ISKCON B’s great endeavor to put out one lakh Gitas fell short.
They distributed 65,000 Gitas during December. That is still
a tremendous figure. Their buses are out again now to get up
towards the one lakh mark. They deserve all congratulations for
this great work. And we should go on also doing whatever we
can. You wish to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books forever is
simply wonderful. Pray for Prabhupada’s blessings and he will
surely heap them on you.

About this book, “A Beginner’s Guide to Krsna Consciousness.”
Subjects include: How to set up altar at home, how to use a japa-
mala, how to put on tilak, the importance of Srila Prabhupada,
the difference between Krsna consciousness and general
Hinduism, etc., etc.
There is definitely a need for this book. Many people want to
learn the practical techniques of Krsna consciousness, but lack
guidance. I made such a book a few years ago in Bangladesh, and
it became the top seller.
One thing is that I have to finance the printing of this book
myself. BBt will distribute it, but I will have to put up the capital
for paper and printing. I plan to print about 10,000 copies
(depending on how much funds I raise) which would cost about
Rs 60,000. So I have been writing to devotees I know who have
helped me in the past.
If you could also make some financial contribution, to help me
in this service to Srila Prabhupada, I would of course be most
grateful.

Yes, Krsna has been kind to you by giving you the association
of devotees. Krsna is very merciful and is always heedful to the
prayers of His devotees. According to our sincerity, Krsna will
gradually reveal everything about Himself to us.
