He also told that although different ways have been used to distribute the books at different places, dedication to serve Srila Prabhupada has been the unifying factor. He glorified Srila Prabhupada for His hard work to write the books under guidance of His Guru Maharaj Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur and awarding us the fortune to associate with so many devotees.
