We are dhanyatama. We are very rich. How are we becoming rich? We are getting this wealth of holy name and of holy pastimes.This is all wealth, dhanam. It is wealth. This is how one become wealthy and these riches will satisfy one, satisfy the soul. That’s what we are. Other riches, worldly riches may entertain the body and the senses but deep within will be always disatisfaction. Real self will only be satisfied by feeding this Krishna-kathamrtam.
Like the doctors give the inoculation to prevent us from diseases, we must be inoculated by Hare Krishna Mahamantra to prevent ourselves from this material world.
Begging for Krishna, teaches us humility and cuts our false ego.
Book Distribution is bhagavata marga and temple worship is pancaratriki viddhi.

As far as possible both should go on in parallel lines but still bhagavata marga is more important than the other
We all should be thankful to Srila Prabhupada for his divine mercy on us otherwise we too would have been in the lap of Maya. We are safe because we are under his shelter.
We should take shelter of Srila Prabhupada. Taking shelter of his instructions, his purports and his books is very important. He has poured his heart into his books and his books are nondifferent from him so as we open a book, listen, read them, Srila Prabhupada is right there, we get to meet Srila Prabhupada, we get to know Srila Prabhupada.
Lord’s abode is our abode. Where is our motherland, fatherland? Vaikuntha is our motherland, fatherland. This is the fact which we have forgotten and under illusion identifying ourselves with several designations.
The supreme enjoyer is only one. If we take the position of the enjoyer, we are under Maya (illusion).
Attainment of Vaikuntha is only possible only if Shiksha and Diksha are performed by a bonafide sampradaya.
Devotional services should be “unalloyed”, without any mixture & impurities.
