In this partial online-publication you find:

You can download the complete newsletter here (pdf-file; last time I tried the download was corrupted, though).

Previously published links to the IPM web site don't work anymore; there's a new site coming up (under construction) at this address: www.iskconprisonministry.com.

I just received the IPM-newletter for March-April 2007. The pdf-file can be downloaded here: link, from the IPM web site.

There's another web site coming up, at www.iskconprisonministry.com, which also offers a pdf-newsletter containing contact information and some statements from prisoners.

In this 'online book' you find the articles I found most interesting from the above newsletter (March-April '07):

1. Organic Space-suits
2. The Paradox of Our Time
3. Letters from Jail
4. Let Us Culture Knowledge
5. Fatal Fat
6. Our Duty as Spiritual Vegetarians

The ISKCON Prison Ministries Web Site

iskconprisonministries.com is up and running, and you find all IPM Newsletters (pdf-format) here - including the latest one, November – December 2006. (The web site is still "under construction" and I'm sure Bhakta Jerry Prabhu will appreciate any coments and suggestions you may have.)

In this online-edition you find, among others:

• Mount Olive Yatra

  An exceptional article about a group of devotees in the high-security prison Mount Olive in West Virginia, USA, by long-time devotee and inmate Tirtha Prabhu, and

• The Wholly Joyful, Wholly Hopeful Holy Name

  "... I am often amazed at the vast quantities of hope and joy that the message of the Vedas has brought into my life from so many different angles when it seems as though we are living in a world of turmoil where hope and joy should be the exceptions rather than the rule."
