Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Dear Ganga Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP! Please would you print and post the below at your temple, and ask the temple presidents for temples in your area to do the same. Perhaps you could make an announcement about it, or delegate to the devotee in charge of sankirtana and book distribution. The below is a new avenue that the BBT has been pursuing, giving housewives, house husbands, or anyone tied down by a fulltime job who dreams of being a Sankirtana devotee the opportunity to do so. Your servant, Manu dasa c/o BBT Krishna.com --------- PLEASE POST ON YOUR TEMPLE BULLETIN BOARD: --------- Preach And Distribute Books From Home via Krishna.com Live Help BBT Krishna.com, the website all about Krishna by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, is offering service opportunities to aspiring Sankirtana devotees who would like to preach on the Internet, from anywhere in the world. You can do so in your spare time, in the background while you tend to other work, as often or as little as you like, whenever you feel inspired, at any time of day or night. All you need is an Internet connection, a computer with speakers, and basic typing skills. Live Help volunteers spend an average of 15 minutes a day answering questions about Krishna (and more as you like.) Some 1200 people a day visit BBT Krishna.com. Of those, about 100 ask questions on the Live Help messaging system. They range from simple questions about Krishna consciousness to more complex philosophical issues. That's 100 potential new devotees a day that need your help reconnecting with Krishna. How Live Help works: Leave your computer running in the background, connected to the Internet. When a live help message is routed your way, you'll hear a chime resembling a door bell. The Live Help question will pop up on your screen, and you can choose to reply or press "busy." If you do nothing, after 20 seconds the message is routed to the next available volunteer, or to the e-mail message center (staffed by a dedicated e-mail volunteer.) In the meantime you can do other work on your computer and have the Live Help application running in the background. You can work around the house or office, just leave your speaker volume turned up to hear the chime when a Live Help message arrives. And when you're busy, or if you don't like the question, simply click on "busy" or do nothing and the message will be re-routed. You'll have the opportunity to encourage serious seekers to buy and read Srila Prabhupada's books. As a Live Help volunteer you'll get book points for every book you distribute, and seva points for every Live Help request you handle. Can't wait to get started? Join the family of BBT Krishna.com Live Help Sankirtana devotees today. Try it for a few days, a week, a month, and see how you like it. There's no obligation or time commitment. Your inspiration to preach is all that counts. Preach at your leisure, to people who are coming to you and want to know more about Krishna. No cold calls. No rejections on the street. No "too busy,have no time," or "not interested" responses. What could be more blissful? To get started, e-mail a brief resume of your devotional life and why you would like to do Live Help, to info (AT) krishna (DOT) com. Serious and sincere applicants only. BBT Krishna.com reserves the right to refuse any applicant at their sole discretion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
