Finland

Our Humble Obeisances! Jaya Srila Prabhupada! Last week our group was in Turku. We had a free apartment in the city centre. Since doing sankirtan in Finland usually means lot of driving, I got the opportunity to take a holiday from that and went to the walking street of Turku every day. It is technically quite an ideal place for distribution, enough people but not too rushed, nobody complains about us, lot of students and young people...

A Few Incidents During The Prabhupada Marathon

I did not need to tell him anything more about...

Celebrating the Advent of Bhagavad Gita

By Pancharatna Dasa Dear prabhu, Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Today is the auspicious celebration of the advent of Bhagavad-gita, delivered by Sri Krishna to Arjuna in Kuruksetra more than 5000 years ago.  For me it is especially a day to thank Srila Prabhupada for bringing us Bhagavad-gita As It Is. We all know how much of himself Srila Prabhupada gave to his books.He...

Distribute as many books as humanly possible…

The internal substance of our movement will be recognized to the degree the devotees actually live by what Srila Prabhupada has taught us, and live by the example that he has set.
