Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 ISKCON Bangladesh welcomes any Western (white-skinned) devotee willing to spend a few days, weeks, months, years or lifetimes to join in the ecstasy of preaching Krsna consciousness in Lord Caitanya's holy land. This opportunity is especially suited for brahmacaris, but adventurous grihastha couples are also welcome. Any one interested in participating in this cultural preaching experience may contact Atul Krishna PVS or me for more details.

They can't believe it, and especially when these locals hear them chanting hare krsna etc.. they can't believe it. And many of them take us seriously, because they see that it's not just a bunch of "poor" indian devotees, but it's also "rich" foreigners who are also taking up this path. It's only for preaching purposes. I hope it's cleared now, ys, Tribhuvanatha das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reworded Invitation: ***************** ISKCON Bangladesh seeks devotees willing to spend a few days, weeks, months, years or lifetimes to join in the ecstasy of preaching Krsna consciousness in Lord Caitanya's holy land. "Dancing White Elephants" are especially effective in reminding the simple Hindu villagers of Bangladesh of their own Gaudiya Vaisnava culture. This opportunity is especially suited for brahmacaris, but adventurous grihastha couples are also welcome. Any one interested in participating in this cultural preaching experience may contact Atul Krishna PVS or me for more details. ****************** I hope this clears up any unintentional duality or ambiguity. Sorry for the confusion. Your servant, ATD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
