I am very inspired by the response to last weeks email. Everyone is encouraging me to start the "Krishna Connect" newsletter next year,
so I will try to do it. First issue will be in January. Thank you for
all the comments on this. Also there is so much excitement about the
PrabhupadaBooks.com website so if you have not yet visited it please check it out.
Lots of people got cases of Srila Prabhupada's books to distribute
over the past week But I have realized a full case of books may be
too much for some to distribute.
As this period of time leading up to Christmas has always been the "Prabhupada Book Distribution Marathon" I am just thinking now how we can together distribute some books for Prabhupada.
"I have received your description of the books sold during three-day Christmas period, and I am very much pleased upon all of the nice boys and girls who have helped me in this way. I could never have thought it was possible to distribute so many of our literatures. Therefore I can understand it is simply Krsna's blessing us for your sincerely working on His behalf. Actually, that is the reason for my success, not that personally I have done anything wonderful, but that because those who are helping me are sincere, they have done the work, that is the reason for our success all over the world where others have failed. A little sincerity is very difficult thing in this age of hypocrisy and bluff, but I am so fortunate that Krsna has sent me all of you nice boys and girls who are sincerely working. Please convey to all of them my deepest appreciation." (www.PrabhupadaBooks.com)
If we all do something, even small, together it will be significiant. So I am
hoping you can assist in this years "Prabhupada Book Distribution
Marathon." Even if you just distribute 10 books that will be wonderful.
If you can distribute more that is great.
With this in mind I have a new system at www.KrishnaStore.com. Even if you only want 3 copies of a book you will benefit,
there is a greater benefit when you get 5 or more and the
maximum benefit is available for 10 or more books of the
same title.
To give you some idea how this works Srila Prabhupada's
original 1972 Bhagavad-gita As It Is is normally $14.95.
If you get 3-4 it is $9.95, for 5-9 it is only $7.95 and for more
than 10 copies it is only $6.95 each. You no longer have to get a
whole case of books to get distributor benefits.
This arrangement is available on the following books:
Please try to get into the spirit of the Prabhupada Christmas Book Distribution Marathon and distribute whatever you can for Prabhupada.
"Yes, try to encourage book distribution as much as possible. Books are the basis of our Movement. Whatever appreciation we are getting on account of our books, it is because we are following the path chalked out by exalted devotees. We are not writing something whimsical." (www.PrabhupadaBooks.com)
Whatever little profit there is from your book purchases will go
straight into reprinting Srila Prabhupada's original books.
When you distribute Prabhupada's books to your friends and family
and whoever you meet and you will see the wonderful power of Krishna
transform people's lives. Our lives will become transformed also.
The more we surrender to serving Srila Prabhupada and Krishna the
more all the contaminations will be washed away from our hearts.
By the power of this devotional service gradually we will be able to
see Krishna face to face.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
Your servant,
Madhudvisa dasa
P.S: Getting the books by the case is still the best, most inexpensive
way to acquire Prabhupada's books.
(Cases of Books)
P.P.S: I have put my own order in for 10 cases of books which I will
start distributing to the people on the streets. So I am trying to "practice
what I preach".
