Many devotees have been asking for the original Caitanya-caritamrta set since it went out of print in the 1990’s. The BBT have replaced it with a new “revised” edition which includes thousands of changes.
Srila Prabhupada says Bhagavad-gita is the introductory text on the science of Krishna consciousness, Srimad-Bhagavatam is the advanced course and Sri Caitanya-caitamrta is the post-graduate study of spiritual life:
“So study this Caitanya-caritamrta. Now we have got this English edition, very elaborately described, following the footsteps of our Guru Maharaja, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada. So there is no such edition of Caitanya-caritamrta, very elaborately described. But it can be understood by the advanced student. It can be… And so…
“Advanced, you can, anyone, you can become advanced. Advanced means at least one should understand that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If you simply understand these two words, that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then you are advanced. It is not very difficult. Everything, all Vedic literature, they are meant for understanding Krsna. Vedais ca sarvair aham eva vedyam [Bg. 15.15]. So if you simply understand… What is that understanding? That Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead…
if you accept these few words, then you are advanced student, immediately. Take it from me, that simply this conviction, that “Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead,” then you are advanced student in spiritual life.” (from Srila Prabhupada’s class on Cc. Adi 1.1, Mayapur March 25, 1975)

About the Author
Madhudvisa dasa My first contact with a Hare Krishna was a most merciful Mataji in Oxford Street, London who sold me a "Higher Taste" cook book in 1984 while I was on holidays there. I started seriously reading Srila Prabhupada's books in Australia 1985 and by 1986 Srila Prabhupada had convinced me "Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead" and "we should surrender to Krishna." I joined the Hare Krishnas in Perth, Western Australia in 1986. Since then I have been chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, reading and distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and preaching as much as I can. That's my life and full-time occupation now really. I like it more than anything I've ever experienced before. Srila Prabhupada's books are so amazing... Even after reading them all many times they're still fresh and new. They are truly transcendental! That's it really. Now I'm just hankering to once again see the world chant Hare Krishna, dance and feast and float away in the ecstasy of Lord Caitanya's Sankirtana movement as it did in Srila Prabhupada's physical presence. Let the whole world drown in the ecstatic flood of love of Krishna!

Srimad Madhudvisa Prabhu , All glories to the Bonafide Prabhupada Bhaktas ! EVERYONE SHOULD PURCHASE THE C C 17 VOLUME SET AND THE SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM SET …. WHILE YOU CAN !!! THEY ARE ALL REPRINTS OF THE ORIGINALS !!!
P.S. This is to inform you that on your awesome , transcendental and VERY USEFUL site with it’s search capability , Prabhupadabooks .com ( I believe it is your site ? ) The S.B. FIRST CANTO is the 1975/1978 changed version . ( In Hansadutta’s large BLACK hardbound ONE VOLUME S.B. the FIRST CANTO is also the changed version . ). I believe the Isopanisad 1974 version on P. BOOKS.COM is also changed from the 1972 . I personally gave KBI an original 1972 print of the Isopanisad that was used to print the ISOPANISAD , so KBI’S is the Bonafide 1972 version . You may compare it to the 1974 version on Prabhupada books.com to see if it is original . Hope I have not offended you in any way and I am not denigrating your valuable work on behalf of His Divine Grace . There is a saying in the Orient ” to criticize means to help “
Hare Krishna Prabhu
Yes. I am aware that the versions of some of the books on PrabhupadaBooks.com are not first edition. It is a huge job to change it and I have it on my list of about a thousand things that need to be done and I will get to it in due course.
We are printing almost all the physical first-edition books and the printed books are my main focus. And so many other things, but yes. PrabhupadaBooks.com desperately needs some work…

