To Sell Books is an impetus to Remember Krsna

One may sell books or enlist life members or render some other service, but these duties are not ordinary duties. These duties serve as an impetus for remembering Krsna.

Sankirtan – very very Glorious

“One should not desire to be elevated even to a place in the heavenly planetary systems if it has no propaganda to expand the glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, no trace of VaiŠavas, pure devotees of the Lord, and no festivals for spreading Krsna consciousness.
