  Incorporation of ISKCON 
  Today marks the auspicious 50th anniversary of Srila Prabhupada’s incorporation of ISKCON New York, in 1966. To honor this special day we have re-posted a very nice article which appeared yesterday on the  Sampradaya Sun  entitled “ Incorporation of ISKCON” , we have posted the “Certificate on Incorporation”, as well as a very timely verse and purport from the Srimad Bhagavatam. Some of the purport follows… 
  …A devotee is equipoised. He sees everyone on the same transcendental platform. A devotee knows that although a conditioned soul has a particular type of body according to his past fruitive activities, factually everyone is part of the Supreme Lord. A devotee sees all living entities with spiritual vision and does not discriminate on the platform of the bodily concep...    less

  So I thought why not make Krishnaconnect a massive book distribution forum.
  My idea is that all the devotees who distribute books can share some statistics regarding
  
  1. The number of books they sold
  2. The name of the books they sold and number of each type sold
  3. The types of methods used to distribute books(eg. street sankirtan, door-to-door ........)
  
  These are some things which have to be stated. Optional stats that can be stated are:
  1. Where they distributed
  2. The total number of people they approached(approx)
  3. Any experiences and future plans to do better
  4. Any other point you feel worth mentioning
  
  Thus every book distributor can give the stats. All devotees should update their stats on the 15th and 30th of every month (i.e this exercise would be held every 15 days).
  
  Also, there would be some devotees who might have approached some people but have not been successful in distributing a single book. Even these who are try...    less

    Formal initiation is not so important. Actual initiation means accepting the orders of the bona fide spiritual master as your life and soul.
    
    So, to begin in Krishna Consciousness, first of all you will have to chant minimum 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra on japa beads, follow strictly the regulative principles (no meat eating, no illicit sex, no gambling, no intoxication) and read Srila Prabhupada's books at least 1-2 hours a day. Then, when you actually accept and follow the orders Srila Prabhupada gives you as you read his books, that is when you get initiated.

As I have been reading the Srimad Bhagavatam, I came across some information which dosn't make sense to me. In SB4.3.pdf [Canto 4, Ch. 22] Text 36 it says ..... " kingdom was constructed of golden buildings. In Brazil, in this present age, huge quantities of gold have been found, and from historical references in the Puranas, we can guess safely that this was Ravana's kingdom. This kingdom was, however, destroyed by Lord Ramacandra."

    Actually, Ravana was ruling Ceylon (present day Sri Lanka), but his brother, Mahiravana, was ruling present-day Brazil, "the other side of the globe", making Ravana's kingdom include both present day Sri Lanka and Brazil as well. These two places were connected by a large underground subway. This is the information we get from Ramayana, the authorized text for the pastimes of Lord Ramachandra - the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

  to see the sun, you will have to wait for the sun to appear in the
  morning. You cannot go outside with a big torch and say, "Come
  on, I will show you the sunlight." In the morning, when the sun
  rises of its own will, we can see it. Because our senses are im­
  perfect, we cannot see God by our own endeavor. We have to
  purify our senses and wait for the time when God will be pleased
  to reveal Himself to us. That is the process. We cannot challenge
  God. We cannot say, "0 my dear God, my dear Krishna. Please
  come. I want to see You." No, God is not our order supplier. He is
  not our servant. When He is pleased, we will see Him; therefore
  this Krishna consciousness is a process by which we can please God
  so that He will reveal Himself to us.[from The Path of Perfection]  less

  ----Maintaining the Routine Work----
  This routine work, such as chanting, speaking, rising early, cleaning, cooking and offering prasadam, arati, reading books–these activities are the backbone of our Society, and if we practice them nicely in a regulative manner, then our whole program will be successful. If we become slack or neglect these things, then everything else we may try will fail. So it is very important that you keep your standards very high in these activities, then your preaching will be strong. Preaching is our real business, preaching and distributing books. If your preaching work is strong, then your management of temple affairs will also become automatically very strong. Just like if the head wills it, the hand will move. Preaching is like the head of our KC Society–if the head is removed, the whole body dies. Managing is the hands, which work nicely if the head is healthy. If the hands are removed, the body will not die, but it will be crippled. So preaching is more imp...    less

There are devotees online here but why cannot we establish temples where people like me can come and get trained? Can someone answer this question? I feel it is about time since the iskcon disaster for temples(at least some) to be established by now for association of devotees. It is a very grave injustice for people like me who want association of devotees but do not get it. So there are left to associate with people who are non-devotees. What mess we are in.

Why someone else doesn't do it. Become a pure devotee of Krishna yourself and do it. We have the best devotee to associate with, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, his is living in his books, he is just waiting for us to associate with him. But we don't read his books? We need the association of pure devotees. There is no real benefit in associating with half-hearted devotees that just go to the temple for the Sunday feast and rest of the week are indistinguishable from materialistic karmis. So the point is Prabhupada is giving everything in his books. We need to read them and take advantage of his pure association. That is more beneficial than associating with billions of not so serious devotees hanging out in a temple. Only a pure devotee can create an association of pure devotees. So that is why ISKCON today can't do it. Every temple requires a pure devotee to lead it. So become a real actual pure devotee...    less

Of course everything, living or not, is parts and parcels of Lord Krishna. Therefore, everything is automatically related to Krishna. There are tons of references associating Krishna’s position with the worldly matters. A simple example is contained in BG Chapter 8, verse 7 which states, “tasmāt sarveṣu kāleṣu – mām anusmara yudhya ca – mayy arpita-mano-buddhir – mām evaiṣyasy asaṁśayaḥ.“ The meaning per Srila Prabhupad’s BG As It Is states, “Therefore, Arjuna, you should always think of Me in the form of Krishna and at the same time carry out your prescribed duty of fighting. With your activities dedicated to Me and your mind and intelligence fixed on Me, you will attain Me without doubt.” In essence Krishna strongly instructs us through Arjuna that we should always think of Him and carry out our duties. This very instruction alone disqualifies all activities inc...    less

Of course everything is related to Krishna. But Krishna has different energies. So we can associate with Krishna's internal, spiritual energy or we can associate with Krishna's external, material energy. If we associate with the spiritual energy we become purified, spiritualized, liberated; however if we associate with the mundane material energy we become materialistic, conditioned, condemned. So when we talk of Krishna then we are vibrating transcendental sound glorifying the Supreme Lord. That is spiritual. When we speak on mundane subject matter we are vibrating materialistic sound that conditions us and traps us more and more in materialistic consciousness. So please read Srila Prabhupada's books and try and understand at least the basic principles of spiritual life.  less
