All three have been distributing books for more than fifty years. What great examples! Bhrigupati Prabhu is in his seventies, but he moves like an energetic young man. He was the No. 2 distributor in the USA in March, with 2,920 book points. Divyanga Prabhu was No. 4 in the US, with 855 book points. In the 1970s, he saw devotees in their van in front of a store, and he asked whether he could get a ride with them into a music concert. They said yes, and then they introduced him to Prabhupada&#8217;s books. He found them interesting, so he gave a donation and took some. Mrgendra Prabhu asked Divyanga whether he would join them in distributing books to people going to the concert. He agreed. He did it all day and liked it, so the devotees invited him to join them at the next concert. He did that, and he&#8217;s still going strong. Adi Karta Prabhu was No. 6 in the US, with 721 books points. He not only distributes books but cultivates the people who buy books from him. Some of them become his disciples. When I was distributing with him in Miami, he said, &#8220;Mostly I go out on sankirtan to make friends, and sometimes they take books and give donations.&#8221; <!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-distribution","category-mayapur-sasi-dasa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108182"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108185,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108182\/revisions\/108185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
