Prabhupada in the Paper

Filed under: Bhakti yoga — carana renu dasi at 11:56 am on Sunday, March 15, 2009

Recently our Srila Prabhupada murti made an appearance in the local newspaper, along with his Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, my husband, and even our Gaura Nitai deities in the background:

The article was short but sweet and the reporter got almost everything right, including key terms like Krishna, Hare Krishna, ISKCON, Vrindavana, and Mayapura. It was part of a larger section about India.

Brazilians are crazy about India these days, partly because one of the big Brazilian TV channels has a very popular new soap opera that is set in India. Due to this we are seeing an increased interest in Krishna consciousness here. People come to Krishna for a variety of reasons and we are happy to receive them all.

Congrats on the favorable press. I’d love to visit Brazil and see what you’re up to there. Sounds like you’re well-positioned to give a lot of people some Krishna consciousness whenever they’re ready to come and get it.

Mind if I link to you on my blog? I might even have done it already.

Thanks Tulasi-priya! Yes, please come visit us in Brazil.

I would be glad if you would link to my blog. I will get round to adding some links in my much neglected blog someday soon, including a link to your blog.

What a great opportunity to flood the country with Krishna Consciousness propaganda. Maybe it’s time to revive the BTG Magazine and make it popular with articles that will address the public’s interest.

Thanks for your service in making KC available to the people of Brazil.

In gratitude,
