Dear Sir: ¶
Please accept my best wishes. I am in due receipt of your letter in Hindi and have noted the contents. To join our mission first of all you have to become a pure Vaisnava. For this purpose you have to remain with us and live the techniques in your life. Then you can be trained up as a preacher. We do not allow anyone become a preacher unless he is strictly following the Vaisnava principles of no eating meat, fish, or eggs; no sex outside of marriage; no gambling; and no taking any kind of intoxication whatsoever. You must also chant 16 rounds Hare Krishna on the japa beads. ¶
So if you are interested, you can practice these things within our association for some time. Then we shall consider you for preaching work. ¶
I hope this meets you well. ¶
Faithfully yours, ¶
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami ¶
