In 2021 our ministry began a food-relief project in northern Bangladesh. Since then we have fed 1,000's of people while also bringing clothing, blankets, and expanded educational resources into some of the poorest villages. Our mission is simple: bring nutritious vegetarian meals and Bhagavad Gita As It Is classes to those overlooked by other charities. Kindly help us to increase our services. Every donation helps.
Thank you very much.
The process of devotion is nine different types. Śravaṇam. Śravaṇam means hearing. Kīrtanam. Kīrtanam means chanting. Kīrtanam actually means describing. You can describe with music. You can describe with words. You can describe in speeches. Any sort of describing, that is called kīrtana. And śravaṇam. Unless you hear, you cannot describe... From HDG Srila Prabhupada's lecture
If you hear from authoritative sources, then you become perfect, simply by hearing. Therefore the first principle, hearing, is recommended, śravaṇam.
Srila Prabhupada also said: They must give literature. Naturally, they'll give. That is the nature of devotee. Because without literature, how can we enlighten the people at large? My Guru Mahārāja used to say that this press is bṛhad-mṛdaṅga.
We are opening schools and distributing the literature. You can help with your generous donations. Distribute Srila Prabhupada's books:
BOOKS ARE THE BASIS
“There is no literature throughout the universe like Srimad Bhagavatam. There is no comparison. There is no Competition. Every word is for the good of human society. Somehow or other, if a book goes in someone’s hand, he will be benefited… Therefore we are stressing so much, ‘Please distribute books, distribute books, distribute books'”
– Srila Prabhupada.
The Krishna consciousness movement vigorously approves this practice of preparing food, offering it to the Deity, and distributing it to the general population. This activity should be extended universally to stop sinful eating habits as well as other behavior befitting only demons. A demoniac civilization will never bring peace to the world… . When the people take to eating only prasadam offered to the Deity, all the demons will be turned into Vaishnavas… It is then and then only that a peaceful condition can prevail in society.
When Krishna asks us to make such an offering, He is really inviting us to reawaken our eternal, blissful relationship with Him. He wants our love. And so the key ingredient in the preparation and offering process is our affection for Him, our desire to please Him.
O Lord, this material body is a lump of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths leading to death. Somehow or other we have fallen into the ocean of material sense enjoyment, and of all the senses the tongue is the most voracious and uncontrollable. It is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world. But You, dear Lord Krishna, are very kind to us. You have given us this nice prasadam just to control the tongue. So now let us take this prasadam to our full satisfaction and glorify Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha and Krishna, and in love call for the help of Lord Chaitanya and Prabhu Nityananda.”
