A plea from the sankirtan devotees in Moscow
I hope all of you are well in these unusual times. These are difficult times for many people. However, the sankirtan devotees are as fired up as ever, and thus many temples are increasing book distribution. A temple in Russia just outside of Moscow is very focused on distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books. The problem is that they have four useless vehicles, which are dangerous to drive.
