Thanks so much for publishing your financial statement. Not only does it increase our confidence in your spiritual leadership, it sets a good example. It also shows how little money it takes to do a lot of great preaching service for Srila Prabhupada.

Tracking the movements of Laksmi-devi in service to Her Lord is as interesting as anything else I can think of in Krishna consciousness. I just wish I would be more scrupulous about doing that in my own affairs.

Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Hope you are serving blissfully and in good health.

Thank you very much for publishing every year a summary of your personal finances. This very simple act should be adopted by all ISKCON leadership in an attempt to demonstrate to the body of devotees that there is a desire to be accountable financially, spiritually and ethically.

As always, you have taken a bold and honest step forward that is exemplary.

your servant,
Laksmi Nrsimha Dasa (ACBSP)
