Chant and be Happy, then give it to others
While at the Los Angeles Ratha Yatra recently a devotee came to the table where I was distributing books. His name is Kridayananda dasa from Brazil. As we were talking he mentioned that he joined when he was 12 years old. Generally when we hear this we think his parents are devotees. Nope, not this devotee. He read, “Chant and be Happy.” After reading it he thought, “This is what I want, I want to be a...
ARABIC/FARSI OUTREACH OPPORTUNITY
Dear devotees and friends of ISKCON, Hare Krishna. My name is Dvijamani Gaura dasa. I am a brahmachari in ISKCON, currently based in Lithuania. For the past several years, I have felt a growing desire to help expand Krishna consciousness among Arabic- and Farsi-speaking people living throughout Europe. Millions of people from these language communities now live across the continent, yet very few devotees are regularly reaching them....
FULL-CIRCLE SANKIRTANA

Today in Watford (near Bhaktivedanta Manor), I met Hamza (holding the Bhagavad Gita in the attached photo) and Zayn, both of Pakistani descent, who follow Islam. We had a deep and heartfelt conversation about faith and purpose. I shared that today is Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance anniversary, a sacred occasion when we honour the extraordinary soul who translated the Bhagavad Gita and many other books, and at the age of 69,...
On the front lines we experience the Mystical Magic of Krsna
Last year on the end of year marathon, I was with Gokul-lila and it was raining heavily and we were struggling to find a place to distribute books. We happened to drive past a Yogijis Indian Food shop and thought to stop and try to distribute a few Bhagavad gitas with the hope of meeting some nice Indians at least, because it was Gita-jayanti. We felt quite stuck with the rain and were just standing outside this shop, when Gokul-lila...
