1. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura wants books to be published

    My Guru Maharaja gave me hint that book publication is more pleasing to me than Matha-mandira (temples). So I took it and I began to publish books and that has come successful. Karyam karma. I took it, “Oh, Guru Maharaja wants that books should be published. So let me concentrate on this instead of…” My creating so many centers, big, big temples, that is not my primary duty. My primary duty is to write books. Therefore I am going on still. These are coming automatically. Maybe this is the secret of my success.