Dandavat Pranam to all devotees
Today is the best day for me and my family including all the ancestors and all the future generations as today on the auspicious day of Mohini Ekadashi by Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s grace Chaitanya Charitamrita has arrived at my house. Now my only duty is to become a pure devotee of Lord Krishna in this life itself.
Hare Krishna prabhu
Dandavat pranam
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Prabhu, can we start reading Chaitanya Charitamrita along with Shrimad Bhagavatam before finishing Shrimad Bhagavatam once?
Yes you can.
Dear Madhudvisa prabhu,
You may remember that I am using the Prabhupadabooks.com website to direct people to, so they can have a first impression of Srila Prabhupada’s unrevised books (of which I’m so, so grateful you that you have made them available online! not in the very least for my own benefit as well)
What I was wondering is if you are having plans to make the option available to have separate links for each book. That way when suggesting a particular book to someone, I can send it straight away, without them having to scroll down for it, which is especially helpful for people who spend a great deal of time online and who click on hundreds of links per day anyway.
So, it’s just an idea, and may induce more people to read Prabhupada’s books.
Hare Krishna
Ys Surabhi
Hare Krishna Surabhi
Thank you for the encouragement on PrabhupadaBooks.com, I want to spend more time on it and develop it more, hopefully I will be able to do some more work on it in the coming months.
There are already links for each book. For example:
https://prabhupadabooks.com/bg/ – Bhagavad-gita
https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb/ – Srimad-Bhagavatam
https://prabhupadabooks.com/cc/ – Caitanya-caritamrta
https://prabhupadabooks.com/nod/ – Nectar of Devotion
etc…
Alright prabhu, that’s very helpful. Didn’t know all you have to do is add the name of the book behind the slash (because clicking on the links through the website doesn’t show in the URL, not for me at least). So thanks! Hare Krishna
I do my 16 rounds, 1 hour of reading of Srila Prabhupada’s books daily and follow 4 regulative principles. Initially I was proud that I had accomplished this great feat.
But only to end up in distress. Now I feel there is still something missing? I don’t understand whether the problem is that I am not chanting and reading with full attention or whether the problem is that I am not following the other instructions of fully dedicating my 24 hours? Kindly help. I am finding it very difficult to continue with my daily regulative principles without getting any encouragement.
2) Prabhu, and one more thing, I have scored very badly in my exams in spite of my full efforts. It does not matter in the long run right? These marks are always distressing and somehow or other affect me very badly sometimes that I find it very difficult to even do my daily rounds…I am glad becoming Krishna conscious does not require us to become PhD.
Hare Krishna Mahima
Yes. Not everyone is good at academic work. So all we can do is try our best. It makes no difference in Krishna consciousness of course. So we have to make an effort, try our best, but the results are in Krishna’s hands. We have to accept it as Krishna’s mercy and have faith that Krishna has some plan for us.
The missing thing is generally service. We have to use our body, mind, money, everything for serving Krishna under the direction of a pure devotee of Krishna. So read Prabhupada’s books more and listen carefully when he is giving you instructions to do things and do them very enthusiastically. And when you are engaged more and more in directly serving Srila Prabhupada like this you will become more and more inspired in Krishna consciousness and your realizations also will increase more and more.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
Madhudvisa dasa
Thank you very much Prabhu! Gradually I am understanding a few verses of Bhagavad Gita which I couldn’t understand earlier…
I am especially referring to the verse :
Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani sarvasah ahankara vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate
I now understand that all results that we get, is a result of our past and thus we shouldn’t wrongly think that we are the doer. My understanding became stronger when I read Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita again and again…
Yet, I had this doubt…kindly clear it Prabhu. With reference to my academics, I was very very good at it and would shine. However in a main exam I committed very silly mistakes and everything went wrong and my dream of years together shattered…
… Somehow I can’t convince myself that this was ordained since my mistakes were very silly….Yet as per this verse am I right to understand that it was ordained?
Sorry for troubling Prabhu…I promise I shall not ask further questions on this… Again,sorry Prabhu.
“The bewildered spirit soul, under the influence of the three modes of material nature, thinks himself to be the doer of activities, which are in actuality carried out by nature.”
There are two things, two ways of looking at it, on one hand we are not the doer and the results of our activities are not in our control. So all we can do is the best we can and be unattached to the results. And on the other hand this is not an excuse for us to be negligent and not do the things we are required to do for our service to Krishna in a neglectful way.
In any case this is in the past and it has already happened and there is nothing you can do about it now. So there is no point in worrying about it.
We have a little independence, at every moment we can choose to serve Krishna or serve maya. That is our independence. We are eternally servants. So we can only choose our master: maya or Krishna.

