Starting a Discusion
Dear devotees and Candrasekhar prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I liked your point about giving a very straight forward presentation of yourself as a representative of ISKCON when disributing Prabhupada's books. I did stickers and a few books nine years ago. I am indebted to the devotees who gave me the opportunities to do this service, but it was more or less explained to me that if I...
The Missing Link…The Follow Up and Character Cultivation
Over the years so many seeds have been planted in the form of Srila Prabhupada's books but unfortunately the follow up in the watering of these beginnings has not been a priority. Distribution is a perfect formula but minus the cultivation places a governor upon the full throttle potential of the sankirtan yajna.

On the other side answered one young man. I tried to explain to him the problem but he kept saying that this card is not offering me a live operator. I just wanted some advice from him about why the day before Ihad connected to America...
Bhagavad Gita will Suffice
There's no experience quite like distributing a Bhagavad gita. Bhagavad gita is unique because it directly emanates from the lotus mouth of Sri Krsna. It attracts all kinds of people. It is sufficient in itself for God realization. gita su gita kartavya kim anyaih sastra-vistaraih ya svayam padmanabhasya mukha-padmad vinihsrta "Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other...
Starting a Discussion
Dear book distributors, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to the ISKCON gurus. Starting with the premises that things can always be improved, that we, as book distributors, are (and should always be) receptive to ideas that could lead to better representation of ISKCON in the world, and that the amount of money we collect (for those who do ask for donations) is much less important than...
