1. Kirtana: satisfying the Lord, not artistry, should be the concern

    Krishna Kirtana is not for earning livelihood. Krishna Kirtana is not meant for entertaining the public for demonstration of arts. It is dynamic service to the Lord. We do not therefore mind so much about the artistic presentation of Krishna Kirtana but we want to see how much a devotee is satisfying the Supreme Will.

    (Srila Prabhupada, letter to Jadurani, December 12, 1967)
