Marathon Message from His Holiness Partha Sarathi Das Goswami
Distributing Srila Prabhupada's books is extremely important. I recommend all devotees to participate in this most important event. Book distribution is very pleasing to Srila Prabhupada. We can derive a special type of nectar or bliss by sacrificing our false egos when approaching strangers to take Prabhupada's books. Even if we don't distribute many books, just the attempt to do it is purifying. I encourage all devotees to please Srila Prabhupada in this way. Many of Srila Prabhupada's senior disciples like His Holiness Bhakti Caitanya Maharaja, His Holiness Bhakti Charu Maharaja, His Holiness Indradyumna Maharaja, His Holiness BB Govinda Maharaja, His Holiness Giriraj Maharaja, His Holiness Bhaktimarga Swami, and His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami engaged in book distribution. We should follow in their footsteps and try our best to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books and in this way, experience what they experienced. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Srila Prabhupada's books.
I remain,
Your well-wisher,
Partha Sarathi Das Goswami
