Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 Dear Mukhya, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Raktambara Prabhu has suggested that we ask you to post the following on PAMHO's Free Forum. Thanks very much for letting me know if this is possible and when it may be able to be done. We appreciate your help for Hare Krishna World. Please allow us to serve you, somehow, too. Haribol! YS, Kunti d.d. ***** Hare Krishna World Bulletin ***** The latest edition of HKW, at the printer today, features exciting news about the Hare Krishna movement, including: * A millennial interfaith event at the Vatican. * How to be Krishna conscious at work. * The first Ratha-yatra in Sri Lanka -- with adherents of different faiths. * What ISKCON schools are doing to give children a well-rounded educational experience. * A review of an amazing interactive CD ROM of "Srimad-Bhagavatam," as well as a new book about Bhaktivinoda Thakur and lots of new music. * An overview of India's cultural legacy as evidenced in civilizations around the world. This new issue will be on the web in two weeks (hkw.iskcon.net), but most people still like to receive HKW in the mail, or send it to a friend as a gift. We now use a new international mailing company for much more efficient delivery to readers outside the US. Please see the convenient form below for subscriptions and bulk orders. Our commitment to continue producing the only international newspaper of the Hare Krishna movement draws strength from Srila Prabhupada's instructions. Mukunda Goswami (founder of ISKCON Communications): "In 1970 Srila Prabhupada asked his followers to print a daily newspaper -- half Hare Krishna events, and the other half news of the world, laced with ISKCON analysis and commentary." Far from being a daily, HKW has been publishing fewer issues in recent years. That hasn't stopped us from making improvements, however. Readers have been praising the paper's switch to full color and innovative design. Over 100 correspondents around the world give us a unique view of our movement's development. Plus, where else can advertisers reach our far flung devotee audience? Not many places. The challenge to boost Hare Krishna World's publication schedule is similar to challenges many projects face these days. For this international news publishing office, capital funding and the need for increased usage especially cries out for attention. The one piece of advice we have received from all our advisors is to expand circulation. Our goal is to mail HKW to 20,000 more people this year, but we need help to achieve this. It costs roughly $1.40 to print and mail each person a copy. That means we need $28,000 to reach our goal. I know it sounds like a lot, but with your help we can do it. More than ever, temples need help in connecting with their congregations. By helping us deliver HKW to their members, you can do your part to strengthen our movement, keeping people informed and enthused to serve Krishna. You can make a big difference. We humbly ask you to please give HKW a regular tax-deductible donation to sponsor as many readers as you like in the community of your choice. The servants of HKW look forward to a brighter future with your participation. As partners, we can continue to provide regularly published news, information, and spiritual resources for devotees and friends around the world. Thank you very much. Jaya Gauranga! Your servant, Sarva-satya dasa Managing Editor P.S. After returning the form below, please take a moment to forward this message to someone who might be interested in receiving HKW.
