One major reason.

BBT supports and publishes Bhagavad Gita A It Is NOT by the subversive traitor Jayadvaita.

Two.

BBT does not publish and has not published for a while Cooking with Kurma , which used to be number 8 best selling book in Australia. What is the reason for that?

Three.

BBT does not care to publish preacher’s essentials such as the Vaishnava Verse Book by His Grace Rohininandana Prabhu for example.

ADDITIONALLY, there is an issue with the”Western Pacific” Sydney BBT warehouse manager, who restricts to the extreme book supplies, meaning to say: for whatever reason he instituted a unique window of opportunity every two weeks or so, when he will ship any quantity of books. I got the impression he prioritizes his personal sense gratification and convenience above all instead. 

We may legitimately ask: What business in his right mind would restrict the sale of its goods and services in such a restrictive manner? He also weaponises your order, meaning to say if you displease him, he’ll just try to cancel your order. I doubt that this type of blackmailing fits within the BBT ethical code of conduct, if there is such a thing in existence at all, of course, which we doubt very much.

But this cancelling of book supplies however, definitely falls under Srila Prabhupada’s definition of violence as in BGAII 13. 8-12:

“Nonviolence is generally taken to mean not killing or destroying the body, but actually nonviolence means not to put others into distress. People in general are trapped by ignorance in the material concept of life, and they perpetually suffer material pains. So unless one elevates people to spiritual knowledge, one is practicing violence. One should try his best to distribute real knowledge to the people, so that they may become enlightened and leave this material entanglement. That is nonviolence.”

Therefore this policy of whimsically cancelling customer’s orders must be vehemently condemned along with its author.

In the whole of BBT Sydney warehouse history, such despotic management has never been seen before. First the manager dictated exclusively when you can place an order and when it can be dispatched. Then he is trying to dictate exclusively how it can be freighted to destination and manipulates you to that effect. As I have personally experienced, he does not hesitate to lie to achieve his goals either. And we wonder what he will try to exclusively dictate next. 

But a devotee is definitely not a liar and conversely a liar is definitely not a devotee.

There will be many more reasons that attract the label “Under bad management” for the BBT indeed. 

We look forward to the welcome label “UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT” instead.
