What he found was that most of them didn\u2019t have many monks either \u2013their book distribution was done by congregational members. And very successfully, too. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they can do it, why can\u2019t we?\u201d Mahat Tattva asked. ISKCON certainly had enough householders and congregational members who wished they could distribute Prabhupada\u2019s books, but did not have the time to do it the classic way due to their busy schedules.<\/p>\n<p>Mahat Tattva had an idea that would allow them to distribute books with minimal time and effort. In 1999, he founded Sastra Dana at the ISKCON temple in Los Angeles. Literally translated as \u201cThe gift of scripture,\u201d the premise of Sastra Dana was simple: Devotees would purchase sponsored BBT books, and make them available to the public for free. <\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/friendsofthebbt.org\/free-ticket-home\">Read rest of story here >><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#007fa5\">\n<td bgcolor=\"#007fa5\" colspan=\"2\">\n<h3><span class=\"style16\">News in Brief <\/span><a name=\"editor\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\n<p class=\"single\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"186\" alt=\"Rescuing Sita\" hspace=\"5\" src=\"http:\/\/friendsofthebbt.org\/newsletter\/images\/Rescuing Sita cover.jpg\" width=\"135\" align=\"left\" longdesc=\"http:\/\/friendsofthebbt.org\/newsletter\/images\/Rescuing Sita cover.jpg\"\/> \n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style15\">New Lord Rama Title for BBT India <\/h3>\n<p class=\"single\">The BBT at Juhu Beach has printed a new title: <em>Rescuing Sita, the Wife of Lord Rama<\/em> –with never-before-published artwork of Rama’s pastimes, originally commissioned for the Glory of India Museum in New Delhi.<\/p>\n<p> The books consists of the two chapters about Lord Ramachandra’s pastimes from the Ninth Canto of <em>Srimad<br \/>\n Bhagavatam<\/em> and is 150 pages long.<\/p>\n<p> The book is for mass distribution outside Asia, especially in the West, where people are not well acquainted with the history of Lord Ramachandra, though it will also be distributed in India and Asia.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"style15\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/friendsofthebbt.org\/newsletter\/images\/sanskritlogo.jpg\" alt=\"Sanskrit School Logo\" width=\"121\" height=\"127\"\/><span class=\"single\">Mayapura Study Retreat <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"single\">How would you like to study the <em>Bhagavad-gita<\/em> under learnedteachers in one of the holiest places on Earth, Sridham Mayapura? <\/p>\n<p> Well go ahead and book your tickets.

The trilogy follows the gripping spiritual journey of Gopa-Kumara as he tries to develop his relationship with Krishna. Originally written by Sanatana Goswami, this inspiring story of devotion has been translated and commented on by longtime Sanskrit scholar Gopiparanadhana Dasa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"single\">Production began in early 2006, when Kesava Bharati Dasa Goswami auditioned for narrator and secured the role. This will be good news for the many devotees who enjoyed his absorbing readings from the book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"single\">The audio book will appear on three MP3 CDs, and is expected by summer 2008.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#007fa5\">\n<td bgcolor=\"#c06e22\" colspan=\"2\">\n<h3><span class=\"style16\">People Profile <\/span><a name=\"news\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\n<h3 class=\"style15\">\nNo Excuses: <br \/>\nRadhanatha Dasa<\/h3>\n<p>When Radhanatha Dasa joined ISKCON in 1975, it was with the same simplicity and clarity that keeps him going today, no matter what the world throws at him. While working for his father\u2019s steel company in Pennsylvania, he bought Srila Prabhupada\u2019s <em>The Perfection of Yoga<\/em>, and immediately went to stay the night at the temple advertised on the inside cover. And when a devotee showed him a picture of Krishna with a cow, something inexplicable immediately welled up inside him. \u201cThis is God!\u201d he decided, excitedly. <\/p>\n<p>Quitting his job to travel with the Radha Damodar Sankirtana Party, he sold Prabhupada\u2019s books simply because he liked selling things. But four years later, he had acquired a deep understanding for the philosophy, and his book distribution service was cemented for life. <\/p>\n<p>It was this philosophical understanding that would help Radhanatha when his strength, resolve, and the very foundations of his faith were tested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day, as usual, I was doing sankirtana,\u201d he says. \u201cAs I was thinking how much I loved being part of the Hare Krishna movement and never wanted to leave, extreme pain suddenly shot up my legs, and I had to sit down. I couldn\u2019t move for two days after that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Radhanatha was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a rare and extreme rheumatic condition that calcifies the joints until movement is extremely difficult. <\/p>\n<p>Undaunted, he continued to distribute books, using a cane.<br \/>\nBut a few years later, in 1999, a life-threatening operation to replace his hips and knees went wrong, and Radha-<br \/>\nnatha\u2019s legs became infected. To save him, they had to be amputated.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/friendsofthebbt.org\/no-excuse-radhanatha\">Read rest of story here >> <\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#c06e22\">\n<td class=\"style16\" bgcolor=\"#007fa5\" colspan=\"2\">\n<h3 class=\"style16\">Distribution Story of the Month<a name=\"story\"><\/a> <\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" height=\"450\">\n<h3><span class=\"style15\"><strong class=\"style26\"><em><strong><\/strong><strong><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"106\" alt=\"Vijaya Dasa\" hspace=\"5\" src=\"http:\/\/friendsofthebbt.org\/newsletter\/images\/vijay-das.jpg\" width=\"139\" align=\"left\"\/><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><strong><br \/>\nLooking Death in the Eye<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"style26\">by Vijaya Dasa <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"single\">I was distributing books in Greece on a street full of restaurants. People sat at tables all the way down thesidewalk, talking and laughing.<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of the merriment, I noticed a Romanian woman watching the scene with a disturbed look on her face. I walked over to her and asked her what was up. She told me that the old man she had been nursing for the last three months had just died an hour earlier, while looking her right in the eyes. <\/p>\n<p>She had looked death in the eye, and now all she could see was everyone trying to enjoy despite being surrounded by so much suffering. I explained the soul and reincarnation to her, and told her how material enjoyment is useless in comparison with spiritual happiness. Gratefully, she bought a book from me.<\/p>\n<p>I was grateful too. For a brief moment, I had seen the temporariness of this phantasmagorical world through the eyes of another soul.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" color=\"#666666\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendsofthebbt.org\/node\/225\">Visit our website for more stories like this >><\/a><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"178\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table style=\"border-right: #f88727 1px solid; border-top: #f88727 1px solid; border-left: #f88727 1px solid; border-bottom: #f88727 1px solid;\" cellpadding=\"5\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#5292a5\">\n<td valign=\"top\" bordercolor=\"#ff9900\" bgcolor=\"#5292a5\">\n<h4 class=\"style16\">SRILA PRABHUPADA SPEAKS ABOUT BBT<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bordercolor=\"#ff9900\">\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p><strong>\u201cBook Distribution is the Most Important Task\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This, our book distribution is the most important task in our society.
