Jayapatākā Swami: Why not?
You tell them to observe festivals,
tell them to practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness every day,
do both.
Haribol!

It is said that if someone donates Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam on Bhādra Pūrṇimā, they go back to Goloka. Would one who has already passed away also attain the same benefit if somebody donated a set on their behalf?

Jayapatākā Swami: Interesting question.
So, we know that people offer piṇḍa at the Gayā temple.
And we have heard, how people can offer the effect of Ekādaśī.
We can offer the fruit to someone else.
So it would seem that one could offer the fruit of the donation of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
I don’t have on hand the direct verse saying that.
But a son who helps the father from the hellish condition is called the putra.
Pu is a hell.
And tra means in short, to deliver.
Putra means one who delivers the parent from hell.
Putrī is the female of the same.
So, it certainly cannot hurt a person, to give such a donation.
We hope that they would go to Goloka.
Certainly, he would be blessed in many ways.
