Letter by Manidhara Prabhu

Dear Devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Before the marathon, I asked His Grace Manidhara Prabhu about wearing Tilak during book distribution. He gave me permission to post his reply, which is as follows: Question: Did you wear Tilak when you did book distribution with Rohinisuta Prabhu in the seventies? I am asking because several times Srila Prabhupada states that the devotees may wear...

Hare Krsna

Dear Vaisesika prabhu & Sarvatma prabhu, I read both your comments and thought they were good points. But, as both of you have distributed books with tilak and sikha showing and not showing I also have, and personally I can say my consciousness was much better with tilak and Sikha showing. I even have found that I distriute more books with tilak. This last summer I was distributing in Boston, all the seasoned book distributers...

Post Marathon talk by His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami

Post marathon talk, Johannesburg, February 2, 2003: In Vrindavan in 1977, when Srila Prabhupada was enacting his final pastimes, he appeared very sick.

Book Distribution Nectar from Chowpatty

NECTAR – 1   Bhakta Prabhajan, part of H.H. Lokanath Maharaj’s Padayatra, told this once-in-a-lifetime experience:   We were already attracting attention by our dress, bulls, and cart, and suddenly our Padayatra party, thanks to a crazy man, was a sensation in a small town near Allahabad.   Padayatra takes six years to complete one round trip of the country, and so we couldn’t recall having met this...

Something to learn from

Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada. I just received some good news from Hrdaya Caitanya Prabhu about Bhakta Steve. He is now conscious and the doctors said he'll be out of intensive-care soon. I think there is something that we can all learn from this incident with Bhakta Steve. This material world as we all know is a dangerous place, therefore we should be more cautious when were out...
