Through … encouragement itself, … came for so many Prasanthi Nilayam children to receive so many kinds of prizes. He himself, too, gave a wonderful display.
From now on, not only in these games and songs, the responsibility of making ideal students lies on the teachers. The students are very virtuous and have śraddhā and Bhakti. But … the people who give zeal and encouragement are very few. You must give them the right advice at the right time.

Only those who saw it know how many … materials they used. They stitched their dresses themselves. There … in Brindavan, zeal and encouragement grew without measure among the students. With the aim of showing in this disco dance … International oneness, one boy went to Indonesia at his own expens… and brought back Mexican dresses from there. They stitched all the dresses themselves. If … are full of zeal, they set their hand to the work. So we must not break such zeal.