Haribol
Are these the full-size versions as in 1974? Or are they the A5 sized reprint?
Thanks
It is A5 size, but the text is exact identical size to the original printing and the page size is only a couple of milimeteres narrower and about 10 mm shorter. So there is no difference in the text size and book size is practically identical in width and about 10mm shorter in height.
Printing in exactly the same size as the original printing would have worked out around twice the cost because that is no longer a standard paper size and also it would have to ship in two boxes, not one, thus doubling the shipping cost.
So this is the only practical way to do it and actually it is totally wonderful, it has come out very very beautifully. And the price is so very reasonable. SO GET IT AND READ IT…
I had a small doubt with respect to Krishnastore. Gift vouchers are available only in $($25,$50,$100) but we being in India can only deposit the money in rupees. So suppose we deposit a certain amount of money in rupees, will the money in our Krishnastore wallet fluctuate as rupee varies with $ or will it remain constant?
Hare Krishna Madhusudhan
Yes. KrishnaStore gift vouchers are stored in the system as $US. So their value changes when the exchange rate fluctuates for the other currencies.
We are going to improve the gift voucher system over the next couple of months so they will be stored in the currency they are purchased in and so the system works better.
Right now it is not the best gift certificate system and we do not use them that much.

does this printing have the proper parampara description in the first couple of slokas of adi one.one i.e. using the words “initiated by…” instead of simply “accepted”?
Yes. It is Prabhupada’s original Sri Caitnaya-caritamrta…

I have read most of Prabhupada books and follow basic instructions but I still struggle to answer questions of neophytes or challenge atheists, pseudo-devotees. I am useless. totally. anyhow how to increase my comprehension of the books so that I can atleast atleast answer simple questions or face simple challenges (that to when wicked, cruel,demonic circumstances,surroundings and elders prevent me from FULL surrender to Srila Prabhupada or becoming full time devotee like you)???

Just chant at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra every day, strictly follow the four regulative principles and read Srila Prabhupada’s books at least 1-2 hours, listen to all the Prabhupada classes, lectures, morning walks, etc. When you read Prabhupada’s books read them aloud so you hear them yourself and chant them. Hearing and chanting is much more potent than just reading in your mind. In this way if you sincerely actually follow these things when someone asks you a question just surrender to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, knowing you are hopeless and totally unqualified and unable to answer the question, and pray for guidance and inspiration, and speak. And your answer to the question will be perfect.
Deity worship is awesome. I just went to house of devotee cople in nearby locality and just enjoyed it at 4.30am!!!! But I am broke. Cannot afford Gaura-niti murti as of now. Is there any online simulation (or any plan of such simulation)of deity worship where I can dress them in the simulation? till I buy actual one…
Yes. Just get a picture of Panca-Tattva and worship that. Picture is just as good as deity.
hi there madhudvisa das
how are you doing, i have questions whenever you have time reply
1 .can we eat pickles
en two what happens to a person who dies with tulasi flowers or tulsi manjari on his body while cremates even if the person is sinful.
greatings
Cicero
Hare Krishna Cicero
We can only accept Krishna Prasadam. So devotees cook for Krishna and offer to Krishna. So if a devotee cooks pickles and offers them to Krishna then it is prasadam and we can accept it. But we can not offer to Krishna or eat anything prepared by a non-devotee.
Tulsi is not meant to be offered to dead people…
Tulsi is only meant for offering to Krishna.
So the idea is Krishna likes Tulsi so we should offer Tulsi to Krishna. Once the Tulsi has been offered to Krishna then it becomes prasadam. So then if you accept the tulsi prasadam it will be beneficial to you.
So it would be possible and beneficial to offer a dying person tulsi prasadam. The point is you are offering the dying person Krishna Prasadam. The tulsi has to have been already offered to Krishna, then it will certainly be beneficial. Exactly how much I can not say for sure. It depends on so many things. Ajamila was a sinful man who simply called out the name of his son [who was called Narayana] at the time of his death and because of chanting the name of Narayana at the time of death the sinful Ajamila was immediately purified and the Visnudutas [servants of Lord Visnu] immediately appeared to take him back home back to Godhead.
So if you can get the dying person to also chant Hare Krishna that would be very good for them… They have nothing to loose and everything to gain. So you should be able to convince them to chant Hare Krishna…

Hare Krishna,
After I saw it on your site two years back that ISKCON is making changes in books like Srimad Bhagavatam, I downloaded your books and ISKCON books (Srimad Bhagavatam) and read it and also checked it but could not find any difference.
Please let me know why you found difference or is it a trick to sell your books and make money in the name of Original etc??

