Hare Krsna, Prabhu,

AGTSP

paoho....

How are your spirits and material machine?

We are based in the Boro until 1 June then we are off to West Coast and Peru until 26th July.

We read and scanned your "A Collection...".  It was very interesting and informative but has covered so much territory that we could not get a precise handle on it to respond well.

We have kept it on our table and finally I would make this response:

Your thesis is: Why take Sannyasa when we already have the Bhagavata Dharma of Harinama.

I would respond that it is in the same line as getting married. If we are Suka-deva Goswami then we won't see naked girls when we pass the bathing Ghatta, but if we have some attachment, then Grhastha, Vanaprastha and Sannysas are excellent helps in accelerating the effects of Bhagavata Dharma. Srila Prabhupad and Srila Bh. Siddhanta followed this path. The two previous followed the Babbaji Vesa, kaupina kantha asritau, path, no?

Even if we have no attachment then Sannyasa, VAD, is still good for two reasons:

1. It is a good example for others.

2. It is just the most natural way for organizing the Sankirtan Party in the material world.

So, that is very satisfying essay for us.

Finally, think I got a clear perspective to offer you. See you soon?  Nrsmha-caturdasi??

You know this Purport, Lila, of Narada Muni and his Sannyasa? http://www.vedabase.com/en/sb/1/6/13
