>Subject: Re: Why BOOKS ? - IMPORTANT
>
>Dear Kalale and other BhaghavatOttams:
>
>The spirited writing of Krishna are always inspiring. His appeal concerns
>prioritization of our resources. Preserving the works of our great
>achAryas
>is fundamental to our faith.
>
>On the issue of publishing or printing more books, my personal opinion is:
>There are probably lots of books but we have lack of readers. We can
>probably circumvent this problem by starting small study-groups (like the
>Gita session of Shri Kalale). Create
>interest in these subjects and people will automatically come forward to
>encourage these programs.
>
>On the issue of abharanams, I respect the views of Shri Sadagopan. My
>mother and other family members feel that way. However, personally I
>think, provision of clean water facility, a nice bathing ghat in the pond
>(kulam), fans & lights inside the sannidhys, elimination of cockroaches
>inside the sannidhy etc., a ayurvedic dispensary in our divya desams to
>help
>the poor, require greater priority. Cleaniness is next to Godliness is
>probably not very much appreciated in our system (probably due to the
>weather?).
