 Motivation
Let us all try to please Srila
Prabhupada on at least this
one point (even if we cannot do
anything else perfectly) for his
transcendental pleasure….
<HG Svavaasa
Dasa, a beloved
disciple of our Srila
Prabhupada, gives
us the following
precious
remembrance of
His Divine Grace >
During a darshan with
Srila Prabhupada in
the Atlanta Temple we
asked him….
 “Srila Prabhupada,
How can we increase
our devotion and our
desire to distribute
more books?”
 “Srila Prabhupada,
How can we increase
our devotion and our
desire to distribute

Go isn’t
 We are sitting there
eagerly awaiting some
special formula to
expand our book
distribution.
Srila Prabhupada
sat there and
didn`t even look
at us . . .
Srila Prabhupada
sat there and
didn`t even look
at us . . .
He was looking
above us,
and we
kept waiting . . .
Finally he said,
“If you want
to increase book
distribution . . .
if you really want, . . .
 . . . I have
only one
recom-
mendation . . .
. . . if you really want,
I have only one
recommendation . . .
. . . if you really want,
I have only one
recommendation . . . ”
 We were
holding our
breath.
He wouldn`t say it
immediately.
 Then he
looked at us
and said,
“If you want to
increase, then
you must chant
your rounds
uninterrupted.”
 . . . you must
chant your
rounds
uninterrupted. . .
 . . . you must
chant your
rounds
uninterrupted . . .
 . . . After
beginning your
chanting, you do
not stop
until you finish.”
 Srila Prabhupada
said that this is the
key for increasing
book distribution,
because . . .
. . . this is the
key . . .
….because if you
win that fight,
…. you will win all day.
If you lose ….
 … and let
your mind
carry you to
another thing,
it`s obvious you
will have a
difficult day.”
< End of Svavaasa
Prabhu’s
recollection >
(emphasis added)
It certainly gives us all
something to think
about, doesn’t it?
Book Distribution was
so dear to Srila
Prabhupada . . .
. . . and here he has said
he has ‘only one
recommendation’ . . .
So now we should
ask ourselves . . .
“Do we really want to
increase book
distribution?”
“Do we really want to
please Srila
Prabhupada?”
I think the answer
is obvious . . .

don’t you?
 So let us all resolve
to improve our chanting
from now onwards. . .
 . . . every day . . .
conscientiously . . .
 . . . and pray for a
revolution of renewed
purity and enthusiasm
in japa to manifest
within Iskcon . . .

 Motivation
Let us all try to please Srila
Prabhupada on at least this
one point, even if we cannot
do anything else perfectly for
his pleasure….
 Motivation
This point ties up two
of the most important
aspects of Krishna
Consciousness….
 Motivation
…namely
Book Distribution
&
Japa.
 Motivation
In several places he has said:

- If there is any obstruction to

your spiritual progress, you can
be sure that there is something
wrong with your chanting . . .
 Motivation
- If you do so much service for me
but neglect your chanting, you
are of no use to me, but even if
you don’t do any other service
but only chant nicely, then you
are a great asset to me
Srila Prabhupada ki…………. Jaya!
