On the morning of June 29th, Srila Narayana Maharaja came to the Temple Hall for a darsana with all the devotees. At that time devotees from the various countries were able to ask questions. Here is one such question and answer:
[Rama-kanta dasa:] What is the best method for your devotees in Holland to preach and to bring one hundred devotees to you at Kartika?
[Srila Narayana Maharaja:] Do as I am doing. Follow me, and all those who are preaching on my behalf. Perform nagara-sankirtana (chanting in the streets, parks, and other public venues), give classes like the classes we are conducting here, go on book distribution, go from door-to-door and tell harikatha. This is the process.
My book-table is here. I am requesting all of you again and again to empty my book-table. Take books and distribute them to your friends and others – and also take my posters. We distributed all the books (and posters) from the book table in Badger. But alas, here the books are remaining on the table. I think that perhaps the devotees here are not qualified to take my books, and that is why they are not taking them all. I want to see that my table is empty. Today, I want to see this. Otherwise, I will think you are not pure devotees. I will think that you are not fulfilling my desires.
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
