New Book Releases

Hot off the printing press and appearing in Sri Mayapur Dham this festival time are two new books.

Srila Candramauli Swami Maharaja has written a very inspiring book called Holy Jail. This book is about the Iskcon Prison Ministry and the effective results it is having on prisoners around America and India. The prisoners very beautifully with great depth express how they came to Krsna through the help of the Iskcon Prison Ministry and how their lives have been changed for the better through the love and care showered upon them by the sevaks of the Iskcon Prison Ministry.

There are also wonderful remembrances’ of those great devotees who have served with the Iskcon Prison Ministry and have now left us to go back home to godhead. Containing stories, a history of the ministry, letters, art and poetry from prisoners, as well as their vyasa puja offerings to Srila
Prabhupada, all in all it’s a very interesting and uplifting read.


 From Srila Jayapataka Swami Maharaj we have Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s Sri Godruma Kalpatavi. Translation and commentary given by Jayapataka Maharaj.

This is a fun and easy read, showing us how to set up and run nama hatta group’s ourselves, very simply. Sri Godruma Kalpatavi gives us the rules by which the groups can live by and the history of nama hatta from the time of Bhaktivinoda Thakura to the present day. There are also personal
stories from Jayapataka Maharaj and other devotees on their preaching experiences.

Sri Godruma Kalpatavi brings out the preaching spirit within the reader, encouraging you to also become a part of the nama hatta program in some way. It’s written in the style of Bhaktivinoda Thakura’s Marketplace of the Holy Name mood, which adds to the fun.

A very timely book release as this year is also the 30th anniversary of Nama hatta in ISKCON.
