Guest guest Posted March 24, 1998 Report Share Posted March 24, 1998 Dear prabhu's. We started a new conference on ISKCON PRISON MINISTRY to help and encourage to preach Krishna Consciousness to the prison inmates all over the world. This ministry started about 10 years ago by HG Chandrasekhara dasa, presently living in Denver, USA.If you are interested to know more about ISKCON PRISON MINISTRY, you are most welcome to write us. ISKCON PRISON MINISTRY In 1962 Srila Prabhupada would regularly travel from Vrindavan to New Delhi to produce his Srimad Bhagavatam volumes and on thursday evening, he would visit the New Delhi jail and teach the inmates about Krishna Consciousness. So it was His Divine Grace who initiated this preaching to incarcerated souls and the preaching continues today all over the world- in New Zealand, Trinidad, Russia, United States and beyond. Our primary focus is to allow prisoners access to transcendental knowledge and to guide them in the science of self realization. In addition, We put on programs in prisons wherever possible. One inmate recently wrote" I am serving a life sentence and I am trying to come to grips with myself and god. I don't know your policy but would like to ask you if you are able to send a Bhagavad gita or any book on self realization, meditation, karma, reincarnation and especially Krishna books. I would share these books with other inmates". (Charles phillips Mccormick, SC) The ISKCON PRISON MINISTRY (IPM) preaching team is made up of hard working householders and we have no donors. We desperately need books for inmates and postage. We hope Lord Krishna inspires you to help us. May Lord Krishna bless you. your servant Chandrasekhara Dasa IPM, Director.
