Dear Friends
Prabhupada Marathon 2022
08 November – 31 December
It is that special time of the year when we come together to share Srila Prabhupada’s books.
“…producing and distributing books is our most important engagement, all other engagements culminate in this one end — distribution of books.” (Letter to Tamala Krishna Maharaja, 27 July 1973)
Here is how you can join the marathon!
1. Kids League
We have a unique experience planned exclusively for all children who distribute 20 books or more.
2. Youth
Join a Harinam – Join the weekly Harinams in and around Durban or
take on the TikTok Book Distribution Challenge.
We challenge the young and the young at heart to promote and distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books innovatively via TikTok. Use the hashtag #BooksaretheBasis2022
4. Go Solo
Take a book pack and distribute it at your will and time, gift them to loved ones, or maybe it’s time to update your personal library.
5. Team Up
Friends/Nama-hattas are invited to register as a team. Distribute books door-to-door, on the street, or at pre-arranged spots.
6. Support Spiritual Learning
If you don’t have the time, you can chip in towards our spiritual learning initiative.
7. Be A Hero
We arrange everything – the place, the books, the company. Just show up!
8. Live to Give Campaign – Distribute Bhagavad Gita on Gita Jayanti!
All participants’ names will be offered in a special Fire Yajna in Kurukshetra on the Advent of Bhagavad Gita (Gita Jayanti) on Saturday 3 December.
