ISV children distribute books
ISKCON Silicion Valley – We started with the Narasimha prayer and the prayers to Srila Prabhupada, to make us instruments to distribute his books. As we went door to door, little Balaram and Soumya knocked on the door of an apartment gym before we could stop them.

Increasing the book sales by selling a SB set to a returning customer
I recently received this email from a pious lady. “Namaste Ji, this is Sujatha Amarnath. We met at Atlanta’s Global Mall.

The Supersoul inspires the right kind of sacrifice
At De Anza College, a student who showed interest in a book gave me various reasons for being unable to give a donation. When I agreed to give her the book free, she took a few steps away, but then she turned back and said, “I lied to you, although I have money. I was not feeling good about not giving a donation for a spiritual book.” She pulled out her card and told me to swipe a certain amount for the donation. Another time,...
