The thought that counts: by Madhu Mangal das
Furthermore, if one engages not only in hearing but in trying to broadcast the message of devotional activities as well, or if he engages himself in helping the missionary activities of Krsna consciousness, he gradually feels spiritual progress.

Sankirtan Adventures in Toronto
Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga! It has been a while since I wrote about Sankirtan. That does not mean I didn't get to go out of Sankirtan, though I must admit I went out less than I wanted to. Serving at ISKCON Toronto, I am blessed with many opportunities and encouragements for Sankirtan, and it is actually hard not to go out on...

Dravida Prabhu is editing it. Along with all the wonderful stories and realizations of devotees, I want to have pictures of senior devotees distributing books. In the middle of the picture section I'd like to have one picture of as many book...
More Bold Preaching from Tulasi Devi Dasi
Hare krsna Prabhus, I stopped this religious professor who was on his way to India for a big religious conference. A meeting of religions. So I tried to get him to take a book, speaking of the importance of reading these books and the real purpose of going to India. But he kept saying "No, no room, too heavy, etc." So finally, (he was an elderly man) I said, "Look, you should take real advantage of this trip to India....
