to purchase Prabhupada’s books. That is the best preaching
always.

Due to baldness over most of his head in later years, Srila
Prabhupada did not have a sikha, for some time; later he grew a
sikha at the bottom of his divine head where there was still some
hair.

Krsna is eternal and is eternally worshiped, even by Prahlad
Maharaj in Satya-yuga (before Lord Rama’s advent) (see
Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.5.30).

Please tell S, as she has asked, that certainly more than 16 rounds
can be chanted daily. The more the better. But other services
should not be neglected.

It is to your credit that you have found out one sincere soul
by your preaching. The more you preach, the more Krsna will
respond; that is a fact.

It is good also that you are relishing the nectar from Srila
Prabhupada’s books. Read, chant, preach, serve, associate with
devotees—this is the simple and effective process given by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Not all the names of Visnu are equal in potency. In one
sense, yes, in another, no. Names of Krsna like Nandasuta,
Vrindavanchandra, Gopinath are more pleasing to Him than
names like Vibhu, Prajapati, or Lokaswami as they are more
intimate. In Caitanya-caritamrita it is described that chanting
the name of Rama is equivalent to chanting a thousand names of
Visnu, and chanting Krsna once is equivalent to chanting Rama
three times. In one sense, all are absolute and therefore equal. In
another, deeper understanding, there are also gradations in the
Absolute.
