751113 - Letter to Palika written from Bombay

His Divine Grace
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada


November 13, 1975


Los Angeles

My dear Palika devi dasi,

Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated November 27, 1975. Yes, the separation of man and woman is desirable. If Yamuna and yourself can develop such an institution of a woman's asrama, that will be nice. You are all elderly devotees. I think that this will be a good idea.

If you produce milk, you should not drink milk very much. Rather, you should save it and convert it into ghee and then sell it to the householders and centers and thus maintain your asrama. The excess quantity of ghee may be exchanged by trade. Kirtana is our first duty. The Deity worship should be simple and the eating should be as meager as possible.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
