New Book Release – February 2018
The book “Save our Cows, Save our Villages, Save our Culture” was recently printed by Varnasrama Book Trust (VBT) and immediately sent to Sri Mayapur for distribution. Authored by HG Vrindavan Lila d.d., the book gives an overview of IDVM-India’s Yatra Experience during the Golden Jubilee year of ISKCON in 2016.
During that commemorative year, the Ministry had taken a pledge to visit 108 villages holding a Go Puja followed by a Shoba Yatra throughout the village to attract more people to attend the evening pandal program.
Those fortunate souls who attended participated in Tulasi Puja, in Krishna Katha, and were shown a video describing the importance of traditional farming and cow care. As in all ISKCON programs the audience received Krishna prasadam at the end of the program.
The book should be of interest to all preachers and ISKCON leaders, especially to Temple Presidents as it thoroughly explains how village outreach programs should be conducted and how they are the most essential for ISKCON as desired by our Founder-Acarya Srila Prabhupada.
Most of the Ministry personnel participated in the various functions and got the opportunity to present the sciences of both material and spiritual sva-dharma to those attending.
