The following is a message from Bhakti Vasudev Maharaja before the start of the 2010 Summer Marathon

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to ISKCON Founder Acarya Srila Prabhupada.

On December Books Distribution:
We will please Srila Prabhupada very nicely if we distribute his books to all and sundry. Srila Prabhupada wanted us to be ‘locals friendly’ in our preaching endeavour; so, if we make extra effort in distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books to the locals of South Africa, that would be very pleasing to His Divine Grace.

I came to ISKCON through Srila Prabhupada’s books by getting a book from a sankirtana devotee. The December sankirtana marathon is our chance to reclaim other conditoned souls to the Krishna family. Please, distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books massively.

Your servant,
Bhakti Vasudeva Swami
