Celebrating the Advent of Bhagavad Gita
By Pancharatna Dasa Dear prabhu, Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Today is the auspicious celebration of the advent of Bhagavad-gita, delivered by Sri Krishna to Arjuna in Kuruksetra more than 5000 years ago. For me it is especially a day to thank Srila Prabhupada for bringing us Bhagavad-gita As It Is. We all know how much of himself Srila Prabhupada gave to his books.He...
Distribute as many books as humanly possible…
The internal substance of our movement will be recognized to the degree the devotees actually live by what Srila Prabhupada has taught us, and live by the example that he has set. That is where the real integrity will manifest. Prabhupada wanted us to distribute his books by the millions. Now is the December marathon. How wonderful it is that we have the opportunity to actually accept inconveniences, tolerate the dualities and...

Sivarama Swami writes: Thirty years ago I was doing the Prabhupada marathon at the Chicago airport. One afternoon, we devotees were so intoxicated by distributing books that we decided to show that one doesn't have to speak to sell books, that book distribution just depends on our state of consciousness.

So did a young beer-drinker about to sit down at a table on the sidewalk outside Little Jack Horner's pub. An Estonian girl with...
Let us distribute the books with great enthusiasm
The devotees are going out each day to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. This is such a wonderful, wonderful service. To give a person medical assistance is good because it gives the person relief from the bodies for some time, but to give a person the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, as Srila Prabhupada has reveled to the world through his books; is to give the person the opportunity to enter into the spiritual world, it is...
Hospital book Distribution
I went on book distribution with a Bhaktin who is modest and would not like me to advertise her name in this story. She helped me see a new aspect of book distribution, so I must glorify her. We set up a table in a parking lot where I'd had some luck distributing books in the past. However, only a few people bought books, and several hours had gone by. She said to me, "I think we should distribute books in hospitals. Would it...
