A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Picture Quotes

This, our book distribution, is the most important task in our society. Therefore I am giving so much stress and I am working so hard on this because this is my life and soul according to the order of my Guru Maharaja and by his grace it is to some extent successful. I took it seriously. I take it seriously now. That is my life and soul. I never tried in India to Construct big temple or even in your country we didn’t. I never tried but i was selling personally books. That is the history.
