There are many buildings in Vrindaban which are constructed on this principle, and for Delhi men it will be very convenient.

You can take any amount of books and sell them and utilize the money for building in Vrindaban, Mayapur and Bombay. And if possible, in exchange of the books, because for importing there must be some exchange through the Indian banks, so in exchange for books we can get mridungas, deities, arotik articles, like that, so that wholly or partly the books may be "purchased" by you. And you may get men to donate the deities, mrdungas, etc. That will be good exchange programme.
