Book Distribution out of chowpatti India
"Bhakta Anand Renuke Prabhu had made nice arrangements for book distribution in his own industrial unit in Sewree. We were trying to attract the attention of people passing by in steady streams but to no avail! We were not able to distribute even small books in significant numbers and thought to ourselves with some disappointment that we did not have the mercy of Srila Prabhupada to distribute books in the locality of Sewree. We...
Srila Prabhupada Letter to Ramesvara dasa, January 9th 1973
“I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated December 27, 1972, and with great happiness I have read your figures of amount of books sold during three-day period, December 22-24, 1972.

That indicates to me that people are at last becoming a little serious about this Krsna consciousness movement in your country....

Krishna is Making a Place for Himself in Each Home

We have been covering this area for a little more than a month. We knocked on a door with nice decorations on it, and Tulsi was growing in the front yard. The first week that we knocked on the door, no one was home. The second week, only a child was home, so we could not...
More Nectar from Madhumangal
Two days ago, I was doing "roaming sankirtan" – I walk and whoever I meet along the way I stop and present Srila Prabhupada's books (it's also a nice way of getting exercise). I was walking past an office block in Rondebosch, there I saw one man backing up his car into a parking bay and approached him. I introduced myself to him and showed him Srila Prabhupada's books. He was very interested in the books...
