Satyanarayan Dasa (head of BBT Far East, Middle East):
What magnifies the importance of this special book distribution, especially in these Far Eastern and Middle Eastern languages, is what happens to these books after they are received. We are just seeing the beginnings of their long and remarkable journey here. These fortunate tourists and university students become emotionally moved by seeing and obtaining these literatures translated into their own beloved mother tongue. And because the books are also being offered to them by such sincere and caring book distributors., these two factors inspire them to take the books back home with them, to their home countries, and share them eagerly among their family and friends.
This is most significant, especially when dealing with the Arabic language and the Middle East. As we well know, each of these transcendental literatures (seeds) contain immense spiritual power. Through this exciting sankirtana method, where we can reach the tourists and students when they visit the West, the books wind up being spread widely across the Middle East and the Far East. Tens of thousands of books have been distributed like this, into difficult areas often impossible for us to personally travel to. And by Srila Prabhupada’s mercy, those numbers may increase into the 100,000’s soon.
Who knows what divine, inconceivable and globe-changing magic the Supreme Lord may soon create from all of these transcendental seeds, as they begin to sprout…
--------- 2017 is here! Let's start the year with a Sankirtan bang! Srila Prabhupada said print as many books in as many languages and distribute them throughout the world. It's a great pleasure to show you how amazing it is to distribute foreign books to receptive souls. I was fortunate enough to come across all the languages for the BBT Far East Middle East division. This includes - Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Farsi, & Korean! Most of these people are visiting from their home country, and will take the books back to their homeland. Let's pray they read the books. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! - Jaya Chaitanya Das.