Please go to http://www.bookchanges.com for details of ISKCON’s changes to Srila Prabhupada’s books.

Yippee! The wholesale boxes have reached India!!! Thank you so much Prabhu! You just have no idea what tremendous service you are doing. No one can ever do as much service as you have done and are doing! This is so good news!..no more customs problem! I really can’t imagine how pleased Srila Prabhupada must be with you.
All glories, all glories, all glories to your service!!!!
yes. so now you can get some of these new books and distribute them…
Will the same be done for Srimad Bhagavatam?
Yes. Very soon.

Any update about the printing and availibility of Srimad Bhagavatam 30volume.

Keep checking KrishnaStore.com, you will see it there when and if it is back in print.
Prabhu,
1) The krishnastore.in is just awesome but I guess the “wholesale” option is missing in the Indian Krishnastore.:
( https://krishnastore.in/books-wholesale-om-21_37.html?c=85 )=>This link is not present in the website or atleast I’m not finding it. If there is some reason behind it, please ignore what I said.
2) Is the krishna.org server working properly? I have some problem when I directly type krishna.org in the address bar. Anyhow, for me it’s OK. But when I tell others , they should be able to open it directly. If the problem is only for me, again please ignore what I said…
Sorry Prabhu…
Your humble servant….
Hare Krishna Rukmini
Yes. The wholesale section is missing in KrishnaStore.in
That is because right now we do not have stock of the cases of books in India. We will be getting them next year so next year the wholesale section will be there. But problem is we only have the cases of books in USA and some other countries like UK, Australia, etc, not in India at the moment… So it will come next year for sure.
As far as krishna.org there was a change that may have been causing some problem. We did put it to https://krishna.org but today I have put it back the way it was originally at https://krishna.org so whatever problem was there is hopefully now solved. If you still find any problem please let me know.
All glories to your service!

Prabhu,
Can I use the money I collected by distributing Krishna’s books, to pay the customs duty of Krishna’s books. Am I misusing the money? Will the people who contributed be similarly benefited as they do when I spend the money for purchasing the books?
Thank You.
Hare Krishna Rekha
Yes. You can use the money that you collected by distributing the books to pay the customs fees to get new books to distribute. Yes. The people will benefit who contributed the money because without paying the customs duty you can not get the books. So by paying the customs duty you will get the books and will be able to distribute them to many more people. So the people who contributed to paying the customs duty are making it possible for you to get the books to distribute so they will benefit from this certainly.

Till date I have read till 4th chapter of Bhagavad Geeta. My uncle recently bought Caitanna Caritamrat
set from krishnastore. He says it is very very interesting. SO I am tempted to directly start reading it. Is it ok to directly start reading it or should I complete Bhagavad Geeta and Srimat Bhagvatam before I start reading it????
Hare Krishna.
You should finish reading Bhagavad=gita. It is not a big book. You should be able to read it in a couple of weeks. Then if you have Srimad-Bhagavatam you should read that, then Caitanya=caritamrta. But if you just want to read Caitanya=caritamrta then you can do that also. Ideally you should read the books in order but it is like sugar candy, anywhere you bite it is sweet. So if you want to read Caitanya-caritamrta now then you can. It is a very nice book….
Prabhu,How did you celebrate Krishna Janmasthami along with increasing book distribution on a large scale?
I am working on printing Srila Prabhupada’s Srimad-Bhagavatam in original 30 volume edition.
Hare Krishna
When this Srimad Bhagavatam 30 vol. will be available for sale?
Keep checking out KrishnaStore.com and Krishna.org, we will announce there when it becomes available.
Hare Krishna Prabhu
But 30 volume Bhagavatam is already available for sale on Krishnastore.com, so is there will be any difference in the new one which u will provide there. Offcourse the current version is placed at very high price for around $175. Kindly clear my doubt.
$175 is not a high price for a set of 30 books…
Current edition is virtually out of stock. Only a few sets are remaining so it needs to be reprinted.
I think Srila Prabhupada’s conversations are not in pdf format. Are they? If available can they be uploaded? If they are not, shall I take the task of converting them to pdf by using doc to pdf converter.
Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna
There is not much point in converting Prabhupada’s conversations to PDF format. It can be very easily done of course if someone wanted to have them in PDF format. But what is the point of this? Prabhupada’s conversations are available with a powerful search engine in both the Vedabase folio program and on http://www.PrabhupadaBooks.com
So it is not much point having them in non-searchable pdf files when they are already available on all devices in very easily searchable formats.

