1. Maintaining the body

    We should always remember that our body is not for sense gratification; it is for Krishna’s service only. And to render very good sound service to Krishna we should not neglect the upkeep of the body. From Srila Prabhupada’s letter to Rayarama — Los Angeles 9 February, 1969
