BBT Media

Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

For the past couple of years, the North European BBT has been busy converting its library into quality ebooks in all current formats. Near the end of 2011 we announced that devotees could download Prabhupada's books for free from our website, bbtmedia.com

A whopping 150,000 downloads later, we feel this program was a success!

Now that we have Srila Prabhupada's English language books converted, we're working diligently on all the languages the North European BBT publishes. And we're beginning to upload other material to the site – audio books (the first volume of the Brhad-Bhagavatamrta is up, narrated by Kesava Bharati Maharaja along with a number of recordings of Srila Prabhupada's books), podcasts, and BBT art images.

To make sure all visitors to the site have a streamlined experience, we have decided to close the complimentary ebook section at the end of July.

If you did not manage to get Srila Prabhupada's books in ebook format from us for free, write to complimentary@pamho.net to request them.

your servant,
Kaisori Dasi
on behalf of the North European BBT
