Support 'Give the Gita' Campaign & Unveil the Mystery Tile Wall at ISV!

Dear Friends,

Hope this meets you all well. 

'Give the Gita' is an annual campaign organized by the ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV). ISV has been engaged in distributing and sharing the Bhagavad Gita's to everyone in and outside of Bay Area for several years. "Give the Gita' is a huge annual campaign geared towards distributing a targeted goal of Gitas to commemorate the Gita Jayanthi Festival in December. The campaign spans for 3 months, usually from October – December every year, where the volunteers at ISV work towards distributing  the Gitas at various venues and through different channels both within and outside of Bay Area. In the past, the Gitas have been placed at motels, chapels, prison houses, hospitals and Corporates. The volunteers also go door to door to meet people and share the Gitas apart from distributing them at local festivals, events etc.

The aim of this campaign is to spread the message of love and peace through the wisdom of Gita. The Bhagavad Gita advocates love at its purest form. The fulfillment that we are all seeking is found in the sharing of this love. Gita reveals the message of peace, both individually and collectively. The teachings of Bhagavad Gita, when applied, will awaken our intrinsic love and divine qualities and will enable us to not only find the pleasure we have been seeking but also become powerful agents of change in the world.

The target set for last year's 'Give the Gita' campaign themed as "MSF of Krsna's Most Dear Servant" was to distribute 16,108 books of Bhagavad Gita in two months. Our energetic volunteers worked around the clock and surpassed the target by distributing more than 17,500 Gitas.  Many people who received the Gita responded with messages of gratitude for it has been a life changing experience for many. The campaign this year is named, "MSF of Miracle in Latham Street' geared towards the goal of distributing atleast 19,065 Bhagavad Gita's. The Gitas were distributed at the hospitals, chapels, motels and senior care centers. We are very grateful to all our sponsors for their generous donations which has benefited so many people. 


Are you inspired to help in this campaign? There are many ways you can do so.

Join our energetic team of volunteers for engaging in the distribution of the Gitas during the weekends. It is an exciting and fun filled activity that you would cherish!

  • Support the campaign by sponsoring the Gitas. We place Gitas for free at the chapels, hospitals, prison houses and the motels and we always look for sponsors to support us for this cause. Earn a tile and unveil the 'Mystery Tile Wall' by sponsoring a case (16 books) of Bhagavad Gita. Each book that you sponsor will be distributed on your/your loved one's names with a sticker labeled on the book. Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that one who tries to sincerely present the message of Bhagavad Gita to others will advance in devotional activities and reach the pure devotional state of life. 
  • Do it Yourself! ISV's motto is to encourage everyone to do a little for tiny drops of water makes the ocean. If you are inspired, please take the case of Gitas from us and share it with your friends, family and colleagues. By doing so, you are planting the seed of wisdom in their hearts.
  • Spread the Word! Spreading the awareness of Gita in itself is an auspicious activity. There are many sincere seekers and lovers of Bhagavad Gita out there and they may benefit by your good will.

If you would like to sponsor the Gitas and/or would like to volunteer for this campaign, please contact Sri Krsna Purushottam Das (408 623 5341)/ Malini (408 515 5292). We look forward for your continued support. 

Thank you!

With Gratitude
Team ISV
