Dandavat pranama. By the causeless mercy of Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga, Srila Gurudeva's books are now going to the prisons.
Donations are mercifully being given through http://www.gvpbookdistribution.com/ and our team which includes Syamarani dasi, Mahasakti prabhu, Ranga didi, Gopika dasi, Visvambhara prabhu, Radha dasi and myself have been working towards having Srila Gurudeva's books sponsored for prisons, hospitals, hostels, doctor's offices and anywhere devotees are inspired to put these transcendental gems.
We will soon be sending books to two more prison programs (one in Australia and one in North Carolina), and also will be starting our rack program, where racks will be put in various places with sponsored books.
If anyone wants to get involved in any way - please write to me at vasantidasi@gmail.com.
Below is a thank you letter from the Philadephia Prison Program called Books through Bars:

Dear Raksha (Ranga devi),I am writing to you today on behalf of our organization Books Through Bars in order to thank you for your recent and generous book donation. You can be assured that these books will come to good use and be sent out in packages to incarcerated persons who write to us requesting either spiritual or meditational texts.
Thank you again for your donation and support.
Sincerely,
Emily Abendroth,
Books Through Bars
