Book’s for you
Book’s for me
It’s book marathon time, a time when we can show our appreciation and love for Srila Prabhupada, and anyone and everyone can be a part of it and there is many devotee’s who are willing to help if your unsure. It’s easy to get involved and more enjoyable than watching TV;
You can join one of the travelling parties for the day or a couple of days You can join one of the Saturday Sacred Street groups You can go from door to door if the streets appear too daunting But if this isn’t for you then here’s another few options: One devotee went and dropped off books in public places; doctors and hospital waiting rooms, hairdressers indeed they left a small note in each and amazingly they got several call’s asking if they had more.
Alternatively sponsor book’s if your shy or not quiet up to going on the front line then make sure that as many of Srila Prabhupada’s books are paid for; so that even more people can get gain this transcendental knowledge. And how easy is it? Well the other day I had a cancellation in work; most of the day was free; at the time I was in a well known supermarket looking out at the car park their was an opportunity free time, a few books in the boot and a lot of hungry shoppers.
Many were eager to get their hand’s on the books “This will be a great Christmas present for one of my friends!” A young enthusiastic chap proclaimed. I was down to my last one, then the store manager stopped me. We had a small discussion and I explained I only had one book left and how it would be wonderful if I finished the day with no books in the boot of my car. He was just about to ask me to leave when he caught sight of the book, “wow! I’ve been looking for a copy of this book” so I gave it as a gift for his kindness at letting me distribute the books in his car park. Book’s are not the temple devotee only calling, but everyone’s and Yes if you to are looking for that ultimate Christmas Gift you know what to give, the question is which one of Srila Prabhupada’s book’s will you give?
