Srila Prabhupada put so much time and energy into writing his books for our benefit. So to please Prabhupada we need to get his books and make a regular daily program for reading them.
Prabhupada’s books are amazing and the more we read them the more we can appreciate how wonderful they actually are and the more we read the more we benefit in so many ways both spiritually and materially.
We need to own and read Srila Prabhupada’s life work, his thirty volume translation and commentary on Srimad-Bhagavatam and his seventeen volume Sri Caitanya-caritamrta. Every devotee needs to get these books and make a program to read them regularly.
Right now we have Srila Prabhupdada’s original sets of books available in stock but there is a limited supply. When the current stock is finished there is no plan for reprinting. So it is very important — if you want Srila Prabhupada’s original books — GET THEM NOW. Now we have them in stock, but the future is unknown.

Srila Prabhupada put so much time and energy into translating and publishing his books, and he did it for us. So the least we can do to please him is GET HIS BOOKS AND READ THEM.
These are Prabhupada’s original first-edition books, the books he personallly worked on, checked and got printed and the books he read daily and gave all his classes from.
These are the books Prabhupada ordered must not be changed. An order that has been ignored by BBT who have made thousands of unauthorized changes in the books they print and distribute today.
Inspired by BBT’s unlimited changes there are many groups of “devotees” demanding their own changes to Prabhupada’s books. The womens liberation people want their changes, the gay people want their changes, the women devotees who want to be gurus and sannyasis are demanding their changes and every sectarian group, they all have some issue with Prabhupada’s books and want it changed in the next printing. And BBT are considering these changes. They are open to changing the books they print even more. They have no intention of ever stopping the changes to Prabhupada’s books.
But these devotees who are demandinging changes to Prabhupada’s books and the BBT who are changing the books have failed to understand that Krishna consciousnes is absolute. It can not be changed. And these are Prabhupada’s books and he ordered “NO CHANGES…” Prabhupada’s books are already perfect. There is no need to change them. Ever.
As the years go on BBT will continue to change more and more so the books they print will move further and further away from the books Prabhupada personally printed, read, gave his classes from and completey authorized. Ultimately the books BBT print will bear very little resemblence to the books Prabhupada originally printed. So more and more it will be essential for devotees to own physical copies of Prabhupada’s original books, which may no longer be available for purchasing soon…
It is essential, now and even more in the future, for anyone who wants to know what the original teachings of Srila Prabhupada actually are, to have his original books.
You can get Prabhupada’s original books now, we have them in stock. SO PLEASE GET THEM NOW, because we don’t know how long they will be available. Once the current stock is gone there is no guarantee they will be reprinted.

Madhya 8.70 T Talks Between Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya
krsna-bhakti-rasa-bhavita matih
kriyatam yadi kuto ‘pi labhyate
tatra laulyam api mulyam ekalam
janma-koti-sukrtair na labhyate
SYNONYMS
krsna-bhakti-rasa-bhavita–absorbed in the mellows of executing devotional service to Krsna; matih–intelligence; kriyatam–let it be purchased; yadi–if; kutah api–somewhere; labhyate–is available; tatra–there; laulyam–greed; api–indeed; mulyam–price; ekalam–only; janma-koti–of millions of births; sukrtaih–by pious activities; na–not; labhyate–is obtained.
TRANSLATION
” ‘Pure devotional service in Krsna consciousness cannot be had even by pious activity in hundreds and thousands of lives. IT CAN BE ATTAINED ONLY BY PAYING ONE PRICE–THAT IS, INTENSE GREED TO OBTAIN IT. IF IT IS AVAILABLE SOMEWHERE, ONE MUST PURCHASE IT WITHOUT DELAY.’ ”
PURPORT
The previous two verses are included in the Padyavali (13, 14), an anthology compiled by Srila Rupa Gosvami. Verse 69 refers to devotional service in faith, and verse 70 refers to devotional service rendered out of intense greed. The first is devotional service rendered in accordance with the regulative principles, and the second refers to spontaneous loving service of the Lord without extraneous endeavor. Henceforward the basic principle underlying the talks between Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya will be spontaneous loving service to the Lord. The regulative principles according to the injunctions of the sastras are necessary insofar as one’s original dormant Krsna consciousness is not spontaneously awakened. An example of spontaneous action is the flowing of rivers into the ocean. Nothing can stop this flow of water. Similarly, when one’s dormant Krsna consciousness is awakened, it spontaneously flows to the lotus feet of Krsna without impediment. Whatever will be spoken henceforth by Ramananda Raya based on spontaneous love will be agreeable to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and the Lord will ask him more and more about this subject.

