"I request all the Vaisnavas to diligently read and even study Prabhupada Lilamrta. In November 1974, Srila Prabhupada said, "If you do not understand somebody, how can you love him. Love is far away".
So, if we want to develop our love for Srila Prabhupada we have to know him, understand him and hear about him. And this is done by diligently reading the books on Srila Prabhupada's life, namely Prabhupada Lilamrta and others. The Prabhupada Lilamrta is without a doubt the most important and concise rendering of Prabhupada's preparation, activities, and life." Partha Sarathi Das Goswami
