But why to distribute the Full Set of Prabhupada's books? Why not a lesser amount of books? In our war against Maya, we have to utilize our complete arsenal.

Each one is like a grenade. They are something more likely to remain in a person's home....

Off The Road

Please accept my humbled obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! In continuum… on the grueling 'Warped Tour' schedule it's hard for me to contemplate the significance or insignificance of our activities while frantically driving hundreds of miles between venues.
