International Pure Bhakti Yoga Society Prison Program
For some time there had been talk of preaching in prisons
Tick tock, tick tock……
Time passes by
What is it meant for but self-realization?
This is our sole desire for the Prison Book Sponsorship Program.
Prison is meant for Reformation
Yet, without spiritual knowledge, reformation will be temporary or illusory
Reforming the soul through reading enlightening words from ancient scriptures causes a pure transformation of the body, mind and soul.
Therefore, we appeal to you to help this cause.
Letters are coming in from inmates requesting literature on spirituality, yoga, devotion and Krsna consciousness.
Please donate graciously so we can send innumerable books to thousands of inmates worldwide.
TV INTERVIEW WITH DHARMA MOMENTS
Last January, Srila Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, the founder/acarya of the International Pure Bhakti-yoga Society, was in South Africa and he was interviewed by Charles Pillay for a television show called Dharma Moments. Charles’ questions and Srila Maharaja’s answers were so pertinent to the situation of the world today and relevant to this new Prison Program. Below is an excerpt of that interview:
REPORT WRITTEN BY AKHILESH DASA IN INDIA
For some time there had been talk of preaching in prisons. In Delhi there is a world famous prison called 'Tihar Jail,' a stones throw away from our temple! Syamarani didi was very supportive and encouraging of me (Akhilesh das) beginning this project.
How You can Participate:
We need devotees who would be interested in becoming a penpal to an inmate, or more than one if you like. That service would entail writing letters, sharing the philosophy, sending books, printed-out lectures, prasadam if possible, and just being a Krsna conscious friend.
