Question: When new people come to our Sunday feast and they keep coming, isn’t it better to make friends with them and be very loving and personal before we start in on preaching? I feel that some people don’t come back when preaching is too heavy.

Jayapataka Swami:  Part of preaching is  to hear what others have to say, what they are thinking, and then accordingly to give them some way so that they can engage their thoughts in Krsna’s service. They tell us for fund raising, rather we should be friend raising!...
