Room Conversation with Tripurāri and Saṅkīrtana Devotees — March 2, 1975, Atlanta 750302R1-ATLANTA [63:22 Minutes] Conv_750302R1-ATLANTA Prabhupāda: You are well now for distributing books? [break] Tripurāri: ...these are prabhus from different temples. Some work under the direction of the temple presidents and some work under my direction. But all these devotees distribute at the airports.

Prabhupāda: So you are all feeling all right? Eh? Is there any difficulty? Tripurāri: [to devotees] Feel satisfaction?

Devotee: No, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Increasingly blissful.

Prabhupāda: That's fine. That is wanted. You are expert mṛdaṅga player? I have seen.

He is very, very nice. Tripurāri: Sometimes when we go to the temples they ask us to give class, saṅkīrtana class on book distribution techniques. We tell them that before you can take any techniques, first you must follow the principles and study the books.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is real technique. Our only technique is to be very devout followers of the rules and regulation. Tripurāri: Sometimes the devotees, in their preaching, they will defeat someone.

Prabhupāda: Hmm? Tripurāri: Sometimes we defeat someone by our preaching, and we show them they should take the book, but still they don't take. But if we call them a fool and point out to them how they are foolish, they become offended. So rather that we just very humbly say... Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.
