A literature presented to the people, to the public for reading, which are even grammatically incorrect, but because there is glorification of the Lord, it can produce revolution. It can purify the whole human society. My Guru Maharaja, when he was selecting articles to be published in The Harmonist, if he sees simply that there is, several times the writer has written "Krsna," "Lord Caitanya," like that, he passes immediately: "All right. It's all right. (laughter) It is all right." That so many times he has uttered "Krsna" and "Caitanya," so it is all right. (chuckles)

So similarly, even if we present our Back to Godhead or any other literature in broken languages, it does not matter because the glorification of the Lord is there. That is recommended by Narada. Tad-vag-visargo janatagha-viplavah. Janata agha. Agha means sinful activities. If one reads one line of this literature, although it is presented in broken language, but if he simply hears there is Krsna, then his sinful activities immediately vanquish. Janatagha viplavah. Tad-vag-visargo janatagha-viplavo yasmin prati-slokam abaddhavaty api namany anantasya[ SB 1.5.11]. Ananta means the unlimited. His name, His fame, His glory, His qualities are described. Namany anantasya yaso 'nkitani. If glorification is there, even they are presented in broken language, then srnvanti gayanti grnanti sadhavah. Just like my Guru Maharaja, sadhu, a saintly person, immediately passes: "Yes. It is all right." It is all right. Because there is glorification of the Lord. Of course, general public will not understand... But this is the standard, standard version, spoken by Narada. You write something; the aim should be simply to glorify the Supreme. Then your literature is pavitra, purified. And however nicely, either literally or metaphorically or poetically, you write some literature which has nothing to do with God, or Krsna, that is vayasam tirtham. That is pleasure spot for the crows.
