Question: We hear from senior devotees that everyday you read Srila Prabhupada’s books at least 15 minutes without fail. What motivates you to do that everyday in spite of difficulties with your health, etc.?

Guru Maharaj: When I took the first initiation, then I read the Bhagavad-gita ten times. That was the requirement. I say that to take first initiation, you have to read the Bhagavad-gita twice. And one time read the First Canto, Srimad Bhagavatam. Other books also. So, I am trying to encourage the devotees to read Srila Prabhupada’s books. I don’t see what the problem is to read Srila Prabhupada’s books? It is an issue of time management. Make your schedule in such a way that you can spend a little time, one hour or so, to read Srila Prabhupada’s books.
