Literature Distribution More Than Doubles In One Year
Literature Distribution More Than Doubles In One Year
The members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness made 1974 an outstanding year for the distribution of transcendental literature. Following the request of their spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, to "distribute my books profusely," in 1974 the devotees distributed more than 6-1/2 million pieces of literature-from small pamphlets to 1,000-page BHAGAVAD-GĪTAS. More people than ever before-some 400,000 of them-took large, 400-page Krsna conscious books. In only one year's time the annual distribution of BACK TO GODHEAD magazine (described by Srila Prabhupada as "the backbone of the Krsna consciousness movement") almost doubled to four million copies. And in 1975-in February alone-circulation climbed to 900,000 copies. Has the distribution of Krsna conscious books reached its peak? "This is only the beginning," said Ramesvara dasa, the devotee in charge of the Society's central book warehouse in Los Angeles. "Krsna is unlimited. There's no end .in sight."
