manner, if devotees of the Kåñëa consciousness movement, due to
          fear of rejection or fear of hurting the common people, hesitate
          to honestly speak the sublime truths that Çréla Prabhupäda has
          presented in his books, then we will be lumped in with those
          movements that present compromised truth. On the other hand
          the goal of strong speaking is not to drive away people. As the
          sayings go, “winning the battle and losing the war” and “operation
          successful, patient dead.” The goal of strong speaking is the same
          as the goal of preaching to the heart. I find this book a great
          treasure, especially in this era of new age movements popping
          up which dilute the spiritual philosophy and drag it down to the
          mundane plane.

          Thank you for your service to Çréla Prabhupäda in the writing of
          On Speaking Strongly in Çréla Prabhupäda’s Service. Prior to reading
          the book, I had always wondered if I was too “conservative” in my
          view of Kåñëa consciousness. Many people had told me to “lighten
          up” even if I was directly quoting one of Çréla Prabhupäda’s letters
          or conversations. This book has helped me better understand his
          mood and how I can more effectively follow.
