The purpose of this DVD is to help devotees everywhere in their quest to learn and/or perfect the art of book distribution. And for those who cannot directly distribute books, but who like to assist others, it is meant as an inspiration.
Besides asking that his books be widely and profusely distributed, Srila Prabhupada often encouraged his followers to become expert in presenting his books. In the following except from a letter Srila Prabhupada wrote to Bali Mardan in 12/31/72 he describes book distribution as a "great art":
"I am convinced that if you simply glorify Krsna and our books in the best descriptive manner, that anyone and everyone, no matter even atheist or otherwise, they can be convinced to purchase. Of course that is a great art and not everyone can do it, but gradually by practice of preaching in this way, striving to so much present a wonderful picture of our books to the people, gradually you will master the trick how to do it."
In the society of Vaisnavas today, many are already regularly engaged in distributing books and a growing number of devotees are eager to get involved. Whether you are already an expert in this art, are a newcomer trying to figure out how to begin, or are a well-wisher wanting to assist others in distributing books, this DVD is for you.
If you are a veteran you will find inspiration to enhance your current skills and to continue your lifelong quest for perfection. If you are a beginner, you will find information to help guide your first steps in this great endeavor to share the wealth of the revealed word of God in written form. And if you are a well-wisher and want to use your resources to promote and assist book distribution, you’ll be even more inspired to do so after exploring this DVD.
Distributing books is not a difficult task. Everyone and anyone can do it. (Please join us!) Prabhupada wrote to a disciple in 1972: "Never mind it takes little while to make progress, our process in slow but sure, and we are confident that if we continue in this way we shall go one day back to home, back to Godhead."