You can get the Caitanya Caritamrta set in India from Divya Multi-Media in Loy Bazaar, Vrindava.
That is okay Prabhu, I’ve already bought that copy of Shri Chaitanya Charitramrita, but as it is mentioned in one of the above comments that ‘there is a India Branch of Krishnastore.com and we can inquire about the titles available’, however they seems to unaware about any Indian branch and titles and they are claiming only to be a online store having no branch in India.

Yes. There is no Indian KrishnaStore.com at the moment but you can get the Caitanya-caritamrta and will be able to get the Srimad-Bhagavatam also at Divya Multi Media in Loy Bazaar in Vrindavan when it is available.

No. We don’t have a donate button. What I suggest is you purchase some cases of Srila Prabhupada’s original books and distribute them from:

Hi,
When I posted a query about sending a donation I received a reply straight away, but when I sent an enquiry about a service that I would like then a reply is neglected.. It seems like I am just pepping others egos again just like in the karmi world ..
I am working 18 hours a day on getting Srimad-Bhagavatam printed Prabhu. I do not have time to promptly reply to the comments on this site. That is the cause of the delay. Please forgive me.
Please excuse my impatience Madhudvisa , I’ll dove tail my impatience to getting out of the material labyrinth.
ww
Just a few days ago, I read the part where Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed Rupa Goswami in Prayag. I have been chanting 16 rounds and following 4 regulative principles since quite a long time. But I was shocked to realise that unknowingly I had also been watering the unnecessary creepers that grow along with the bhakti creeper. As the chapter states, offensive chanting helps in growth of these unwanted creepers and such a person is a psuedo-devotee. I feel this might be the reason why at my university I feel so greedy to obtain a high paying job like all my other non devotee friends. So how do I stop these unnecessary creepers from growing as chanting offenselessly is very tough( especially lack of attention). Also if I start distibuting Srila Prabhupada’s books will I be able to destroy these unwanted creepers, as sincerity is the most important thing? And only Krishna prasadam also?
Hare Krishna
Keep on reading Srila Prabhupada’s Sri Caitanya-caritamrta and you will find all the answers. And yes. Surrendering to the mission of Srila Prabhupada and assisting him in distributing his books will help you a great deal. Krishna consciousness means devotional service. It means we have to use our energy, our money, our mind, our everything in the service of Krishna under the direction of a pure devotee of Krishna. So Srila Prabhupada says: “If you love me distribute my books.” So any sincere follower of Srila Prabhupada must distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books… And yes this will be a great help to you and will help you chant offenslessly.
Prabhu, I am thinking that while distributing POY , I shall also give magazines to the people who buy it. In that magazine I would like to include an article on “What happened to the Hare Krishnas” (from the http://www.harekrishnas.org website) and on “Book changes”…just briefly in about 12 small pages . In the city I live in, almost everyone is a member of ISCKON(Bangalore) .Now ISCKON Bangalore is also degrading… So I think this might warn them not to read books from there(or be it’s member). I will also include in the magazine, your websites containing the original books so that people could read more original books…Could you please tell me whether this will be a good idea or it’s not necessary…?
Hare Krishna Divine
You should not bother warning people about other devotees, etc. Rather you should preach the proper thing yourself.
In Kali-yuga practically everyone is bogus. If you spend your time trying to warn the people about all the bogus people then all your time will be spoiled in that way.
Rather we should concentrate on being not bogus ourselves, we have to become pure devotees of Krishna ourselves, and preach. Spread pure love of Krishna. That is all. That will work. Get everyone to chant Hare Krishna and read Srila Prabhupada’s books… Don’t bother about the others…

