“The Sankirtana devotees are very dear to Lord Krishna. Because they are doing the field work of book distribution, Krishna has immediately recognized them as true servants. Just like during war time, a farm boy or ordinary clerk who goes to fight for his country on the front, immediately becomes a national hero for his sincere effort. Similarly, Lord Krishna immediately recognizes a preacher of Krishna Consciousness who takes all risks to deliver His message.”
(Srila Prabhupada – Letter to Uttamasloka, December 11, 1975)
Today, our lives are decorated with many amazing jewels – loving devotees, the Holy Name of Krishna and most beautiful Deities. Not long ago, most of us were just lost on the streets of the busy world, preoccupied with our insignificant problems and heading nowhere fast.
Then one day, perhaps at the corner of some street, someone approached us with a spiritual gift that would change our lives for forever. Like windows to the spiritual world, the transcendental literatures translated by Srila Prabhupada have indeed given spirituality to millions of people around the world. In our endeavors to reciprocate with this most precious gift, we find an unparalleled emphasis on sharing the wealth of Krsna Consciousness through process of sharing this knowledge: book distribution!
Contrary to popular belief, distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books is not hard and scary . Through proper training and guidance, it can actually become a fun service! This weekend is your chance to grab the opportunity to start your own journey in the path of sharing Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental books.
