Srila Prabhupada Letter to Lokamangala dasa, 2nd February 1975
“You have asked me what I feel is the best engagement for you at this time and in response, I kindly request you to continue to distribute my books full-time. You are very expert in this matter and you can also teach others how to do it. At the present moment, the plays are not as important as our book distribution. So, my desire is that you increase your book distribution more and more and be blessed by Lord Caitanya...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Satsvarupa Maharaja, 19th January 1975
“Regarding your question about the controversial talks going on, this kind of talk is not befitting my advanced students. This is childish. In Krsna's service there is no inferior and superior. Deity worship is just as important as book distribution. It is not material. As mentioned in the Bhagavatam: sravanam kirtanam visno smaranam pada-sevanam arcanam vandanam dasyam, sakhyam atma-nivedanam Sravanam and kirtanam is the...

Keep distributing as many as possible in huge quantities. This is my pleasure. We must make a large...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Vipini dasa, 19th December 1974
“As far as your engagement is concerned I think it is most appropriate for you to consult with the GBC men. But one thing that everyone should understand is that I am not so interested in selling incense as I am in selling books. Distribution of my books is the most important thing. These other things such as selling incense, records, etc., are not so much important as this. If Spiritual Sky is a separate concern then what is...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Sri Govinda dasa, 6th December 1974
“Book distribution is bhagavata-marga and temple worship is pancaratriki-vidhi. Both are important for cultivating Vaisnavism but comparatively speaking bhagavata-marga is more important than pancaratriki-vidhi. As far as possible both should go on in parallel lines but still bhagavata-marga is more important than the...
