Warming Up Before the Prabhupada Marathon
By Vijaya Dasa
Ministry of Book Distribution
I was distributing at Pierce College in Los Angeles. It was slow — very slow. Hardly any books were going out. It’s been quite some time since I’ve been able to go on book distribution (health problems), so it was nice to be out on the front lines again. But this was not what I expected.

As I was leaving, a student came to me and asked, “What are these books about?” I explained to him, “These books help us understand higher spiritual values in life and how to live peacefully in a world filled with so much stress.”
“Really! Wow, I’m into this. Tell me more about them.” Continue reading “Warming Up Before the Prabhupada Marathon”

Go on preaching, that is the highest perfection of activity, and do … Continue reading Letter to Brahmananda – India, 3 November, 1972

The flawless philosophy of Krsna
Many fanatical spiritual movements have come and gone, but without the flawless philosophy of Krsna, they cannot stand. Therefore I want especially that my books should be distributed profusely. This is our substance-real philosophical information, not some weak sentiments. So try for this – to give all men this Krsna philosophy – and many real devotees will come with us back to home, back to … Continue reading The flawless philosophy of Krsna
The basic principle of missionary activities
The pure devotees are not only satisfied by knowing everything about the Lord, but are also eager to broadcast the information to others, for they want to see that the glories of the Lord are known to everyone.

This is the basic principle of missionary activities. – SB 2.5.9 … Continue reading The basic principle of missionary activities
