Dear Guru Maharaja, Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisances (to all your divine forms of a monk, monkey and piggy.)

All glories to AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada!

You mentioned (in different talks) something like that Hari-bhakti-vilāsa is unnecessarily ritualistic.

Is that from this purport, or is it from somewhere else?

Thank you!

HpS - I, agtSP, thought that we already answered this important letter.

The above link seems like what we read, but we also have some recollection of hearing SP talk about it in like a letter etc.

Same thing.

For us it just points out that the major points are repeated with depth and perspective again and again and again in the SB, SP's purports etc. so that we have sufficient info to be intimately connected to him and Krsna.

Then, we must appreciate other important literature in the basic perspective of Srila Prabhupada's comments.

I think Jaiva Dharma is an example of this, that it was also written with very specific time and circumstance content and we have to understand it in terms of SP's books.

We can, must, use all the books, buckets and brooms in the world in KRSNA's service, and SP's books are the proper perspective, no?

Thank you so much for your association.

Hope you find your position as leader of ISKCON!
