The effect of chanting the names of Radha and Krishna is beyond material conception. We cannot describe it satisfactorily.
Krishna is so compassionate that if anyone calls His name even once, He destroys innumerable sinful reactions in their heart.
So kind is He that even if someone speaks his name accidentally, or even unwillingly, Krishna purifies them from millions of years of conditioning.
Srila Prabhupada: One must engage his tongue in the service of the holy name. Our Krishna consciousness movement is based on this principle. We try to engage all the members of the Krishna consciousness movement in the service of the holy name. (Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila, 8.16 Purport)
Trying to imbibe Srila Prabhupada’s instructions as life and soul, devotees of ISKCON KATHWADA – HARE KRISHNA GAUSHALA, took the opportunity of executing services of BOOK DISTRIBUTION and HARI NAAM SANKIRTAN simultaneously in these 10 days festival of ‘Navratri’. During this popular festival of Gujarat, the government announced holidays for 10 days and so, seeing less scope for college preaching and other services, we collectively thought to begin the marathon distribution of Srila Prabhupada’s transcendental books, and Street sankirtan with the sankirtan deities Sri Sri Gaura Nitai & Sri Sri Jagannath Baldev Subhadra.
By the grace Guru and Gauranga, in 10 blissful days of extensive sSnkirtan, we carried out Sankirtan in 3 locations with books distributed and donation collected as follows:
1,20,000 : 4 days : Modasa
29,000 : 2 days : Ahmedabad
68,000 : 4 days : Mahuva
Having total of 2,17,000 in 10 days.
NUMBER OF SRILA PRABHUPADA TRANSCENDENTAL BOOKS DISTRIBUTED : 1600 in 10 days.
With a desire to serve eternally,
Yours humble servant,
Kalanath Caitanya Das
(Vice President – ISKCON Kathwada)
