Prabhupada Nectar

"I am very glad to note that you are seeing that the devotees are maintaining the devotional practices. This is the secret to success. Therefore I am stressing it. And, if you also stress it and show yourself as an ideal Vaisnava, then you are my representative in fullness. We are not after titles and designations. Lord Caitanya made it a principle that we must teach by personal example. This is what I have tried to do. So if all of you my disciples do this, then the future of our movement will be glorious.

I am glad to note the publishing work you are doing, and I look forward to receiving the books printed. I am pleased that you are personally seeing to the translation how it is done. Actually these books are the foundation stone of our movement. Whatever we are is resting on these books, so far reading them and distributing them. This should be our only motto."

Letter to Hrdayananda -- Bombay 31 October, 1974

For Iskcon100 and further only by studying Srila Prabhupada’s books and living your life accordingly

During our GBC meetings in Mayapur, a consistent theme has arisen about the succession issue. After a study of several religious organizations which succeeded in continuing their missions over the years, it was concluded that only if the intents of the Founder Acarya are understood by the consequent generations of devotees Iskcon will be successful in spreading Lord Chaitanya's movement for many years in the future. This can be accomplished only by a regular study of Srila Prabhupada's books and recordings... Read More
