namahatta.org - Congregational Development Ministry

This is another BBT-related webiste, offering guidance, resources, and news about book distribution. The mission statement:

We serve the devotee community by sharing inspiration, resources, and support for the distribution of transcendental literature in service to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.

A multimedia webiste hosted by devotees from ISKCON Chowpatty (Mumbai) with over 9,500 files available for free download: audio- and video-files, e-books, lectures, whole seminars from Radhadesh, Krishna conscious online-games for kids, and more.

This site offers many articles aiming to help devotees in their struggle for spiritual advancement and realization. HG Sankarshan das adhikari, one of ISKCON's initiating spiritual masters, offers a free online-course, "Ultimate Self Realization." This is particularly useful for devotees who don't live in or near an ISKCON temple and don't have the opportunity to regularly associate with experienced vaisnvavs.

This website offers Srila Prabhupada's most important books for online reading. The site doesn't contain pictures or technical frills and works very fast. There's no internal search, but you can use Google-search by specifying "site:vedabase.net" in front of the search term—this wil cause Google to search within the vedabase site only. Read on to see the table of contents of the whole site.

A web site dedicated to ISKCON's Founder-Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Among many other articles and sections facilitating understanding of and meditation on Srila Prabhupada, you'll find:

• A brief biography of His Divine Grace;
• Selected writings, including an explanation of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and of Srimati Radharani's identity, and Markine Bhagavata Dharma, a poem he wrote upon his arrival in Boston;
• Editorial notes by the publisher

This web site is a vast storehouse of knowledge: devotional, spiritual, philosophical, or scientific—presented from the devotees' point of view. Not everything is as well organized or presented as one could wish, but you can find information on practically anything you might want to learn about.

Vedas and Vedic culture: what you won't learn in school

In school we can learn many things but unfortunately not the important, existential ones. These are elaborated on in Vedas, a sort of manuals how to use this world and how to live in it. Obviously, they should be available to everyone.

Rasa-rasika Prabhu maintains this "open forum for discussion on all aspects of chanting". Apart from himself some thirty devotees have been posting tips & tricks how to keep the mind focused on the important task of chanting japa—from their own experience, and quotes from senior devotees and Srila Prabhupada.

"Welcome to Krishna.com, the site all about Krishna. Here you'll find information about God-realization, self-realization, Bhagavad-gita, spiritual life, meditation, yoga, reincarnation, karma-free vegetarianism, and more..."

The beta-version of the new Krishna.com web site, with new features like a kids' site, Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa-puja book online, and twelve live web-cams from different temples right at the top of the front page. There's also an improved version of our teachings, with separate introductory and further reading sections.
