My dear Madhusudana Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated May 4th, 1977.
I discussed the contents of your letter with His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada stated that our grhasthas should simply chant 50 rounds before conceiving a child. Prabhupada said: “We do not want all these rituals. Chanting Hare Krishna is our only business. According to the Manu-samhita you are all mlecchas and yavanas. You cannot touch the Manu-samhita, what to speak of translating it. So if you try to follow the Manu-samhita then you become a mleccha and yavana and your career is finished.” I hope this makes the matter clear.
Hoping this meets you well.
Your servant,
Tamal Krishna Gosvami
Secretary to Srila Prabhupada
