Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to our most dearly beloved Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. All glories to the sankirtan devotees of the Lord!
By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Gaur Nitai , I arrived in the city of Nairobi on the 30th January – it was here that the birth of Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON movement in Africa began. Continue reading “Hare Krsna from Dar es Salaam”

Being threatened, being jailed, being harassed, couldn’t stop them. They zealously continue distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books in the streets of Nairobi.
Srila Prabhupada always said that: “The Books are the basis” and “Preaching is the essence”. A couple of dedicated Nairobi Temple devotees proved this by relentlessly distributing books, getting arrested, being threatened, but still fearlessly continuing to distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books.
In this degraded Age of Kali, the streets are considered temples for the devotees of Krishna. Hence Kirtanam in the form of Book distribution becomes a very important form of service unto the Lord. Dwarka Vasini Dasi, her niece Bhaktin Amrita and Bhakta Lewis throughout the year carry out book distribution in the streets of Nairobi. In Nairobi, to distribute books in the streets one has to have a legal permit issued by the City Council or the Local Municipal Council. Dwarka Vasini carries this permit with her every single day she goes out to distribute books on the streets.
The Municipal officers always are under cover, hence, difficult to recognise. Continue reading “Stop them if you can”

Srila Prabhupada personally wrote me, Go on increasing books, and go on increasing my pleasure. Prabhupada’s pleasure means Krishna’s pleasure, and increasing Krishna’s pleasure is the goal of every devotee–exemplified to the highest degree by the eternal residents of Vrindavan, in whose footsteps we aspire to follow. Thank you very much. Hare Krishna. Your eternal servant, Giriraj Swami Continue reading Books and Pleasure
