Srila Prabhupada's Book Distribution Marathon podcast

All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. I was asked to say a few words about the importance of Śrīla Prabhupāda's marathon and the distribution of Śrīla Prabhupāda's books. Actually, it's not possible to describe the utmost importance of this process because the whole civilization, according to the words of Śrīla Prabhupāda himself, is misguided. And this misguided civilization is in a very difficult situation now. The condition of the world is much worse today than they were when Śrīla Prabhupāda was on the earth. Even then they were alarmingly bad, but now it's worse many, many times more. and we know that practically for the first time in the history of humanity we are on the brink of nuclear war and even if nuclear war will not happen and anyway the whole humanity the whole human civilization is on the path of self-destruction everything is being destroyed now starting with the subtle human nature, the moral principles, the social fabric of the society, the family structure, economy is totally in shambles, there is social unrest and the whole environment is practically destroyed. So, Srila Prabhupada coined the phrase spiritual solution to material problems and his books provide this key to the humanity, to misguided humanity. And the more vigorously we preach the message of Krishna consciousness described by Srila Prabhupada, the better chances people have to understand how to solve the immense problems which they are facing now. So I'm eternally grateful to all of you for distributing this message in difficult conditions. It's always very difficult to preach in the atheistic environment, and the environment in the earth is always predominantly atheistic, no matter how people call themselves, to which religious denomination they formally attribute themselves. But in any case, I'm just very grateful to you and definitely Srila Prabhupada is very grateful. And by distributing his books, we're becoming the part of the worldwide scheme, the plan of Lord Chaitanya, which he had in mind when 500 years ago, he was conducting his lilas in this earth. So by distributing the books of Śrīla Prabhupāda, we're becoming a part of the eternal lila of Lord Caitanya. And then in a very natural and spontaneous way, we will be transferred into the realm where his lilas and lilas of Lord Krishna are being held eternally. So thank you very much again and I wish you all success and a lot of enthusiasm and joy in being engaged in this very glorious service. And let the goals which you set for yourself be achieved. Hare Krishna. All All glorious to Silla Prabhupada.
