Selling the Full Set (brahmastra)

[Guest guest]

But why to distribute the Full Set of Prabhupada's books? Why not a lesser

amount of books?

 

In our war against Maya, we have to utilize our complete arsenal. Back to

Godhead, as Srila Prabhupada described, is a single bullet. A subscription to

BTG sent out monthly through the mail is like automatic fire. Then there are

the paperback books. Each one is like a grenade. They are something more likely

to remain in a person's home.

 

Then we have the heavy artillery, bombshells fired one by one or in short

salvos. They are the hardbound books. They cause permanent damage as they

plummet into people's homes. Sometimes they lay latent for many years, waiting

to explode as soon as they are pulled down from a bookshelf.

 

But then there is the brahmastra, the nuclear warhead, the Full Set! This is no

ordinary weapon, but one capable of delivering the final blow against Maya, the

one that can end the war. The Full Set solidifies Krishna consciousness in the

purchasers life, leads them to becoming life members or fully initiated

devotees.

 

To be effective, the Full Set brahmastra must be strategically armed. ISKCON

must have distributors trained in the art of launching this devastating weapon

into the homes of the fortunate. These soldiers, although expert in all types

of warfare, will take advantage of any opportunity when it presents itself to

deliver a Full Set. As Maya retreats, more and more of these opportunities will

arise.

 

Every temple is a base from which we send out our soldiers to battle Maya, and

so should have at least one man capable of launching Full Set brahmastra.

 

It is not necessary to decrease any other programmes, but just add this

powerful weapon to our arsenal. As Srila Prabhupada has said: ''We will always

have customers for our books... now simply sell books and become rich.''

 

That is why now we have introduced in Mumbai the full set an we have already

sold around 10 sets:

Haribol Nayana-ranjana das Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances,

 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

 

My name is Bhakta Andreas and I´m trying to distribute Srila Prabhupadas

books here in Chile. Recently I have read your message and got very

inspired. Here in South America we have a hard time getting books, we never

have all books (Caitanya Caritamrta was never printed in Spanish). Now I

hope to get some Bhagavatam-sets (first time that full sets reach here).

Chile is quite poor and there is no stable congregation that could support

giving the books more cheaper to people. So I´m trying to distribute more

big books (thats actually what Prabhupada wanted) and ask you to give me

more hints of how to distribute more quantity of big books to people. As you

say there must be training...

Soon I´m also going to Los Angeles to make some Airport distribution there

and get inspiration.

 

Hope this meets you well

 

Bhakta Andreas
