Adisekar das: He had the sankirtan leaders of that time from Bhagavan’s
zone a little meeting with us. First he congratulated the devotees for the
results. And he asked the first question, I think the only question he asked
us, and he said, “Are you reading my books?” Then Brighupati said, “You
know, Prabhupada, we don’t have much time, we don’t have time to read.” Then
I heard, I was near, Prabhupada said, “What is the use?” I could see he was
deeply hurt. It was a major priority. Our life was to be used to investigate
this message, these books, these thousands of hours of work. So, of course,
we were distributing, but then Prabhupada was more interested whether we
were reading his books.
