We Are Not Professional Musicians - 6

"With regard to your question about Bengali style kirtana and
mrdanga playing, one or two styles is best. To introduce more styles is not
good. It will become an encumbrance. If we introduce so much emphasis on
style of kirtana, then simply imitation will go on.

Devotional emotion is the main thing. If we give stress to
instrument and style then attention will be diverted to the style. That will
be spiritual loss."

[letter to Satsvarupa Goswami, 30 June 1976]
