âYes, as a Sannyasi and GBC your first duty is to read my books. Otherwise how will you preach? In order to remain steadily fixed in Krishna consciousness there must be a sound philosophical understanding. Otherwise it will become only sentiment. Whenever you find time please read my booksâ
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Satsvarupa — Nellore, 5 January 1976
Vaidyanath Prabhu ki jaya. I was on travelling sankirtan with Prabhu in Sweden in 1978. He was always reading when he was not on the street distributing books. He was always connected with Prabhupada's books, either reading or distributing.
