At the end of Srila Narayana Gosvami Maharaja’s Kartika class of October 11, 2003, he made the following announcement:
“Our bookstall is there in the back. I also request you to take the new books. [Srila Maharaja then held up the just-published Harmonist magazine and continued:] Many new books are there, as well as this, the best magazine in the entire world. It is better than the Back to Godhead Magazine published nowadays. It is like those magazines published during the time of Parama-pujypada Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja – not as they are now. You should each take one copy for yourselves, and ten copies for your friends.
“There are so many wealthy persons, and I request them to come forward to help with our projects and in publishing books. I know they don't want name and fame, so they may come to me alone. They may come secretly – no harm.”
All Glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga!
Swami B.V. Narayan

My dear Vishwambhara and my dear Radhakanta,
my heartly blessings are for you. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga, all glories to Sri Sri Radha Vinode Bihariji.
I received your letter with the report about book distribution and became extremely pleased to know that so many books have been sold all over the world. I am showering my heartly blessings upon all the devotees who are assisting with publishing, distributing, purchasing and shipping our books.
By the efforts and offerings of all these devotees I become greatly inspired to publish more transcendental jewels.
Just now I about to finish dictating Madhurya Kadambini in Hindi. I will be very happy if very soon all the books which are published in Hindi will be translated in English. Any new books and also the old titles which are out of stock, please arrange that these be printed and made available.
Please inform all the devotees to give a report how many books they distribute. I want to give a special reward to the 3 best distributors.
All glories to the Brhat Mrdanga.
Your ever well-wisher,
Swami B.V. Narayan
