The Australian Society For Krishna Culture Inc.

After 40 years of service all around this great country of Australia, in systematically distributing the books of Swami A.C. Bhaktivedanta, the founder of ISKCON or International Hare Krishna movement, such as Bhagavad Gita As It Is, Srimad Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrita, and others, along with some of his disciples nottobeneglected vegetarian cookbooks, such as Kurma Dasa', and the very latest 108 VEAGAN Recipes (GrainGluten Free) by Krishna Priya from India,(not a direct disciple) with the purpose of lifting the spiritual standards of our Australian publicreaders, we have been downscaling this extended traveling book distribution. Instead, we distribute books locally in South East QLD and Northern NSW and continue to distribute books online. Currently, we offer to anyone in the world a free BhagavadGita As It Is, version one, also called the 1972 Macmillan edition, softbound, here: https://krishnaculture.org/specialoffers/. Our best years of traveling netted 5000 pieces of literature distributed to libraries, shops, persontoperson included VIPs. For the record, this particular Hare Krishna books distribution mission actually started in Paris, France in June 1973. So all together 51 years of international service with various degree intensity. Srila Prabhupada always stressed book distribution very much. Please see https://krishnaculture.org/book distribution/ We practice and promote, both privately and in the streets the chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra, or great, designated chant of deliverance for this age of quarrel and hypocrisy: HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE / HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE and various other mantras in Sanskrit language. With accordion and all, chanting Hare Krishna can actually be quite pleasant. Just watch the dancy wancy kirtan by Madhava s rock band here: https://krishnaculture.org/2021/09/01/3803/, recorded in Vrindavan, Krishna s birthplace, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is also the Hare Krishna charitable tradition that anyone who is destitute and hungry is welcome, as far as possible, to have a free meal at one's home, or at the ISKCON Hare Krishna Food for Life free or lowcost meals distribution centers. Hare Krishna Food for life is the free and subsidised food distribution of our parent organisation ISKCON, which we support as far as possible. We are also a repository of Hare Krishna books published over the last 51 years including early editions of the '70s and '80s of Bhagavadgita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrita, Srila Prabhupada letters, Vyasapuja books, etc. Unlike the Bhaktivedanta Archives (Prabhupada.com) in North Carolina, USA however, we do not have a nuclearproof vault for the preservation of the literary legacy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Additionally, we have accepted a new major task to reedit Bhagavad Gita As It Is, even though two (unsatisfactory) versions are already available. https://krishnaculture.org.
