[Guest guest]

A First in History

Posted: 9/18/2003Bhakta Chris Matthews

Krishna Prison Ministry would like to announce a first in Vaishnava history! The

Oregon state prison is broadcasting Srila Prabhupada’s lectures twice a week to

each and every cell in the institution!The prison has each cell wired with

radio allowing the inmates to plug headphones into the wall jacks and hear.

Jivanada Dasa, an inmate there, has started broadcasting Srila Prabhupada

lectures twice a week so every man has the opportunity to start his journey

back home, back to Godhead.As far as we know this is the first time in history

that a Vaishnava Acarya has been in every cell in a prison preaching Krsna

consciousness!We are ecstatic!!!! Hare Krsna!We would also like to take the

opportunity to thank all those who have donated books, stamps, money, tapes and

cds. Especially Bhaktivedanta archives and Kamlesh Patel.We would also like to

thank those who have written inmates giving them much needed devotee

association.If you would like to help

or contribute to spread Krsna consciousness to the most fallen souls

incarcerated in our world prisons please contact us at:Krishna Prison

Ministries c/o Bhakta Chris Matthews5437 Meadow Rue TrailKnoxville TN, 37918 or

e mail us at matthews97 (AT) aol (DOT) comWith continued support from the Vaishnava

community we hope to have Srila Prabhupada’s books widely available to all

inmates by the year 2005. This means making the books available in prison

libraries and to individual inmates. We also would like to see devotees going

regularly into the prisons and county jails for Bhagavatam classes, kirtan, and

prasadam by this date.There are many souls who are contacting us and

Chandrasekhar of the main ISKCON prison ministries daily who need all of our

love, association and support. Once again thank you to everyone who has helped

make this dream a reality! Hare Krsna!All glories to Srila Prabhupada ki jai
