But it is always better if there are also some devotees chanting loudly on the street. If there is even one man to two men or a small party who are chanting Hare Krishna, that will increase also the book sales. So if there are sufficient men, and if we have got sanction by the authorities, it is always better to have at least a small party chanting along with as many distributers of books as possible.

Real Guru Today
Hare Krishna,
How does one have sadhu sanga and associate with pure devotees like Srila Prabhupada in today’s times? Are the books the only means available today for someone aspiring and desiring pure association and bhakti? Who is living, available and qualified, without a doubt , to teach and instruct?
There are so many so called gurus supposedly in the line of proper succession. How do you tell the difference amongst them all? Is everyone just on their own when it comes to sadhana these days? It is discouraging, disappointing and confusing to me.
Thank you very much
