My Dear Swarupa,

Please accept my blessings. I thank you very much for your letter dated 8th June, 1971 and very generous contribution of $50 on the event of your marriage to Susan O'Neil. So now you are married in Krishna Consciousness; that is very nice. But sometimes married life is risky business because being attracted by the wife, one forgets Krishna. But if both the husband and wife remember Krishna, then their householder life becomes Vaikuntha.
Our acharya Bhaktivinode Thakur was the perfect householder and we should take his example. How nice a householder he was and how nice children he produced; one of them is my Guru Maharaj. That is the example. So follow it and become successful in Krishna Consciousness.
Please offer my blessings to your good wife Susan. Hoping this will meet you in good health.

Your ever well-wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
