2019 Prabhupada Marathon News

Srila Prabhupada requested his disciples, “So kindly help me. This is my request. Print as many books in as many languages and distribute throughout the whole world. Then Krishna consciousness movement will automatically increase.” Would you love to help Srila Prabhupada but do not have the time or are going away this December? Then BOOK SPONSORSHIP is the answer for you. Contact Krishna Baladev 082 551 8047 to custom design a book sponsorship to suit your budget and target audience.
