Distribution of Vedic Knowledge

Srila Prabhupada was never satisfied merely to write books, nor to print them and keep the copies in stock. Rather, he earnestly desired that books of Vedic wisdom be profusely distributed for the enlightenment of human society. Thus in 1972 His Divine Grace established the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, which in six years has become the world's largest publisher and distributor of books concerning the philosophy, religion, and culture of India. It was his desire that BBT books be placed everywhere, every library and home.

Indeed, nearly every college and university library in the United States has at least one of Srila Prabhupada's books, and more than twenty-five hundred college professors and public and university libraries have placed orders for full sets. Inspired by Srila Prabhupada, his disciples have distributed more than sixty million books of Vedic knowledge. Thus, by Srila Prabhupada's desire, the true glory of Vedic knowledge and culture is now being recognized, for the first time, throughout the world.

Here we may also mention that Srila Prabhupada was the founder and original editor of BACK TO GODHEAD, which he began in India in 1944 and which continues to be published according to his eternal directions.
