We write a lot, both for notes and for answering questions, and the only way to keep them from getting lost and to remain available for the present and future generations is to publish a book on a regular basis.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Most of these articles have been written by us and a few of them by other authors. We have chosen to publish the entire Puranjana story by Srila Prabhupada for the richness of its philosophical content. It is so beautiful and profound that we could not resist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 24px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kadachaeditions.com\/art\/a-sidelong-glance-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Go buy the Book<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
