Dear Nara-Narayana Prabhu,

Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Great to hear from you. Hope you and your family are well.

My feeling, and my suggestions to Hansadutta Prabhu also from the very beginning, was not to spend huge amounts of money in the courts but instead to spend the money on printing Prabhupada's original books. If you fight in the courts it should be to fight to justify printing the books that you have printed. But the BBT will not take you to court for this because they can not win.

Point is you have already won. So print and distribute Prabhupada's original books!

Right now there is a great need, for example, to print the original Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, original TLC, Original NOD, Original Sri Isopanasad, Original PQPA, etc, etc,. As far as the Cc. BBT have four different editions in print [big western print, big Indian print, compact edtion, single volume edition] and all are the changed edition. There is a big market for the original edition. You can sell probably at least five hundred sets or more as soon as it is printed.

I think Gadadhara Prabhu has a plan to print the original single volume Cc. Maybe you can work with him and do this project?

The business of the BBT is to print Prabhupada's original books. You will never be successful in your endeavors unless you print books.

If you are convinced you are the BBT, then act as the BBT and print books [and work out how to distribute them of course].

I have seen Veda Guhya's book printing and from that I am convinced that if you make the effort to print the books then somehow, by Krishna's arrangement, they will be distributed. Last year he printed so many books. Probably almost 100 pallets of books, and so many have been distribtuted. First printing of 20,000 compact Bhagavad-gita As It Is sold out, first printing of 10,000 SSR sold out, first printing of 50,000 BBD sold out, first printing of 100,000 "On Chanting Hare Krishna" sold out. And he has already reprinted all these books and they are back in stock ready for this year.

Please do not take any offence, I mean none. All glories to your service! I truly believe the key is to print and distribute books. Unless you can do this Krishna will not give you the BBT. And no one will be able to stop you from printing and distributing Prabhupada's books because that is what Srila Prabhupada wants, that is what Krishna wants.

Your servant,
Madhudvisa dasa
