"Before coming to your country I took sannyasa in l959, I was publishing Back

to Godhead since l944. After taking sannyasa I was more engaged in writing my

books without any attempt to construct temples or to make disciples like my

other God-brothers in India.

"I was not very much interested in these matters because my Guru Maharaja

liked very much publication of books than constructing big, big temples and

creating some neophyte disciples. As soon as he saw that His neophyte disciples

 

were increasing in number, He immediately decided to leave this world. To

accept

disciples means to take up the responsibility of absorbing the sinful reaction

of life of the disciple.

"At the present moment in our ISKCON campus, politics and diplomacy has

entered. Some of my beloved students on whom I counted very, very much have

been

involved in this activity which I consider as disrespectful. So I have decided

to retire and divert attention to book writing and nothing more.

"Please therefore let me know how far you can all help me in this connection

and what are the manuscripts ready for printing. I think I shall now stop all

other activities except publishing of my books." (Satsvarupa, 7/27/70)
