72.01“Practically the leadership of this Krsna consciousness Society is now in the hands of you my older disciples and I am very pleased that you are taking such huge responsibility very seriously. In this way remain very sober and cool-headed and always think of Krsna somehow or other, and there is no doubt this movement will one day conquer all over the world. One thing is, that I want the highest standards of devotional service be maintained. Our routine work-rising early, cleansing, chanting, temple worship, sankirtana, study—these things must go on very nicely, and if they become improved more and more, and are not neglected or in anyway decreased, then our all other activities will be successful. As president, you must now become very convinced of our Krsna philosophy and very enthusiastically and soberly maintain temple routine standards, increase book distribution, satisfy the devotees, and in every way become the perfect Krsna conscious example of angel.”
