European Sankirtan Newsletter

Dear prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This month was full of surprises. In Europe, Italy was again more than double the second place, which was a surprise. The Dutch yatra came in second with almost 3000 points, Hungary with almost 2400 points and Czech Republic with almost 1800 points, all overcoming the big yatras Germany and France. Germany has a plan to increase, what about France?
Now that March and Gaur Purnima are over, our full concentration is on the Bhadra Campaign 2026 with an inspiring but do-able goal of 100,008 Srimad Bhagawatam sets distributed all over the world.
The world Sankirtan ministry has set goals for all the countries in Europe including the UK. I will give you the list of goals and we can all start working on them and Krsna will give us the intelligence how to reach them. Goals are very powerful, so we should take them to heart and Krsna will make it happen by seeing our sincere endeavor.

Remember that these are goals for the period from Gaura Purnima to Bhadra Purnima September 26 and calculated a small percentage higher than last year's distribution. So, we have more than six months to reach our goals, so they are certainly do-able and possible. Srila Prabhupada ki jaya!!!
I would like to refer to the Sri Caitanya – Caritamrta regarding our flooding the world with love of Godhead in the form of the Srimad Bhagawatam, the scripture most beloved to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
CC Adi-lila chapter 7 verses 25 and 26
Verse 25 "The flood of love of Godhead swelled in all directions, and thus young men, old men, women and children were all immersed in that inundation." Purport "When the contents of the storehouse of love of Godhead is thus distributed, there is a powerful inundation that covers the entire land. In Sridam Mayapur there is sometimes a great flood after the Rainy season. This is an indication that from the birthplace of Lord Caitanya the inundation of love of Godhead should be spread all over the world, for this will help everyone, including old men, young men, women and children. The Krsna consciousness movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so powerful that it can inundate the entire world and interest all classes of men in the subject of love of Godhead." This inundation will be in the form of Srila Prabhupada's books, especially the Srimad Bhagawatam.
Verse 26 "The Krsna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind." So, let's flood the earth with the Srimad Bhagawatam!!!
This is from the Srimad Bhagawatam 10-13-54 end of purport
"We should discuss Srimad Bhagawatam daily as much as possible, and then everything will be clarified, for Bhagawatam is the essence of all Vedic literature (nigama-kalpatayor galitam phalam). It was written by Vyasadeva (mahamuni-krte) when he was self-realized. Thus, the more we read Srimad Bhagawatam, the more its knowledge becomes clear. Each and every verse is transcendental." So, let's give the whole world the chance to read the Srimad Bhagawatam and make their lives sublime.

Your servant,

Trai Das

Corio (TO)
In the morning, at a hardware store in Nole, I show the book on karma to the young owner, who was holding onto crutches.
At that moment, he refused the offer, appearing unwilling to listen to me or read such a book.
So I leave, wishing him a recovery and trying to somehow understand his situation.
At the end of the day, I find myself in a small village 10 km from Nole.
On the central cobblestone street, a man gets out of his car, and I promptly show him the book on karma.
To my surprise, he agrees without hesitation.
He claims he was in the hardware store that morning and witnessed the incident.
He tells me that when I left, the owner of the hardware store regretted not taking the book and missing out on that opportunity.
So, the man tells me, I want to take the book and give it to him.
It is interesting to see how Krishna works out plans to fulfill the requests of the conditioned souls to come closer to understanding Him.
