​Book distributors are doing the most glorious service. Why did Prabhupada encourage book distribution? Because these books contain transcendental wisdom. These books can save our lives. If you do a survey of devotees around the world you will find that 90% of the devotees have joined because they were introduced through the medium of books. I only pointed this out because when we go out on book distribution sometimes devotees think, Oh, nobody wants these books. Who is going to read these books? But don’t worry. People want these books. They will read these books.
