Quote of the Day
In the spiritual moonlight ocean of perfect love and bliss is a wonderful island. In that island is the forest of Vrndavana. In that forest of Vrndavana is a wonderful fair and dark young couple. (Prabodhananda Sarasvati, Vrndavana mahimamrta, Sataka 2 text 31)

Distribution of Srila Prabhupada's books

The Vedic treasure-house

The books written by Srila Prabhupada give the essence of the entire Vedic knowledge in an easy to understand and practical form. These books are highly respected by the academic community for their authority, depth and serve as standard textbooks in numerous college courses. They have been translated into over sixty languages.

The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust

The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT), established in 1972 to publish Srila Prabhupada's books, is the world's largest publisher in the field of Indian religion and philosophy. It has its main centers in Los Angeles, Stockholm, Sydney, London and Mumbai.

ISKCON Vrindavan has about 500 books available on the philosophy of Krishna consciousness and Vedic culture. These books are available from the book stall at the front of the temple.

Distribution of the treasure - Sankirtan Department

The Sankirtan Department at ISKCON Vrindavan has five buses that go all over India to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books.

Devotees go out in severe cold, intense heat and monsoon, just to give out the treasure-house of Vedic knowledge to the suffering souls.

Millions of people have been given a progressive spiritual direction in life by reading Srila Prabhupada's books.

Gita Jayanti Mahayajna - the entire month of December is dedicated to distributing Bhagavad-gita As It Is throughout India. Thousands of Bhagavad-gitas are sponsored by donors for free or concessional distribution to students, libraries, prisons, etc.