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Is it still possible to order from you through your Canadian krishnastore.ca website ?
Yes. It is fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your efforts in preserving the originals. Hare KRSNA~!
How did the original Caitanya-caritamrta get the original images? The scanned PDFs? I am curious as to the quality of the reprint. Is the new Original Srimad Bhagavatam going to have crystal clear copies of the original plates, etc? I already ordered multiple copies. I trust that I will be very pleased.
Yes. Everything is crystal clear. Just as good as the original. Everyone else is pleased so far. So I do not know if you will be pleased but the books are just as good as the original quality. Only Cc is printed now. SB is not available at this time.
We are bookdisributers in India. We order from krishnastore.com. This time we ordered case of 240 Perfection of Yoga. Due to some problem it was very delayed but finally the books were sent to us from the Indian branch of krishnastore.com We were also given 40$ coupon to compensate the shipping price as the shipping was originally to be done from America.
1) I would like to know if the books shipped to us from the Indian branch of krishnastore are the original ones as those from America?
2)And if so can we in the future get “all the books “we want from the Indian branch of krishnastore. And will “all” the books be original as the ones from American branch?
Hare Krishna Rekha
Yes. The POY books we sent to you from the Indian Branch of KrishnaStore.com are the same as the ones from the US. Currently we have limited stocks of the original books in the Indian branch. We have plenty of the Caitayna-caritamrta sets. We will be having more and more titles available to ship from India in the future.
We do have a few titles which we purchase from Indian BBT which are still the original text. So the best thing is you write to customer support on KrishnaStore.com with the list of books you want to purchase and they can give you the full details of what is available to ship directly form India.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

Madhuvisa Prabhu,
Since you have a Krishna Store Branch in India, Kindly open Krishna store India branch online where one can order & pay via Indian Banks Netbanking or Visa Debit Cards like Amazon India. This will be huge success. Using Pay Pal in India is in-convenient due to rupee dollar conversions etc. At present ISKCON Books has a website iskconbooks.com where they sell all the doctored versions of Srila Prabhupada Books which can be ordered online and paid using Indian Banks Net Banking or Debit Cards.
I want to buy 17 volume of chaitanya prabhu
Just order it at KrishnaStore.com and we will send it to you immediately:

Hari Bol Madhudvisa dasa..
I am extremely surprised how quick these wonderful books arrived. I just recieved them this morning and they are very beautiful, nicely wrapped. Thank you very much prabhu. Will study them as soon as I finish Bhagavatam. 20 years out of print, and now we are very fortunate to have the original Caitanya Caritamrta. Srila Prabhupada is still with us, lets continue to serve him. Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much to fulfilling this long cherished desire to have the original Caitanya Caritamrita published and available.
Hare Krishna,
Pamho
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Ordered these books as soon as they were released last week, just was wondering have they reached the U.S. yet prabhu?
Hare Krishna Prabhu
Not yet. They are on the way. On the boat… But I can send your order by courier so you get it soon.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

Hari Bol
I already placed the order the for the books when they barely released prabhu. Paid a little extra for them as well. I can wait for them. Im still reading Bhagavatam in the meantime. Thank you very much.
but if you have made the arrangement, that will be nice. thank you prabhu..
Hare Krishna
I have made the arrangement and it should be sent by courier today or tomorrow at the latest.
Hari Bol Madhudvisa dasa..
Prabhu thank you very much for this arrangement. You have done serious help for the whole planet with your websites and Krsna Conscious emails and you have also helped a tremendous amount of people progress in spiritual life at the same time. Thank you for continuing Prabhupadas vision.
Hare Krishna
This is exciting. Will they ever print the Bhagavatam in original size? I never did like those scaled down versions.
Best to purchase the original Caitanya-caritamrta now when it is available. Who knows what will happen in the future? Get the Caitanya-caritamrta NOW and read it… We have to take advantages of the opportunities we have now.
I remember there used to be a small sized one volume edition of the entire Sri Mad Bhagavatam. Do you know where I might be able to purchase one if it still exists? Thank you. Hari Krishna.
Hare Krishna Robert
No, it does not exist anymore. It was not very practical. The print was so small that it was almost impossible to read…
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

