What Are Your Instructions for Us After Reading The Entire Madhya Lila? | Q&A | 2025
from Sound Bhakti · host Vaisesika Dasa
Question: Could please share your reflection and instructions that you want us to take after reading whole Madhya Lila this Kartik? Thank you 🙏 Answer: One is that it's important to take time to read, and it has to be very deliberately done. And It's best done with a group, because we get much more out of it when there's discussion and devotees express their realizations. As Prabhupāda wrote in one of the purports near the end, a sort of an admonition that you've got to do this, otherwise you'll fall down. He basically says—and that can't be emphasized enough—that Prabhupāda's books, and what he wrote, and the sound that comes out when we read them together, is the primal sound of ISKCON. That's what makes ISKCON. It's not the management, it's not the infrastructure, the brick and mortar. It's the sound of Prabhupāda's books and the Holy Name that he gave to us. All those other things are meant to support that. They are meant to facilitate more hearing and chanting from Prabhupāda's books and expressing his mood and mission to others, and spreading the Holy Name as far and wide as possible. And of course, the medium of book distribution is the preferred method. Prabhupāda, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta had the written word to make sure that it goes out in ever increasing quantities.
