Sankirtan Goldmine
By Bhakta Corey A couple of temples that I have visited in the past year, I noticed one similar theme among the book distribution leaders and devotees. The theme was that they felt they were having a hard time finding places to do book distribution. In this regard, I would like to share some experiene I have had. You would never think of these spots, because they are right under our nose. We have had a lot of luck working in the...
Srila Prabhupada’s revolutionary plans
Your book distribution report is very encouraging. If I see our leaders are enthusiastic, that gives me more enthusiasm. Your suggestion to get new buses is good. I always recommended that. I don't like old vehicles. I think one hundred buses are not sufficient for America. You propose to induce the American people to surrender to Lord Caitanya by expansion of book distribution, that is wanted. When you come to that, that is...

There were three incidents that especially...
Sankirtana Stories from Finland

Last Nrsimha marathon our sankirtana-group was travelling in the Eastern parts of Finland. Since we wanted to have full concentration on the marathon we did not go to the temple for the weekend. On Monday I had to deposit the previous week's collections in bank. We ended up...
Chanting and book tables in the heart of the city
On Monday we were lucky to have Her Grace Radhika Krpa Mataji who was visiting Sydney from Delhi come out on book distribution with us. We were also lucky to get her two friends, along with two devotees from the temple to come with me and my husband. We set up a portable sound system, with two microphones, a nice rug, a harmonium, mrdanga and kartals, and we also set up a book table. We actually have got a regular buskers license from...
