The Marathon
Dear Prabhu's, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Happy are the Sankirtan devotees to whom such Prabhupada Marathon's come unsought, opening for them the doors to the spiritual world. Arjuna didn't want to fight in the Battle of Kuruksetra, but Krsna knew what was best for him and the rest of society and thus He instructed him on the art of surrender. Distributing transcendental knowledge is another way to surrender to Krsna and as we surrender more and more we'll find that this is the joy of...

Dear Prabhus! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Here in Ljubljana we are preparing for the Prabhupada Marathon in December. With our travelling group we went in Germany and attended a one week sankirtan seminar. It was held by Mangal Maya Prabhu, an old SK hero. His association was a great inspiration and for new devotees to distribute on the streets in Germany was also a great adventure. We had also heard through the transendental grapevine that his wife is one of the best cooks in Europe, it's...

Retire in Vrindavan? Do you realize that Vrindavan's preaching zone is the most populated area in the world, and we have just a handful of dedicated book distributors to slightly scratch the surface here! There are so many thousands of pilgrims visiting Vrindavan that no book distributor could possibly dream of retiring here. Not only that, our zone of U.P., M.P., and Rajasthan is practically starving for preachers and book distributors to travel to all of the cities. Come to Vrindavan and you can be distributing books until your last...

by Tattvavit Das Jyoti Prabhu, a French devotee who now preaches in Brussels, used to play tournament chess. He quit playing after he became a devotee because he would become so absorbed in the game that he forgot about his devotional schedule and would arrive late for his services. He does book distrubtion sometimes, and once he was distributing at a man's house, where he saw a chess set. The man was reluctant to buy books, so Jyoti challenged to a chess game: "If I win, you buy the books." They played, Jyoti won, and the man...
