This request for IM (internet messenger) association appeared on chakra recently:

At namahatta.org we have a content channel named Internet Preaching, which I created for devotees to share their contact details, ideas, and experiences using the internet in general, and IM services in particular.

At this address you can see a list of devotees and their internet messenger-IDs (as of now, there's only Gita Govinda Mataji's. Please add yours). And here you can submit your own contact details and explain what type of preaching or association you are interested in. You don't even have to create a user account for this. (However, if later you want to edit the info about yourself, you'll need an account with our website.)

your servant,

phani

During Janmastami time, Krishna.com received more than 10,000 unique visitors per day… Live chat was so busy we couldn’t keep up. I had five chat windows open at the same time and more people coming. It has slowed down a little since then, we’re back to a normal 4000 - 5000 unique visitors per day… and the live help requests are still pouring in.

So rather than hog all the mercy for myself, I am writing this short piece to encourage you to get involved. Plant and water the seeds of Krishna Bhakti in the hearts of eager Live Help seekers on Krishna.com.

Govinda Prabhu, one of our live help volunteers from India, shares the following:

“When I read the various questions we get on live help I can get a better understanding of how large the preaching field is, and how much more we could do if we had the resources.

“So often aspiring devotees write to us, needing help with devotional service. They don’t live near a temple and they have very little understanding about how to perform devotional service. It is so hard for people like this to make spiritual advancement. They don’t have devotee association, they can’t take part in kirtana, and there is no prasadam for them to consume. The only guidance they have is Prabhupada’s books. But what if they have questions? What if they need encouragment? That’s where we, the live helpers, are so important. We can give those devotees the guidance they need.

While I am typing this piece, Vidvan Gauranga Prabhu is talking on the Skypecast: “The Secrets of the Medieval Mystics of India.” The introduction is: “Realized sages, free from all mental conditionings, have left jewels of experienced knowledge. Such treasure of wisdom helps us to solve our problems and fulfill our deepest desires. Their message is that happiness is possible.”

People appear receptive and respectful, asking a broad range of related questions. We already distributed four Science of Self-Realization books, pdf format.

I am seeing more and more how we can flood the internet with transcendental knowledge through this medium.