The one volume book was practical,for me because during my reading of it I was in accomodation then homeless then in a mental hospital , then visiting iskcon temples and getting thrown out, then homeless again etc……I finished reading it and have stayed in accomodation for years now,..
The one volume edition was practical for putting in rucksack..
Now you can go to http://www.PrabhupadaBooks.com and read on your phone or other device. We now have a new mobile version so it is easier to read on your phone.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji! Dandavat Pranam! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your service to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada’s original books!!!! All glories to the transcendental book distributors of Srila Prabhupada’s original books!!!
I would love to purchase a copy of the original Chaitanya Charitamrita, which I hear is rare and limited collectors edition. But then I did not read the Bhagavatam fully, which is recommended to be read before CC (I am reading that from a free Kindle version I got from one site). Till now, the only hard copy I have is Prabhupada Library. Anyway, I am confused between the purchase of a Bhagavatam set or this rare CC!
Hare Krishna!
Aspiring to serve you and Srila Prabhupada more and more!
Hare Krishna
Purchase Bhagavatam set. Cc. set we will have it for some time. So purchase Bhagavatam set and read it. Or if you feel you want to purchase Cc set and read it. The main thing is to be always reading Srila Prabhupada’s books. So you need to Get Prabhupada’s books. If you don’t have them you can’t read them..
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

All Glories to Sri Chaitanya prabhu. & Prabhupadji
Today is Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhus’s birthday Gaur Purnima. Prabhuji why have you not uploaded any newsletter today for him.
I have released Prabhupada’s original 17 Volume Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Set today!!!
Please buy it and read it!
http://krishnastore.com/sri-caitanyacaritamrta-original-17-volume-set-1974-edition-h-krishna-3415.html
Hare Krishna Prji.
I want to buy both CC and SB. How much they will cost me in Vrndavana?
Can I purchase it in Vrndavana itself from where Mataji stayed?
Hare Krishna Prabhu
In Vrindavan you can purchase Caitanya-caritamrta from Divya Multi-Media. That shop is at the beginning of Loy bazaar at exactly the intersection of the road where all the Loy Bazaar shops are and the road that goes out to the Banki Behari Temple. There you will get the best price. At the place where Mataji stayed they do not have the Cc available.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 30 volume set is currently only in stock in Europe and the only way to get that set is to order it on KrishnaStore.com and we will send it to you from Europe.
Otherwise the only current option is to purchase from ISKCON but they do not sell only Prabhupada Srimad-Bhagavatam. They make you purchase the complete set that has bogus books by bogus ISKCON people at the end. But the Prabhupada Books may be OK.
We plan to print original first edition Bhagavatam also but that is not going to be available for another 6-9 months.
So what I suggest you do is go to Vrindavan and get the original Caitanya-caritamrta set now and read it and by the time you have finished reading it we will probably have the original first edition Bhagavatam set available also.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!

I stay in New Delhi & via SMS on 10-Jun-2015, I Enquired from Shri Vaibhav the owner of Divya Books [http://www.divyabooks.com] Loi Bazar Vrindavan about the 17 Volumes Chaitanya Charitamrita set. It is available with them for INR Rs 4000/- + Rs 500/- towards shipping charges to anywhere inside India. The E-Mail is vaibhav_in@yahoo.com & Mobile no is +91-98972-72941. This is for the benefit of all Hare Krishna Devotees.

Yes. We are considering an Indian version of KrishnaStore.com with prices in Indian rupees and accepting the Indian payment methods. Currently we do not have it and as you mention the Caitanya-caritamrta set is available from Divya Multi-Media in Vrindavan and they can ship to anywhere in India for a reasonable cost.
