Warm Sales and Congregational Book Distribution
Lately, a nice trend is growing with respect to distribution of the full set. We have the Bhakti vriksa programs, which involve weekly meetings in the house or apartment, where 7-11 individuals come together for spiritual discussion, kirtan and prasadam.
