The Passing Away of Madhumangala Prabhu
Hare Krsna, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! As you all know, this book distribution site is an all-good-news site. Well, now, I have some sad news and good news.

On just a little common ground, a book is sold
In Toronto in late May, the Bhakti Bombers hit the March Against Monsanto. Our youngest, sweetest devotee, Bhaktin Zoe, 18, led us in book distribution. She distributed over fifty books herself.

The father appreciated it that devotee children were presenting the Gita to him. To encourage the kids, he took the Gita and gave a generous donation.

A boss connects with the real Boss
After I recently commenced a new job, my boss showed me his book collection, and one of his books was the BBT’s Veda. He couldn’t recall how or when he got hold of the book. I then showed him our Manor promotional video, which he in turn sent to the chairman of our company (the former vice president of Samsung), who then asked to visit the Manor. We arranged a visit during office hours on a Monday, and we spent three hours...
