Just read this one book

Srutakirti das: It happened on three different occasions. I went in and
Prabhupada was reading Krsna Book and he said, “If you just read this one
book, you can be Krishna conscious.” He said, “You don’t have to read
hundreds of books. Just this one book.” He had his glasses on, and I was
sitting in front of him. Then he just looked at me and he said, “You don’t
even have to read the whole book, just one chapter. If you just read one
chapter of this book, you can be Krishna conscious,” and I’m nodding my
head, “Yes, Prabhupada.” But he just kept staring. And then he said, “You
don’t even have to read the whole chapter, just one page,” and he just ran
his finger down the page. Then he’s looking and he said, “You don’t even
have to read the whole page, just one line,” and he ran his finger across
the line of the Krsna Book. And I said, “Yes, Prabhupada.” And he’s still
looking and he said, “You don’t even have to read a whole line, just one
word,” and he pointed to a word in the book. He said, “Just one word of this
book if you read you can become Krishna conscious because Krishna is in
every word.” And then he put his head back down into the book, and I offered
obeisances and I left. But he said that about three different books to me
over a year. “If you just read this one book.” Once it was Nectar of
Devotion, once it was Bhagavad-gita, once it was Krsna Book. But he said,
“Any one of these, if you just read this one book, you can be Krishna
conscious.” He can understand Krishna is in every word, and this is what
Prabhupada gave us. Nobody else has given us this, this direct connection to
Krishna through His pure devotee.

    Thanks for posting this blog!
    It is needed has many blog on this network are not from Srila Prabhupada's book or related to it.
    Just see, "Just one word of this book if you read you can become Krishna conscious because Krishna is in
    every word.”
    Then what is the need of reading anything else than Srila Prabhupada.
    Let us be Prabhupadanuga. One may say, we are fanatic, doesn't matter. Only Srila Prabhupada can save us.
    Hare Krishna.
    Thanks.
