So we are trying our bit, almost single-handed, although the important literatures are there, Vedic literatures, four Vedas, Vedanta suttra, eighteen Puranas, hundred and eight Upanisads, then Ramayana, Mahabharata, so many, full of knowledge, transcendental knowledge. They can be distributed all over the world. But there was no organized attempt. We are just begun from 1966, this movement, Hare Krishna movement, or Krishna consciousness movement, distributing this literature. Through literature, of course, we are very hopeful. Our literatures are selling.

Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Yesterday it was the last day of the 5050 Campaign. It was the longest 50th Event, lasting 366 days and potentially involving every member of ISKCON on a personal and collective level.
Its aim was simply to provide the opportunity for every devotee to make an offering to Srila Prabhupada in ISKCONs 50th year, of distributing 50 BBT books.
On behalf of the 5050 Campaign Committee, I would like to thank all those devotees who took part in the Campaign and hope they remain inspired to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books always.
If you have any news or stories from the Campaign in your area, please share with us via PAMHO, the 5050 website or the facebook page (details below).
It is hoped that in the future a way can be found to inspire every devotee to distribute one book per week. This way our international distribution would be approx. 50 million books per year. At present it is approx. 7 million world wide.
Finally, I would like to thank Visvambhara Prabhu for encouraging me to put forward the 5050 idea at it inception, and also for chairing the 5050 Campaign Committee. I would also like to thank the support of the other committee members, and our UK GBC Praghosa Prabhu for his enthusiastic encouragement. Thanks are also due to Brahma Muhurta Prabhu (NE-BBT Trustee) who set uo the web domain for the website, and Parama Karuna Prabhu for designing and maintaining the website and facebook pages.
All glories to Sri Krishna’s Sankirtan Movement! All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!
Your servant,
Titiksu dasa
