What is the Prabhupada Book Marathon?

The Book Marathon is an annual event, in which everyone is encouraged to distribute the spiritual knowledge of Srila Prabhupada’s books. Running for a month in the Winter, the event started with humble beginnings in 1972 upon noticing that shops stayed open later during the festive season, making the streets of towns and cities bustling places to engage with people and share the secrets of Vedic wisdom.

Why should I give out books?

It is considered to be the real welfare work to share knowledge of the true human spirit with others – by sharing these books filled with timeless wisdom, it gives others an opportunity to realise and hear about Sri Krishna, the Personality of Godhead. They say sharing is caring, and in this mood, it is of great benefit to the recipient and the giver for the books of Srila Prabhupada to be shared far and wide.
