Get Involved
The restoration of Srila Prabhupada's original books is a community undertaking. Here is how you can help.
Order the originals
Pre-orders tell us which titles to print first, and in what numbers. Place a pre-order — it is free and non-binding.
Print and distribute
If your temple or press can print, apply for a licence. The Trust's approach is non-exclusive and mission-first.
Spread the word
Share this site with devotees, librarians and scholars who care about the original texts. Accurate information, calmly presented, is the best support.
Stay informed
Occasional email updates: print schedules, licensing news, and developments in the Trust's court process. No more than monthly; unsubscribe any time.
The Trust is not soliciting donations at this stage. When donation facilities open they will be announced here, with clean, mission-applied accounting.
Notice to licensees & agents · Draft pending counsel
Confirm your arrangements with the Trust
The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust — the charitable religious trust established on 29 May 1972 — is regularising its publishing and licensing. Its ownership of the copyrights in Srila Prabhupada's works was confirmed by the Superior Court of California in 1998 (case BC 170617).
All persons and entities that hold, or claim to hold, an agency, licence or other authority to print or distribute these works are invited to confirm and review their arrangements directly with the Trust — not with the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc. — on or before 31 July 2026.
The Trust's current trusteeship is in the process of being confirmed by the California Superior Court (Probate Code § 17200). This notice is informational and is not legal advice. [Placeholder wording — to be replaced with counsel's final text.]
