We also humbly request your support in circulating this message (attached) widely to the devotees within your respective communities and encourage them to participate in this effort wholeheartedly.

We have increased the resources available on our website (visit https://iskconeducation.org/books-are-the-basis/)
and already have 8 different online sessions in different languages.

Grateful for your kind attention and help in this effort.

Your servant,

Ministry Of Education, ISKCON 

During this difficult period of social seclusion, devotees seeking to maintain association with our beloved Lord Sri K???a and the teachings of our Guru-parampara, have begun reading Srila Prabhupada’s Bhaktivedanta purports through online groups dedicated to the study of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
 
To facilitate and encourage many more to take shelter of Srila Prabhupada’s words, the ISKCON Ministry of Education has begun an initiative aimed at making it easier to start and maintain online reading groups through the provision of useful resources. The project’s vision and mission being:
 
Vision: Srimad-Bhagavatam Books are the most widely read spiritual books in the world.
 
Mission: Significantly increase the regular reading of Srila Prabhupada books amongst ISKCON devotees. (If you like to know more about this initiative then scroll down.)
 
What do we offer?

  1. Several resources on https://iskconeducation.org/books-are-the-basis/ for you to utilise to inspire and establish online reading clubs. Contact us at viplavah.iskcon@gmail.com if you need passwords to join any of the existing zoom reading clubs or need general assistance with establishing your own reading club.

  • All leaders are requested to read more every day and to inspire their community
    • to participate in online reading groups of Srila Prabhupada books
    • to establish new readings groups so that everyone can get the opportunity to participate

There is no doubt that Srila Prabhupada’s books are the world’s saving grace especially at this time of crisis. Thousands have already taken shelter of them and seen their lives transformed positively. You can hear their realisations by visiting https://iskconeducation.org/books-are-the-basis/#Realizations
