Jai Shree Krushna
My name is Aastha, 19 years of age from Leicester, England .A couple of months ago i messaged you asking to send me pushtimarg books because i was extremely delighted to have found you do english translations. But i did not buy pustaks at that time because it was not viable for me due to the costs.
A couple of weeks ago i got the opportunity to set up a stall of a vaishnav couple that sold things related to seva. To my surprise and excitement THEY HAD YOUR BOOKS TO SELL!!!!!!!!! and that too at an affordable price. No shipping fees! Thakorji knew i was deeply anxious for pushtimarg knowledge and Prabhu listened to me. I was SO SO HAPPY.
And my goodness, the next day i brought the money over and made sure i got the pustaks.
I have only managed to finish the Nava Vijnapati pustak and it is amazing. No words. Not to mention the fact that after the Vijnapati you have added extra things like ashtasakhas pads on Vijnapati, or Shri Krishnasharanshtakam by Shri Harirayji which i did not know existed.
I have been so so so so so desperate to learn more about pushtimarg and that too in english.Literally dying for knowledge.
I have never written a thank you email so im kicking myself in the foot because how on earth do i express my gratitude to you and everyone else who has made these translations possible, each and everyone one you i thank. Seriously. If i was i able meet you i would be jumping with happiness expressing my gratitude.
I still want more books as this is nowhere near enough, so I hope by Thakorji and Mahaprabhujis Krupa i get a hold of more because I want to know everything.
But i seriously seriously just want to thank you so so so so so much. Please tell me if there is anything I can ever to do help any type of seva. Thank you so so so so much for these translations.
Thank you, Mahaprabhuji and Thakorjis Krupa will always be on you.
I cannot express my happiness that this publication company exists

I have read all the parts of this trilogy which I was delighted to find in English. It’s a challenge to get authentic translations of the powerful Pushtimarg texts but I can definitely say these books are amazing. They don’t just tell the stories but also explain the moral / learning for each one and I find this really helpful. It often answers any questions that I may have had upon reading the stories.

I am so grateful to Vraja Kishori Publications & especially to Krishnaakinkari for bringing Shri Vallabhacharya’s founded path, Pustimarga, as English translations for people like me who are unable to read Indian languages and therefore unable to fully follow & understand The Path of Grace. From childhood I had practiced the Path, however very meaningless without understanding and always with lots of questions.
The first books I purchased were The ‘Brahma Sambandha’ & ‘Namami Yamunamaham’. Intention was to buy for my son, but as I read them I realised the lack of my understanding and needed to read and understand further.
I have bought most of the books, some of my favourites 84 and 252 Vaishnavon Ki Varta, (factual stories that take you back to Mahaprabhuji’s pastimes which so much relate to today’s lives) Shodasha Grantha (the backbone of the path) and The BasicPushtimargi Dictionary which is a must, a great reference for terminology. For poetry lovers I would definitely recommend The Vraja Festival Calendar, Rasakhan Rasa Ki Khan, Vasanta Ashtayam Seva, and recent additions of the eight poets Surdasji & Kumbhandasji totally mesmerising and transforms you to Radha Krishna’s pastimes.
The structure of the books is set out perfectly well:they have main script in Indian language with English pronunciation and followed with translation word for word. Most importantly with explanation (Bhavaprakash) to what it’s trying to say in simpler terms.
These books have helped answer lot of my questions, engaged me with my path and 100 % feel good fact that I am donating to a wonderful charity that is making a great difference to many lives.

I have seen a lot of posts over the last few months about wanting to donate directly to the needy. I recently discovered this charity. They take the clothes/spectacles etc. directly into the poor and needy in India. I was really pleased with the process and i got a video of the distribution. The lady is based in n w London. Use the uk number (+44 one) in the contact details.

Goshala Seva and all its aspects of Satvic cow husbandry, to my speculation /realisation this is singularly the most important Seva for the balanced welfare, sustainability and continuity of human society. So many great personalities and Sages have emphasised the 'Cow based economy' as the necessary foundation for Sanatan Dharma to flourish. The best propitiation to balance the gross imbalances the earth is continuing to clear out, for the foreseeable future, the best stabilising contribution one can make for the long term welfare of one and all is to support authentic Satvic Cow Husbandry. Everything else may have its value , utility and place but all is secondary to Goshala Seva. Whatever else one's faith or practice requires, all is secondary to Goshala Seva.
