Today Nov 27th marked the launch of Prabhupada Marathon 2010. The goal for this year is 5000 books. For the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada, at today's Monthly Sankirtan Festival, about 20 devotees distributed 75 books at two locations (Bloor & Spadina and Yonge & Finch) for a total of 211 Laxmi points. The mercy of Lord Caitanya manifested as the shining sun miraculously appeared just before the start of the MSF. Additionally, we received our first Sastra Dana commitment of 100 BGs for hotels in Burlington Area.
As a practice for the Marathon, these daily updates will include an inspirational quote on Sankirtan for your pleasure.
Preaching Caitanya Mahāprabhu's cult throughout the world is more important than staying in Vṛndāvana or Jagannātha Purī for one's own personal satisfaction. Spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission; therefore His sincere devotees must carry out His desire.
pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma
The devotees of Lord Caitanya must preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness in every village and town in the world. That will satisfy the Lord. It is not that one should act whimsically for his own personal satisfaction. This order comes down through the paramparā system, and the spiritual master presents these orders to the disciple so that he can spread the message of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. It is the duty of every disciple to carry out the order of the bona fide spiritual master and spread Lord Caitanya's message all over the world
CC Madhya 16.64
