Tosan Krishna Dasa: In 1971, I was living in Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, and I got a draft notice. I wrote to Srila Prabhupada and asked, "What should I do?" He wrote back, "I'll write you a letter to present to the draft board," and the key line in his letter was, "My disciples do not have time to squander in these activities." Luckily my draft board was in San Francisco, and when I presented Prabhupada's letter, it worked. Srila Prabhupada's letter worked.
