Srila Prabhupada Letter to Gadi dasa, 16th February 1976
“Regarding distribution of my books, somebody may say something, but that doesn't matter. Somehow or other they are taking our Krsna book. However it should be done so there is not legal implication. And aggressiveness is not good. That should be...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Dr. Naik, 7th August 1975
“Regarding the free distribution of books, there is no need in this country. They have sufficient money and sometimes they pay more than the price.

Srila Prabhupada Letter to Tripurari dasa, 12th November 1974
“This book selling is the real preaching of our cult. Especially when you sell Caitanya-caritamrta and Srimad-Bhagavatam. They will understand what we mean by reading these books.

Srila Prabhupada Letter to Gurudasa, 1st December 1968
“Your idea of arranging a meeting with all of the influential people who are interested in your activities is an excellent suggestion and may prove very good results.
