Question: All we iskcon have and can bless them with is our books, kirtana, prasada but also astrology, handreading?
Hindu pandits are ignorant or cannot explain or spiritualize stars reading, handlines. We have computer programs for this. With this we teach and turn these sciences to Krishna consciousness. what Srila Prabhupada said? utility is the principle. kaladesa patra. acarya cant confirm to a stereotype. or …….. can we expand the book table and Krishna consciousness with this?
Answer by Romapada Swami:
When presenting yourself as an ISKCON devotee, the purpose is not to attract many people by selling many varieties of books on non-devotional topics, thus getting money from selling many books on many different topics. Our function is to represent our Founder-acarya and the disciplic succession, presenting the message of bhakti in a very straightforward, honest and transparent manner. This will be attractive to Krishna, and it will be attractive to sincere souls as well. Monetary gain is not our objective. Attracting people to Krishna is our objective.
