Guru Maharaj: Interesting question. So, we know that people offer pindi at the Gaya temple. And we have heard, how people can offer the effect of Ekadasi. We can offer the fruit to someone else. So it would seem that one could offer the fruit of the donation of the Srimad Bhagavatam. 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. Putri 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.
