<div>Greetings.......,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This website has been prepared to raise funds needed for reprinting the ORIGINAL edition of the Bhagavad Gita AS IT IS written by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada. Over time a variety of later editions were somehow published that totally fail to maintain the original wording, layout, and artwork as approved by Srila Prabhupada. Our mission is to correct this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The amount we are seeking initially enables printing a single order of 5,000 full-size hardbound Bhagavad Gitas on quality stock, including the original full color illustrations. Depending on the distribution and (worldwide) demand, we will reprint this order on an ongoing basis. The printing cost is projected to be $25,000. I suggest that we raise $30,000. The monies over and above the actual press run will be allocated for web hosting costs and for any related expenses (travel, delivery of files, computer matters, etc.) associated with handling the order
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Vasanta dasa, ACBSP. I served early on as a photographer with Yadubara, Bhargava, Madhusudana, and others at the NY Press in Brooklyn (1974-75). At that time the Press was jamming at all hours with the layout and printing of Back to Godhead and Srimad Bhagavatam.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am currently the founder and executive trustee for Lotus Ministry Trust, a faith-based non-profit charity in San Francisco, established in 2021. Our efforts are focused on food relief and related humanitarian services. In the past 5 years we have fed over 100,000 people overseas in Bangladesh and we have opened a dozen small schools with several hundred students focused on Bhagavad Gita classes in their local language.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am sharing this since I have, at my discretion, a non-profit trust bank account able to receive funding from anyone with zero tax liability. When funds land here via GoFundMe, I will arrange to wire them directly to the printer - or to those individuals who are arranging the printing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lotus Ministry Trust is a faith-based non-profit entity as defined by the IRS under code 508(c)1(A).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have an opportunity to make a fundamental difference in book distribution and to please Srila Prabhupada immensely. I am grateful to serve with this campaign. I want to see innumerable original Bhagavad Gitas printed and distributed everywhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal right now: bring Srila Prabhupada's original Bhagavad Gita order to the printers as soon as possible. Kindly share this to anyone who will appreciate what we are doing and who can contribute to this mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you,
</div>
<div><br />
