Frequently Asked Questions

Books are available in three formats: Print (physical copies shipped to your address), PDF (a fixed-layout digital file ideal for reading on computers and tablets), and EPUB (a reflowable digital format suited for e-readers and mobile devices). You may purchase any format individually, or in combination.

A PDF preserves the exact layout of the printed page — fonts, spacing, and design remain fixed regardless of screen size. It is best suited for larger screens such as laptops or tablets.

An EPUB is a reflowable format: the text adjusts and reflows to fit the screen size and font preferences of the reader. EPUBs are ideal for e-readers such as Kindle or Kobo, and for smartphones, offering a more comfortable reading experience on smaller screens.

Audio series are fulfilled through Amazon S3, a professional cloud delivery service that enables very fast, reliable downloads even for large files. This is what is indicated as High-Speed Download on your download card.

Digital books — PDF and EPUB — are smaller in file size and are delivered directly from our website server, referred to as Direct Server Download. Both methods are secure; the distinction simply reflects the delivery infrastructure used for each type of file.

When you initiate the download of an audio series, a three-day download window opens. You will see a notification confirming that your window has started, and the expiry date and time will be clearly displayed on your download card.

You have the full three days to complete your download at your convenience. Even our largest series is approximately 12–13 GB — well within reach over a standard broadband connection within that window.

After the three-day window expires, the standard download button is replaced with a Request Re-Download button. Clicking it opens a short form with your details already pre-filled. You may optionally add a note, then submit the request.

Our team at AVRPT will review it and typically respond within one to two business days by sharing a secure Google Drive access link so you can complete your download.

There is no need to worry. All digital purchases — both audio series and digital books — remain accessible through your AVRPT account at any time.

Simply log in, navigate to the Downloads section, and re-download any item you have purchased. Your purchase history is safely stored in your account and does not expire.

At present, our payment gateway is configured for India-based payment methods only. We are currently in the process of obtaining FCRA registration, which is required for us to accept international payments.

Once this process is complete, we will open the website fully to customers worldwide — including the ability to purchase and download audio series from any country. We will make an announcement as soon as international ordering becomes available.

Our catalogue continues to grow as more of Swamiji's teachings are made available in digital form. If you are looking for a specific series or title that you do not find listed, please do write to us — we will look into your request and get back to you as soon as possible.
