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.

Review on Bhagavad Gita AS IT IS from amazon.com
It is easy to see why Swami Bhaktivedanta's commentary on the Gita is so popular in India – that is because it is TOTALLY AUTHENTIC and very much in tune with the commentaries of all the main preceptors of Vedic traditions like Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Nimbarkacarya, and Visnu Swami. His translation of the Gita is actually accepted by other Vedic disciplic successions such as the Sri, Madhva, Vallabha and Nimbarka...

This time we took with us a full box of Srila Prabhupada's books for distribution. We...

Even a Butcher Can Take Part
Recently, I tried to distribute Prabhupada's books in the villages in Slovakia. Last week I went door to door and entered a butcher's shop. A woman saw me in Vaishnava clothes, with books in my hand, and she immediately said, "I do not want any books. Some salesman was here last week." I told her that I am not a salesman, but a monk.
