....distribution of literature is our real preaching. ...the success of your

preaching will be substantiated by how many books are sold.

1972

 

 

Now you distribute these books by millions all over the world, then everyone

will see how wonderful is Vrndavana. That is the best preaching work.

Yes, that is a good proposal, print many many books in African language and

distribute widely, that is real preaching work. If you sell a book to

someone, that is better than your speaking to them -- what will your three

minutes' preaching do? But if they read a book it may turn their life. Go on

preaching, that is the highest perfection of activity, and do not worry for

anything, Krishna is so much appreciative of this preaching work that He

will give you every facility, as much as you have ambition.

....distribute books, as many as possible. If anyone hears something

philosophy from us, that will help him. But if he purchases one book that

may turn his life. So selling books is the best preaching activity.

I am especially encouraged by your increasing the distribution of books.

That is our primary business, to sell these transcendental literatures

profusely all over the world.

His Divine Grace also said the other morning, "Book sales means injecting

the poison of Krishna consciousness. How successful the poison is injected

can be judged by the amount of books distributed."

Be assured that there is no more direct way to preach than to distribute

Krsna conscious books.
