action, not by dress. In Bhagavad-gita it is said that any person who doesn’t work for himself but for Krsna only is perfect sannyasa and perfect yogi, never mind what order he lives in. That is the opinion of Lord Caitanya also”
