Sometimes, as parents, we may worry about our service to the community. Indeed, how to find some time to serve the temple between the baby diapers, prasadam preparation and the homework to complete with the elder one? Thus we can feel discouraged or even guilty for not fulfilling our duties perfectly, at home as well as at the temple, thereby forgetting what parenting actually means in our spiritual life.

Due to Lord Nityananda’s mercy, the printing started on His appearance day. The book then arrived in Sridham Mayapur on Bhaksiddhanta Saraswati Thakur’s appearance day and it is now being released on the first day of ISKCON Leadership Sanga!
Right after offering to the Deities, we offered Becoming Your Devotee to our Minister – HH Jayapataka Swami – then he personally signed the book!
“I cannot describe the happiness I felt in being able to read the dedication of this book directly to Guru Maharaja! It was a dream come true to be able to offer ‘Becoming Your Devotee’ on the auspicious day that Srila Prabhupada also started his Back to Godhead magazines for the pleasure of his spiritual master.
This book is dedicated to my Guru Maharaja, HH Jayapataka Swami, who has been my greatest inspiration and pillar in my Krsna consciousness. He has dedicated his entire life to Srila Prabhupada’s instructions and at every moment is in complete surrender to Lord Caitanya’s preaching mission. He is continuously inspiring and empowering the Ministry to provide more services and support to the children of ISKCON congregations all around the world.”

New CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY BOOK!
We are very excited to announce the upcoming launch of a children’s Krishna conscious book filled with fun activities!
This will be a book series called:
“BECOMING YOUR DEVOTEE”
LEARN – BHAKTI – FUN
Are the 3 perfect words to describe this book.
We started this series of books with the conviction that learning about Krsna consciousness is fun and enjoyable. Learning should be exciting and this is what this book is trying to achieve.
Children learn best when they are actively hands-on engaged in the topic which is why we have included a wide range of fun-filled activities!
Becoming Your Devotee explores, in depth, 8 interesting Krsna conscious topics such as putting on tilaka, the 9 processes of devotional service, Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda and how to offer bhoga and arati.
More than 150 ways to engage your children in Krsna consciousness!
COMING SOON!

The first 5 years of a child’s life are very important to set the foundation of the parent-child relationship. Chankya Pandit says – “lalanam“, pamper the child for the first 5 years. What is this lalanam? It can be compared to the shaping of a pot.
When the clay is wet, the potter shapes the pot. He is gentle but firm, molding it to the desired form he wants. If he is too hard, the pot crumbles.
