Fill all the temples with books. And the devotees will have no place to sleep, then they will have to distribute the books in order to have a place to sleep.

As Srila Prabhupada sat quietly chanting in the back garden this evening, Harikesa Maharaja joined him. He said that many astrologers are predicting that there will be a big war as a result of Rahu and Mars meeting on October 23rd. Harikesa wanted to know if we should immediately begin printing many books just in case the materials become unavailable. Prabhupada smiled and said, "Whether there is a war or not we shall see when the time comes. But I have always said print many books and keep big stocks for future sales. I will give you my bank accounts. You sign the bank accounts and you fill all the temples with books. And the devotees will have no place to sleep, then they will have to distribute the books in order to have a place to sleep. Gopala Krishna is a miser. He is not printing my books. So I want you to fill all the temples with books. Do it. You have my full blessings." Now Harikesa and Hansaduta are working out a program for printing many books in India and they will discuss this with Gopala Krishna prabhu when he arrives.
