All students should be encouraged to write
some article after reading Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita and
Teachings of Lord Caitanya. They should realize the information, and
they must present their assimilation in their own words.
Letter to Brahmananda -- Los Angeles 1 July, 1969
I am very much encouraged to learn that
you are bold enough to challenge any nondevotee as you did with that
impersonalist yoga student. That should be the temperament of all our
preachers. We should not be aggressive, but we should not
tolerate any sort of nonsense.
Letter to Malati -- Los Angeles 28 January, 1969
You should all read very carefully Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita,
and you should be able to answer all questions like this, and only in
rare cases approach me. But
it is
important that our students must be able to answer all questions for
becoming preachers.
Letter to Aniruddha -- Los Angeles 14 November, 1968 Preaching shouldn't depend on me only. My
disciples should become all good preachers, and that depends on
studying the books nicely so that you can arrive at the right conclusion.
