it is not necessary to give up household life to preach.

As the book distribution fever heats up everyone wants to be part of the new wave. Danavir Prabhu writes Srila Prabhupada asking if he can give up married life and go out traveling. Prabhupada replies that it is not necessary to give up household life to preach. He quotes the verse of Bhaktivinoda Thakura, grihe thako, vane thako, sada 'hari' bole' dako, that it make no difference if one is a grihastha at home or a sannyasi in the forest, simply continue chanting the Holy Name, and spread the sankirtan movement to every town and village.
