Big promo tie-in with Janmastami this year - opportunity knocks
Dear Prabhus,
PAMHO AGTSP
Just as the court case in Tomsk promoted Srila Prabhupada's edition of the Bhagavad-gita light-years beyond the means of our Iskcon society, so does the premiere of a 3-D (glasses) animated feature film from Reliance. The producer, Ashish Kukarne, is responsible for the uber-successful "Little Krishna" television series. It caught on big-time in Indonesia, Turkey, Brasil, and many other countries. Krishna is popular amongst young children well beyond the Indian disapora.
We are presented with an unprecedented opportunity to promote Krishna consciousness and distribute the incomparable "Krishna Book."
Posters at all Iskcon centers tying in the movie with the book will enhance sales.

The BBT/Iskcon has not seen an opportunity like this to distribute Srila Prabhupada's Krishna Book since it was mass distributed in 1971. Prabhupada wrote it just in case he was not able to translate and comment on the 10th Canto. Good thing he did since he was not able to finish the 10th canto. The Krishna Book is written from Srila Prabhupada's ecstasies. It vibrates with spiritual pleasure. It weaves story and philosophy seamlessly. The book made tons of devotees who didn't even know what was the Bhagavad-gita. It is a touchstone.
Use the artwork attached for now to publicize through your newsletters and make posters for the temple. Do it now so that there will be plenty of time to repeat the annoucements and generate anticipation for the release. It is opening all over the world one week prior to Janmastami.
I will forward more information as I receive it.
Just the beginning of Krishna conscious films in the theaters. Please bless the endeavors of myself, Yadubara p., and Janardradhi p. in our ambitious "Uplifting Cinema Project" designed to produce numerous Krishna conscious feature films. (For more information on how you can invest in this endeavor, please contact me at nrs@itvproductions.net for a full business plan and Powerpoint.)
Your Servent,
