What is so special about Bhadra Purnima?
“If on the full moon day of the month of Bhadra one places Srimad Bhagavatam [SB] on a golden throne and gives it as a gift, he will attain the supreme transcendental destination.” SB 12.13.13
Three possible ways you can “attain the supreme transcendental destination.”

Donate a set to an institution – such as a library, university or workplace. You can donate to the school you attended or the library in your area – in that way give back to your own community.
Club together 5-6 family & friends and together sponsor a set.
Payment options – we’ve come up with affordable ways to sponsor a set.
