Joined because of Krishna.com – and distributing books
Happy Letter of the day: "My husband started reading the Bhavagad Gita over two years ago. He was searching for God. He said he couldn't find the whole truth in the Christian religion. I was on the same search with him and we just couldn't really find God wherever we looked. We even joined one church in hopes that somehow that door was a "way in." After that hope died out, we faded from the religious path and almost came to a conclusion that God was whatever it was and one day after we died we would find out what it was...

Fall Down No, we are not talking about someone's falling from the path of devotion. We are speaking about the modus-operandi of one of the youngest book distributors in last December's marathon: Vanmali Prabhu, the son of Rajesh Dodeja Prabhu and Gita Mataji. He is seven years old, but the devotional mood he displays clearly points to wisdom beyond his years. His technique? Just grab a book, go to anyone nearby, fall down prostrated at the person's feet and beg that person to take the book. And if the person does take the book, do...

The Shoe-stall by Bhakta Bharat Balsawar One early morning during the December Marathon, in ISKCON Chowpatty, I came to the temple. I had a number of Hindi Bhagavad-gitas, which I wanted to exchange for Gujarati Gitas. The book storage room was open, but when I reached there, the devotees had piles of account books heaped on the table. "Sorry, Prabhuji," they told me, "we're taking care of the accounts now, so kindly come after the Srimad-Bhagavatam class." "OK," I said, and went to the shoe-stall, where I...

Our Humble Obeisances Jaya Srila Prabhupada One new mata in our congregation happened to tell something from her past. 12 years ago, when she was 14, she was basically against everything, especially against christianity and church. She used to wear this kind of ghost like white makeup on her face, with some bloodmarks coming from her mouth…hair was colored to neon-blue. Once on her town one christian frankly said to her "Girl, you are on your way to hell!" "Well…thanks…" It was the same day(or nearby),...

They are very fired up in their Krsna...

In western Australia we had been running low on books, so I went around to all the storage sheds and lockers around the temple and rounded up all the books and did an inventory to see how many books we had so that we'd know when to make a book order. I found lots of old Srimad Bhagavatams and Krishna books, so I have been going out with them. It's ecstatic. When Srila Prabhupada was on the planet, devotees used to distribute the Srimad Bhagavatams as they came out. Never has ISKCON made so many devotees and been as successful as when...
read moreComment from Dave to Kripamoya’s article
Dave January 23, 2008 For years I worked as a full time regular pioneer for the Jehovahs Witnesses (house to house ministry) one of the best and most successful groups in this type of preaching. One thing I note in ISKCON is the big pat on the back we give ourselves on book distribution (the book scores tell us so); however we are poor on follow up; this is the biggest failing. This is partly down to the fact that most books are distributed on the street with little regard for follow up, not even a leaflet carefully placed in the book with an...

A verse and purport for those 'difficult' times when trying to distribute books: "“This is the natural result of intense love of Godhead. The devotee does not consider personal inconveniences or impediments. In all circumstances he wants to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead. PURPORT It is natural for those who have developed intense love for Krsna not to care for personal inconvenience and impediments. Such devotees are simply determined to execute the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His...
