Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Dear Vaisnavas Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Our enthusiastic team of prison preachers visited Tihar Juvenile Jail on Monday, where a weekly programe is held. They were greeted by 200 young boys who are in prison for various crimnal offenses. For them to see the devotees is like seeing their family members, they all greeted the devotees with "haribol" After an ecstatic kirtan for one hour, I gave a lecture on Bhagavad - Gita. They all listened attentively and later asked questions. >From this group, we have 20 boys chanting 16 rounds of the Holy Name everyday. The prison authorities are so impressed by seeing these young criminals changing into sadhus. They go to great lenghts to facilitate us. We are very confident that they will also begin to chant Hare Krsna. We will slowly introduce the 20 boys to also read Srila Prabhupada's books. I pray for the mercy of the Vaisnava's that our programme will grow from strenght to strenght for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada. Any comments, suggestions, donations are welcome. Thank you, hare krsna.............. your servant Janakinath Das Co-ordinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
