Long Lost Devotee Gets Sets of Books
An older man was watching my attempts to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. He approached me and asked whether I had any new books. He introduced himself as Vedanta Dasa.

Thoughts on upcoming Book Distribution marathon by Bhakti Vikas Swami
Is distributing Srila Prabhupada's books just a leftover from the past? Is it relevant in ISKCON today? For the answer look to Srila Prabhupada's words and look all around.
