Dear Devotees

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

As we approach the festive season, I am delighted to encourage you to participate in this year’s Śrīla Prabhupāda Christmas Book Distribution Marathon, which will run from 28 November to 24 December. This marathon has long been a cherished opportunity for our community to come together in a spirit of compassion and share the timeless wisdom of Kṛṣṇa consciousness with thousands of fortunate souls.

Śrīla Prabhupāda repeatedly emphasized that distributing transcendental literature is among the most meaningful services we can offer—for by placing even a single book into someone’s hands, we may transform the direction of their life. Each of us can play a part, regardless of experience or circumstances.

There are many ways to participate this year:
• On the streets, meeting people with warmth and enthusiasm
• Door to door, bringing Kṛṣṇa’s message to homes throughout the area
• Running book tables, engaging passersby in a welcoming environment
• Sharing books through personal contacts, offering them to friends, colleagues, and family

Whether you can give a few hours or a few days, every effort is valuable, and every book distributed is a profound act of mercy.

If you would like to join the marathon—or would simply like to learn more—please contact Anushree Mātājī via the Manor’s email: info@krishnatemple.com. She will be happy to help you get involved in a way that suits your time and comfort level.

With affection and gratitude,
Your servant,
Viśākhā Devī Dāsī
