Tilak and Book Distribution
Dear devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to book distribution, which “is the essence of ISKCON” (letter by Srila Prabhupada to Tamal Krsna Goswami.) I wrote the following paper after the December marathon which I did in the LA airport. I showed it to my spiritual master, His Holiness Bhakti Caru Swami, and he wrote the following note about it: To all my disciples and...
From Islam to Krsna
Recently, I heard the following tale of how a follower of Islam became a devotee. He was a member of the PLO and an associate of Arafat. But he gave up his involvement in the PLO because of some things he disagreed with. He went to Germany to study at a university. One night he got drunk at a bar. Just to his right, on the table in front of him, was a magazine that someone had left: Back to Godhead. He was so drunk that he...

After moving to Vrndavan 4 or 5 years ago, he got the inspiration...
Make Hare Krishna Land Juhu into a BUS STOP!
Even after Prabhupada got the permit to build the residences for the devotees [in Juhu, Mumbai], he still had to get permission to build the temple. And the government seemed determined not to give it. Sometimes, when things looked really bad, Srila Prabhupada almost appeared to become hopeless. But even when he seemed hopeless, he would always see the positive side. One day he said, “Even if we don’t get permission and...
The Magic Formula to change the world
Srila Prabhupada's book distribution is a long-range program to bring all conditioned souls Back to Godhead. It also has short-term goals, namely, to distribute more books so that we can produce more books in other languages as well. The more book distribution goes on, the more people will understand Krishna. If only one percent of the people we give books to become Krishna conscious, that is a lot of people.
