Srila Prabhupada said "whatever little success we have had in our Movement is because of our books." In order to appeal to the minds of the people in the coming age, Srila Vyasadeva thought it wise to have what he had to say committed to writing. This, indeed, was his means of conquest.

Sometimes spiritual life is seen as an addition to ordinary life, but if we take it seriously it becomes our life and the ordinary one dissolves itself.
