We have no other business than to make people happy

Below is an e-mail from Ekanatha Prabhu explaining the

text in question. In his own words "many others I

cannot trace." As a matter of personal policy, I do

not like to broadcast information that cannot be

traced.

Dear Lilananda Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

These texts are a compilation of bits and pieces from

various sources.

Some are part of conversations, some are from

vyasa-puja books,

and many others I cannot trace.

 

May this meet you well.

Thank you very much.

 

Your servant,

Ekanatha dasa

"We have no other

business than to make people happy""We have no other

business than to make

people happy. By book distribution your country will

become happy and

prosperous. No cheating, no politics, no personal

ambition, not a tinge of

personal sense gratification--this is our mission.

There are no such things in

the Krsna consciousness movement. Our only ambition is

to live among the

devotees and execute the mission of our predecessors,

Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

and Lord Krishna .... "My Guru Maharaja--physically he

is not here, but in

every action he is there. So I am not going to die. You

are my bodies. By your

words book distribution will double. Yes, be doubly

blessed . . . Don’t you see

that this printing is my life? Then do it; otherwise

you are killing me. If you

don’t arrange this, then you are half-killing me.

Either kill me full or give

me peace. How do you expect me to have any peace if you

don’t organize this? I

want to immediately spread Krsna consciousness

everywhere. Our unique

contribution is Deity worship and large scale

distribution of Indian cultural

tradition. This is the Krsna consciousness movement.

"If you love me you will

not fight. Stay united......... Maintain the Society in

my absence. Do not let

it deteriorate. Sometimes it gives me pain that I am in

prison (ill) because I

am a freedom lover. Out of sentiment for my Guru

Maharaja’s order I started in

the U.S. with Rs. 40. Still, even in this condition I

am trying to write books,

and practically I am whipping them, ‘Sell books, sell

books.’ Lately I am

becoming morose because I am becoming tired. So if you

all work vigorously to

spread Krsna consciousness, then my moroseness will go.

"Religion means direct

touch with God. They have no idea what is God, so how

can they know about

religion? Now it is in your hands. You are resourceful,

intelligent; now spread

this Krsna philosophy and challenge this Mayavada

philosophy. This is a new,

historical renaissance. Historians will note this

period, how the world was

changed....Historians will note this period, how the

world was changed"
