Srila Prabhupada Letter to Satsvarupa, 10th February 1973

“As far as staying in some boy's apartment, this is permissable if everyone in the house agrees to follow the principles while you are there. That is no smoking, no drinking, etc. You may also install a small altar there with a picture of guru and Gauranga and the spiritual masters there and perform mangala-arati every morning and hold classes etc. Under these circumstances you can live in others apartments. The point is we must not lower our position but we must educate others to come up to our standards.”
