Every day new people come into contact with Krishna consciousness. They are meeting devotees face-to-face through book distribution, speaking programs, cultural events, and casual meetings. And they are connecting through social networks and websites, especially Krishna.com which attracts over 2,000 new visitors every day.

In most cases, there is no systematic follow-up with these contacts. The internet can help meet this need with the tools, resources, and support to effectively cultivate contacts both online and face-to-face.

This includes fresh online content and courseware that can also be used to create physical products like handouts, brochures, DVDs, newsletters, etc. to meet cultivation needs.

Bhakta Jan (VEDA - Vedic Knowledge Online) published these articles about his preaching experience on different internet-forums on our late ~/groups web site. This is meant as a starting point for others to add their own experience and comments.

Everybody can post comments to Jan's articles and, if you've registered an account and joined the Internet Preaching content-channel (subscribe), you can add your own articles to this 'online-book,' or post separate articles in this channel.

(Sorry, because of obnoxious spam-bots I'll have to personally approve your user-account; normally that doesn't take more than a couple of hours, though. Subscribing to one of our content-channels as reg. user happens instantly.)

This book is an introduction to different internet-forums and chat-services, and if you have experience preaching in one of these, you should add them as comments or new pages to this book. For other subjects concerning internet-preaching you should probably post a new article ('page') here.

At Pariprashnena.com, an un-censored discussion forum for devotees, you'll find devotees interested in and practicing internet preaching, and if you're looking for the latest internet technologies, there's Worldsankirtan, a Google-group of devotees with experience and different areas of expertise in internet related subjects.
