Tusta Krsna: I am following all the principles, but the dress is external and superficial. Why should we let it hamper the preaching?

Hare krsna Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

My wife Bhaktin Shannon and I were moving from our base in Arkansas to New Vrindavan.
