While distributing books, you should think, “I am doing this to please my Gurudeva and Krsna, all should know what is written in Jaiva Dharma.” You may tell people, “Jaiva Dharma includes everything from top to bottom about how to develop your bhakti from the beginning.

If you want to read only one book, then you will have to read Jaiva Dharma by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. From the conclusions of Bhagavad Gita starting with Saranagati, and continuing to maha-bhava, everything has been explained in this book. So you must read and follow Jaiva Dharma.” Know that book distribution is essential. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did this Himself, and we must follow His example. But always be careful. It should not be sanga-siddha or aropa-siddha bhakti.

If you want to know all these things, you can read Sri Bhajana-rahasya and Sri Jaiva Dharma. Jaiva Dharma is very important. We should try to distribute Jaiva Dharma to all devotees – devotees and non-devotees. By reading this book anyone can become a pure devotee. I think that this is the most important. Jaiva Dharma is needed before Sri Bhajana-rahasya. I want that all should collect that Jaiva Dharma and distribute it everywhere.
