Srila Prabhupada Letter to Ramesvara Prabhu, October 25th 1974
“Please accept my humble obeisances. There have been two letters from GBC men to Srila Prabhupada regarding street chanting and book distribution, and there seems to be some discussion about the two. Srila Prabhupada has said that book distribution is more important than street chanting. Book distribution is brhad kirtana. It is literally kirtana in the sense that the books are spoken and therefore, anyone who reads a book is...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Tamala Krsna Goswami, 23rd October 1974
“Regarding sankirtana and book distribution, both should go on, but book distribution is more important. It is brhad kirtana. In Tokyo airport one boy had come up to me asking if he could speak with me. I said yes, and then he asked me 'Swamiji, where do you get all that knowledge in your books?' Of course it is Krsna's knowledge, not mine. But the effect is there. So for kirtana, book distribution is better. Book...

“I look forward to seeing the Italian Sri Isopanisad. In France they have now published. There is very good scope in Europe for this sankirtana movement. If you just spread this chanting in Europe, then it becomes Vaikuntha. Side by side push on the literature distribution as far as possible. This should be done very vigorously, and you will have great success there. My Guru Maharaja was always very pleased when even a small...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Rupanuga dasa, 19th October 1974
“Regarding sankirtana and book distribution, book distribution is also chanting. Anyone who reads the books that is also chanting and hearing. Why distinguish between chanting and book distribution? These books I have recorded and chanted and they are transcribed. It is spoken kirtana. So book distribution is also chanting. These are not ordinary books. It is recorded chanting. Anyone who reads, he is hearing. Book distribution...
