Category:Increasing Our Book Distribution (Disciples of SP)

Theme Analysis

The distribution of transcendental literature is the driving force behind the global Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Śrīla Prabhupāda considers his books and magazines to be the absolute backbone and greatest weapon of the society. He trains his disciples to understand that book distribution is their primary business; whenever distribution figures increase, it is the ultimate proof that all other temple programs are automatically successful. He continually pushes his followers to use their intelligence to place these literatures into universities, libraries, and the hands of the general public. While demanding this unlimited expansion, he strictly enforces the purity of the process—forbidding disciples from adopting improper dress or compromising the philosophy just to make a sale. By vigorously distributing authentic texts like Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, his disciples perform the highest welfare work, bringing immense auspiciousness to the world and earning the profound blessings of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

  • The Primary Business: Selling transcendental literatures is the primary duty of the society; an increase in book distribution is the greatest indicator of a center's overall success.
  • Targeting the Intelligentsia: Placing books and magazines in universities and public libraries is a crucial strategy that brings great prestige to the movement and reaches thoughtful men.
  • Pleasing the Supreme Lord: There is no better way to attract the mercy of Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya than by enthusiastically distributing Their divine message to the suffering souls.
  • Maintaining Purity: The society's success relies on presenting the absolute truth without adulteration; disciples must maintain sober, high-class standards and avoid dressing like hippies to increase sales.
  • Unlimited Expansion: There is no historical precedent for religious philosophy being distributed in such magnitude, and disciples must continually use their brains to expand this unprecedented success worldwide.