In another poetry Rupa Gosvami says, krsna-bhakti-rasa-bhavita matih kriyatam yadi kuto ‘pi labhyate. THE, OUR THIS KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS, I HAVE TAKEN THIS FROM THIS WORD KRSNA-BHAKTI-RASA-BHAVITA MATIH. THIS IS ACTUAL TRANSLATION IN SANSKRIT OR… KRSNA-BHAKTI-RASA-BHAVITA MATIH. SO RUPA GOSVAMI ADVISES THAT “KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS, IF IT IS POSSIBLE, PLEASE PURCHASE. DON’T DELAY.” KRSNA-BHAKTI-RASA-BHAVITA MATIH KRIYATAM. “PURCHASE IMMEDIATELY!” KRSNA-BHAKTI-RASA-BHAVITA MATIH KRIYATAM YADI KUTO ‘PI. “WHERE IT IS AVAILABLE? IT IS VERY NICE THING.” “YES, IT IS AVAILABLE. YOU CAN PURCHASE. THE MOVEMENT IS GOING ON.” “AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?” “PRICE?” “IT IS SUCH A NICE THING; YOU HAVE TO PAY PRICE.” “YES, THERE IS PRICE.” “WHAT IS THAT?” TATRA LAULYAM EKALAM MULYAM: “SIMPLY YOUR EAGERNESS. THAT IS PRICE. THIS PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY.” THEN YOU GET KRSNA. IMMEDIATELY. Krsna is not poor. And the Krsna-seller, the Krsna devotee, he is also not poor. He can distribute Krsna free. And he’s doing that. Simply you have to purchase by your eagerness. That is wanted. Tatra laulyam. “Oh, eagerness? I HAVE GOT EAGERNESS.” “OH, IT IS NOT SO EASY.” TATRA LAULYAM EKALAM MULYAM JANMA-KOTI-SUKRTAIR NA LABHYATE: “THIS EAGERNESS CANNOT BE ACHIEVED EVEN BY PIOUS ACTIVITIES FOR MILLIONS OF BIRTHS.” IF YOU SIMPLY GO ON DOING PIOUS ACTIVITIES… BECAUSE WITHOUT BEING PIOUS, YOU CANNOT APPROACH KRSNA. SO IF YOU GO ON DOING SIMPLY PIOUS, JANMA-KOTI-SUKRTAIH… SUKRTI MEANS PIOUS ACTIVITIES, SIMPLY PIOUS. STILL, THIS EAGERNESS IS NOT AWAKENED.
So this eagerness is very important thing. But it can be awakened by the association of devotees. Therefore we are giving chance to everyone to invoke that eagerness. Then you will see God eye to eye. It is not difficult. Tac chraddadhana munayah. Those who have developed that eagerness, faith, that “I must see Krsna in this life…” This life is meant for seeing Krsna. It is not meant for becoming dogs and hogs. Unfortunately, the whole civilization is going on, they are being trained to become dogs and hogs. It is the only institution that is teaching people how to see Krsna. This is the only institution, this Krsna consciousness movement. It is so important. TAC CHRADDADHANA MUNAYO JNANA-VAIRAGYA-YUKTAYA. BY EAGERNESS, AUTOMATICALLY YOU WILL BE ENRICHED WITH KNOWLEDGE AND DETACHMENT. Knowledge does not mean, “Now we have discovered this atomic bomb.” That is not knowledge. What knowledge this is? People are dying. You have discovered something which will accelerate death. But we are giving some knowledge to stop death. That is Krsna consciousness. THIS IS KNOWLEDGE. JNANA-VAIRAGYA-YUKTAYA. AND AS SOON AS YOU GET THIS KNOWLEDGE, AUTOMATICALLY YOU BECOME DETACHED TO ALL THIS NONSENSE MATERIAL HAPPINESS.
Hare Krsna. Thank you very much. Hare Krsna. (devotees offer obeisances) Chant Hare Krsna. (end)
