On the advent of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

“Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada immediately took up the land. He continued that ‘There is no need of establishing many temples. Better we publish some books.’ He said like that.

“He said that ‘We started our this Gaudiya Matha in Ultadanga. The rent was very small, and if we could gather two to two-hundred-fifty rupees, it was very nice, going on. But since this J. V. Datta has given us this stone, marble stone thakurbari, our competition between the disciples has increased. So I don’t like any more. Rather, I would prefer to take out the marble stone and sell it and publish some books.’ Continue reading “On the advent of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura”

Submitted by Madhumangala Dasa
Dar es Salaam
Diary Entry 28th February 2012

I had a blissful day distributing books in downtown Dar es Salaam. The main street was a hive of activity – taxis, busses, a huge sea of people coming and going, street vendors on every corner selling everything from belts, wallets to exotic fruits of all kinds.

People would stare at me with a curious look, but all the time smiling and greeting me. I stopped one barrister on his way to court, dressed in his court dress, and traditional white shirt and neck tie. I began to speak to him and told him the reason the laws are not working, is because Continue reading “Law Books for the next 10 000 years”

Letter to Brahmananda – India, 3 November, 1972

Yes, that is a good proposal, print many many books in African language and distribute widely, that is real preaching work. If you sell a book to someone, that is better than your speaking to them—what will your three minutes’ preaching do? But if they read a book it may turn their life. Go on preaching, that is the highest perfection of activity, and do … Continue reading Letter to Brahmananda – India, 3 November, 1972

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
