Week Ahead 29 November - 3 December





Dear Friends,

The Srila Prabhupada Book Marathon started on Tuesday, 25 November. Srila Prabhupada affectionately encouraged his boys and girls: "I extend all blessings to those boys and girls who are trying to distribute our books even under difficult conditions.”  (SPL January 1974)

Over the last two weeks the boys team travelled to Ulundi, Richards Bay, Empangeni, Mandini, Darnall, Stanger, Shakaskraal and Tinely Manor. They distributed 1800 books. On Fridat they travel to Escort and Ladysmith. The girls team will begin this weekend with book tables at the Chatsworth, Unit 2 shopping area, Bangladesh Market and Veg Express. Remember you are invited to join these teams even if just for an hour or two. Contact Pyari Mohan 083 602 6008 or Rukmini (from Saturday morning) 084 579 1080.

We welcomed His Holiness Krishna Das Swami, who arrived in Durban on Monday, 24 November.

Kartik Round Up & Marathon News





Dear Friends,

We want to congratulate everyone who took part in the bhakti sale during the month of Damodar. We are pleased to announce:

We have hosted the Festival of Lamps programme in forty homes,  
6100 Kartik packs were distributed, and
49 400 Lamps were offered to Sri Sri Radha Radhanath over Kartik.


Now that devotees have had their fill on the extra mercy flow during Kartik, it is time to share and distribute it far and wide. As we near the 2015 Srila Prabhupada Book Marathon let us remember Srila Prabhupada’s words: “...distributing books is our most important engagement, all other engagements culminate in this one end — distribution of books.”  (Letter dated July ’73) By going out on book distribution we facilitate others to have those same devotional experiences we love so much. Every week we will highlight exciting events, book deals, and hints on how to get into the spirit of book distribution, first of which are our book deals:
Krishna Book Set (Krishna Book and three small books) R100
Bhagavad-gita Book Set (Bhagavad-gita and eight small books) R150


Finally, you are warmly invited you to join us this Sunday, 16 November, for the Love Feast at 3pm with His Grace Paramananda Prabhu.


As always, we look forward to seeing you and hope this finds you in the best spirits,

Your friends at Sri Sri Radha Radhanath Temple
