Srila Prabhupada Letter to Gurukrpa, 14th December 1976
“Now with Bhagavad-gita translated in Japanese our standing will be there. Let us sell Bhagavad-gita only in plain dress, we don't require saffron dress. Try to sell to the professors and at the school colleges, as we are doing in other countries. Book distribution is our best preaching work. But, all our men must follow the regulative principles. That must not be...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Srutadeva dasa, 11th August 1975
“I have read this week's newsletter and I like it very much. You are doing very nice service. I have got all blessings upon you, and I am ordering all temples to send you regular news. You may send them a copy of this my letter. You are a very nice boy, and you should be encouraged. It is very nice, and a great service to our cause.

Srila Prabhupada Letter to Sudama, 16th February 1973

But if the facility for serving the Deities is not there, then we should not be discouraged. This is real detachment. When Caitanya Mahaprabhu was touring all over India He did not bring the Deities with...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Yamuna dasi, August 12th 1969
“Regarding your questions about details for Deity worship, I have already mentioned in a previous letter that I shall teach you these things when I arrive in London. In the meantime there is no necessity for you to increase Deity worshiping. For the time being these new Deities may be put away nicely until I personally install them and instruct you very nicely how to tend for them correctly. For the present you may join...
