Book Distribution
Hundreds of years ago, the intelligent class of men used to go house to house giving people knowledge of the Vedas. As this knowledge has come directly from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna, it is the most perfect knowledge.
Perfect knowledge not only frees us from stress, tension, and anxiety but also gives us knowledge about the Supreme Absolute Truth. During Vedic times, people in general lived and abided by this knowledge. Due to the very powerful influence of the present age (Kali Yuga), very few people really work for the benefit of human society. If we want to do welfare for society as a whole, we must connect people to Krishna so that they can live a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous life. They say, "Knowledge is power."
Continuing the tradition, we at ISKCON Koramangala take the responsibility of distributing this knowledge for the benefit of society. We go house to house, to temples and streets, sharing wisdom through books. You may even find us at your doorstep one day, with these precious books in hand.
These books are for all—regardless of caste, creed, religion, or background. What is written in Srila Prabhupada's books is universally applicable to all human beings.
The acharyas—the great empowered thinkers—have worked hard, compiling knowledge from the 108 Upanishads, 18 Puranas, 4 Vedas, and many other scriptures, undergoing severe austerities just to guide human society. Their sacrifice should not go in vain.
It was Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's desire that the science of God reaches the masses. Our acharyas and Srila Prabhupada have carried this mood forward in their books.
The Book Distribution Department at ISKCON Koramangala is dedicated to distributing Vedic literature written or translated by Srila Prabhupada. Access to scripture helps us follow its teachings, engage in devotional service, and attain eternal peace and happiness.
ISKCON’s books present the highest and most sublime philosophy in a way that is easy to understand and apply practically in modern life. These are not ordinary books!
"This movement is genuine, historically authorized, natural and transcendental due to its being based on Bhagavad Gita As It Is."
Every year, hundreds of thousands of copies of the Bhagavad Gita and other Vedic literature are distributed across all sections of society.
These books answer life's most important questions:
- What is the goal of life?
- Who am I?
- What is this world?
- What is my role in this world?
- How can I be truly happy?
- What is my relationship with God?
- How do I surrender to God?
- How can I avoid suffering?
By reading these books, people are rediscovering the path to true happiness and peace.
Many readers say these books have been key in relieving their stress, anxiety, and confusion about life.
