Creating facilities for the suffering jīvas (02/11/16)
I hope that your program of developing the āśrama is going on nicely. It will certainly be amazing when completed and when you have attracted some devotees, train them in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and spread the Holy Name locally and to all who visit from afar.
When Śrīla Prabhupāda was present in this world I traveled and did saṅkīrtana in the Himalayas and often dreamed of having an āśrama there, but such was not my destiny. If you can do it, that will be wonderful.
I know that you have always tried to please me (often a difficult task), but if you remain sincere and follow the path of sannyāsa strictly as I have done in my life, serving Hari, guru and the Vaiṣṇavas with your body, mind, words, and with full surrender, you will be successful without any doubt. I have always had much love for you and only desire the very best for your well being. The world is becoming more and more crazy everyday and people are suffering everywhere. It is our duty as sannyāsīs to bring them the Holy Name and to create facilities where they can find the shelter of the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
