Srila Prabhupada Letter to Sri Galim, December 17th 1971
“One thing, you say that literature distribution is low; actually, the test of the strength of our preaching work is that we sell many books and magazines. So what is the difficulty? Simply preach very sincerely to anyone and everyone, and go on in this way preaching more and more, and the demand for our books will...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Hiranyagarbha dasa, November 22nd 1971
“A man is known by his notions and by his words. But sometimes it may appear that he is doing something, but he may be thinking something else. So a man is really known when he speaks, then everything is revealed. So if this Mayavadi sannyasi does not speak, then he can fool everyone. But if you force him to speak he will expose himself, therefore he is silent. Even he remains silent, we shall speak very loudly and expose these...

Srila Prabhupada Letter to Lalita Kumara, November 15th 1971
“If you simply push on this one activity of distributing my books, your all success will be there. I have hatched this ‘transcendental plot' for getting money by selling my books, and if we stick only to this plan, and use our brain for selling books, there will easily be sufficient money. I have recently informed the GBC to allow each temple to keep 25% of the money they collect from direct book and magazine sales for...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Karandhara, October 9th 1971
“Regarding printing our books and literatures, I may inform you in this connection that I saw one bulletin of ‘Indian Railways' in which it was specifically advised that every railway servant should see to it that the wheels of the carriages or vehicles must be moving always, which means that the railway is going nicely. Similarly all of us should see that our literatures are profusely distributed. That means that our...
