NAM%ASTE OM RAMAKRISHNAYA!

 

 

I possess several copies Bhagavad Gita, in English+Sanskrit.

I don't have the version of Nikhilananda, but I have a copie in French,

from Nikhikandha.

 

The free copies that I can send are the versions from Vireswarananda

(edit.Ramakrishna Mission)

 

My private address:

Shanti! PEACE!
