On the Full Moon of Bhadra
Bhagavatam
Daan
Sponsor a complete set of Srila Prabhupada’s Srimad Bhagavatam — the ripened fruit of all Vedic literature. One set carries 18,000 verses of Krishna katha into a library, a school or a home that will read it for generations.
Offer the Srimad Bhagavatam this Bhadra Purnima
The full moon of Bhadra is the highest occasion in the year to worship and to give away the Bhagavatam. Reserve your set now and it is placed on the altar and offered in your name on the day itself.
प्रौष्ठपद्यां पौर्णमास्यां हेमसिंहसमन्वितम् ।
ददाति यो भागवतं स याति परमां गतिम् ॥
prauṣṭhapadyāṁ paurṇamāsyāṁ hema-siṁha-samanvitam
dadāti yo bhāgavataṁ sa yāti paramāṁ gatim
“If on the full moon day of the month of Bhadra one places Srimad Bhagavatam on a golden throne and gives it as a gift, he will attain the supreme transcendental destination.”

Why This Gift Outlasts Every Other
Anna daan fills the stomach for a day. Vastra daan clothes the body for a season. Gyan daan — the gift of knowledge — stays with a soul across lifetimes. And of all knowledge, the Srimad Bhagavatam is the science of Krishna itself, written by Srila Vyasadeva to carry a reader step by step from curiosity to pure devotion.
A sponsored set does not end with the person who receives it. It sits on a shelf and is opened by one reader after another, year after year, long after the festival and the donor are both forgotten.
“This Bhagavata Purana is as brilliant as the sun, and it has arisen just after the departure of Lord Krishna to His own abode. Persons who have lost their vision due to the dense darkness of ignorance in the age of Kali shall get light from this Purana.”
Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.43
12 Cantos. 18,000 Verses. One Set.
The Complete Srimad Bhagavatam
The set you sponsor is the whole work, not a single volume — twelve cantos that open with the structure of the cosmos, move through the histories of the great devotees, and arrive at Krishna’s own pastimes in the Tenth Canto.
The entire Bhagavatam expands from the catuh-sloki, the four seed verses Krishna spoke to Lord Brahma at the beginning of creation. Every volume carries Srila Prabhupada’s original Sanskrit, Roman transliteration, word-for-word meanings, English translation and the Bhaktivedanta purports.

Questions People Ask
How do I donate a Srimad Bhagavatam set through ISKCON Kopargaon?
Choose a tier in the table above — from a single set up to fifty-one — or enter any amount you wish to give. You will be taken to the temple’s secure Razorpay page to complete the payment. Write to us afterwards with the name the dedication should carry, and we confirm by email once the set is offered and sent out.
What does one Srimad Bhagavatam set include?
Srila Prabhupada’s complete translation, published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust: the original Sanskrit verse, Roman transliteration, word-for-word meanings, the English or Hindi translation, and the Bhaktivedanta purports — for every verse, across all twelve cantos.
Where are the donated sets distributed?
Public and university libraries, schools and colleges, ashrams and reading rooms, and sincere seekers who have asked the temple for the books — across Kopargaon, Shirdi and the surrounding district. The devotees handle the placement themselves; no agency is involved.
Can I dedicate a Bhagavatam Daan in memory of someone?
Yes, and many donors do. Sets are commonly sponsored for a birthday, a wedding anniversary, or in the memory of a departed family member. Tell us the name and the occasion, and the dedication is carried with the set when it is offered on Bhadra Purnima.
Is this donation genuine, and where does my money go?
ISKCON Kopargaon is part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and operates from the Samskar Value Education Centre, Kopargaon, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra 423603. Payments are taken through Razorpay, and your contribution funds the printing and placement of the books by the temple’s own devotees.
