Preparing for Lord Krsna's birthday - Distribute Krsna books to everyone!

View this email in your browser Dear Friends and Patrons Lord Krsna's divine appearance day - Sri Krsna Janmashtami - is soon approaching and here at ISV we have begun preparations for the major festival of the year.  As we prepare to welcome Lord Krsna into our hearts, here is a wonderful opportunity to receive unlimited blessings and auspicious in our lives. At Iskcon of Silicon Valley (ISV), we have taken a goal to atleast distribute 1000 "Krsna - The Supreme Personality of Godhead" hardbound books to anyone and everyone in the Bay Area as an offering to Sri Krsna for his birthday this year.  Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead tells the story of Krishna's life from Srimad-Bhagavatam,the summit of the ancient Vedas from India. This book is presented as a collection of beautiful readable short-stories and illustrations. It forms a biography of the life of Krishna, who was present in India five thousand years ago. The book has beautiful state-of-art paintings depicting the pastimes of Lord Krsna.  The stories develop from Krishna's birth to His childhood and youth. Krishna plays with His boyfriends in the forest while looking after the cows and calves and incidentally He kills so many demons. On some full-moon nights He dances with Radha and His beautiful girl friends, the gopis in the rasa lila. His valor and chivalry being the King of Dwaraka is also wonderfully depicted.  By engaging in this activity of sharing about Krsna to the people of Bay Area, not only our devotion to Lord increases manifold but also brings so many people closer to Him. Here are some of the ways you could participate in this wonderful project: 1. Pledge to personally distribute Krsna books by August 15 (Krsna Janmashtami).  2. Sponsor for Krsna books to be placed in hospital, prison houses, old age homes etc. One case consists of 16 books and sponsorship cost is $108. 3. Join our volunteers in the weekends at various venues in the Bay Area to distribute the books.  If you would like to pledge to distribute Krsna books on your own to family, friends and colleagues and/or sponsor for the books, please fill out this form to choose your pledge level and we will reach out to you. We have special rewards for everyone who participates. This is a wonderful family activity and your children can appreciate and benefit from our rich Vedic culture.  Thank you very much!
