BOOKS ARE THE BASIS
This book distribution was my Guru Maharaja’s purpose. He said that I have got so many temples and now in Calcutta I have got a marble temple, but I would have wished that if by selling marbles I could publish and distribute books.
[Letter to Ramesvara 14 Nov 1975]
Books are the basis of our movement. Whatever appreaciation we are getting on account of our books, it is because we are following the path chalked out by exalted devotees. We are not writing something whimsical.
Chanting Hare Krishna With Mridangas and Kartals…. this is also Kirtan; when you Distribute books, that is also Kirtana.
“These books are so potent that anyone who reads thaem is sure to become Krishna Consicous. So it is very valuable service to distribute our books.” – Srila Prabhupada.
Books Should be published and distributed profusely all over the world. Practically, books are the basis of Krishna Consciousness Movement. Without our books, our preaching will have no effect.
