Prabhupada's Response

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: As the 1960s turned to the 1970s and the movement grew, the letters were less filled with philosophy. The BBT was producing Prabhupada's books and Prabhupada referred most philosophical inquiries to the GBC men. Prabhupada kindly responded to one such philosophical inquiry as follows: " It is a very important question and I'm glad that you have asked me, but I think from now on the GBC men may be consulted in all such matters of temple management and affairs. I am always very encouraged to hear from my disciples and to reply to them, but now I am an old man and I have an inclination for philosophy and translating, and if all day and night I am reading and answering and signing letters then I cannot utilize this, the fag-end of my life, to give you so many nice literatures"
