Yogindra Gets A Second Chance to Distribute Books

For several months, I had practically given up distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and even feeling connected to the spirit of sharing Krsna consciousness. Nothing prevented me from going out on books I just lost my enthusiasm. Usually, I would go alone, which probably had something to do with it. This is the one thing that definitely changed, having left the association of fellow monks, whose enthusiasm kept me bound to the...

Love is the Power

During 21 year of sankirtana practice I understood that the most important thing in spiritual book distribution is your purity. The more you love God, the more spiritual vision you have to help people. Sankirtana is divine love and compassion. Nothing more. It does not have anything with material business. You can try, but nobody will take scriptures from your hands. Rather some of them will spit in your face, because they are...

Selling Books After Class in Russia

by Mahadyuti Dasa In Nizhny Novogorod, a city in Russia, after a Bhagavatam class attended by about thirty devotees, I told everyone that Srila Prabhupada once said that anyone who doesn't attend mangal-arotik will be fined and the fine is to sell one KRSNA book (lecture in Los Angeles, 1 June 1972). And then I said that since most of them had missed mangal-arotik, they each had to buy a KRSNA book and...
