Srila Prabhupada Letter to Tamala Krsna Goswami, 23rd October 1974

“Regarding sankirtana and book distribution, both should go on, but book distribution is more important. It is brhad kirtana. In Tokyo airport one boy had come up to me asking if he could speak with me. I said yes, and then he asked me 'Swamiji, where do you get all that knowledge in your books?' Of course it is Krsna's knowledge, not mine. But the effect is there. So for kirtana, book distribution is better. Book distribution is also kirtana.”
