More about the Harinama Outfit
Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I seem to have caused some confusion with my first request for the Maha Mantra in the different languages of the world. I should have said I don't need it in Roman letters because we can write those ourselves.
For devotees interested in staging dramas, we have soundtracks on CD in MP3 format of the following:
To stage these, all you require are a good PA system, the costumes, and actors who can lip synch.

In cooperation with the BBT and under its patronage, we have started a Sastra-dana project, The Polish Gita Library Fund to collect donations for printing 10,000 copies of Bhagavad Gita and distribute them free to all the public libraries in Poland.
Every five dollars of your donation will allow one copy of Bhagavad Gita to be placed in one public library, with the effect (statistically) that from two to twenty persons every year will borrow and read Bhagavad Gita and thus have their first contact with Sri Krishna's message to the fallen souls of Kali-yuga.

New Mailing List for
Bhaktivedanta Swami
Charity Trust
By Bhaktajana Priya Das
Posted June 30, 2004
One day in the month of November in 1977, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada suddenly began to shed tears, lamenting about the dilapidated condition of many of the temples founded by the followers of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. At this time, he expressed his desire that a trust be established for the purpose of renovating these ancient holy places.
Accordingly, on November 5, 1977, the Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust (BVSCT) was officially formed to renovate and develop the old temples of the followers of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as well as to reunite the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya, especially the disciplic descendants of His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada.
This is a follow-up article to one that was submitted in late April. We are in the very beginning stages of planning. All positive input is welcome. Our forum is apolitical.
In 1965, Srila Prabhupada left Vrndavan to come to America, where he brought the key and opened the door to Gaudiya Vaisnavism for the entire world.
That door opened by Srila Prabhupada has resulted in many Gaudiya Vaisnavas who are currently preaching throughout the world and many new devotees being made. Indeed this is a very wonderful thing. At the same time the following must be considered: Many of the first devotees to come to Krsna consciousness are getting older and due to various circumstances, for many of these older-bodied devotees, especially ladies, there are no Gaudiya Vaisnava ashrams or communities that will accommodate them.
