As for the GBC members, if we study one sloka daily in our classes it will take you more than 50 years to finish Srimad Bhagawatam alone, so at least 50 years matter is already there minimum. So we can finish Bhagawatam once in our lifetime and the next generation can begin again, like that. From a practical point of view, as I have not yet finished Srimad Bhagawatam and we have got now 100 branches, so by the time I am finished with Bhagawatam there must be at least 1000 branches. I have worked alone, now you are so many. Our scope is unlimited, resources unlimited, so we must be exceptionally enthusiastic and sober-minded and responsible for working in that spirit.

720616 - Letter to Satsvarupa written from Los Angeles

I act like a king because no one can defeat me, and similarly, you should take your responsibility very, very seriously as being the representative of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Who is God Himself, and always remember that you are one of the few men I have appointed to carry on my work throughout the world and your mission before you is huge. Therefore, always pray to Krishna to give you strength for accomplishing this mission by doing what I am doing. My first business is to give the devotees the proper knowledge and engage them in devotional service, so that is not very difficult task for you, I have given you everything, so read and speak from the books and so many new lights will come out. We have got so many books, so if we go on preaching from them for the next 1,000 years, there is enough stock [handwritten]. Just like we have spent one day discussing one sloka, so you introduce this system in all of the temples, and very quickly the devotees will make spiritual progress by getting knowledge.So far the children are concerned they should know simply four things: 1. Simply think of Krishna always, 2. become Krishna's devotee, 3. offer Krishna worship, 4. offer Krishna obeisances. These four things should be taught and everything else will follow nicely and they will be learned persons. Give them nice food, let them play. Some can be cowherd boys, some can be cows, like that. Play and take food and be Krishna Conscious. As soon as they begin playing they will be inspired, only one has to direct how to play, that's all. They should attend the regular aratrikas and dance before the Deities, just like the children are doing in Los Angeles, and there should not be separate special aratrikas for the children, although they may also learn how to do aratrika in the class before one picture. They must all go to bed by nine pm and arise at four am for mongala-aratrika, and in day-time a little rest.As for the GBC members, if we study one sloka daily in our classes it will take you more than 50 years to finish Srimad Bhagawatam alone, so at least 50 years matter is already there minimum.
