The San Jose Temple (ISV) is home to some of the biggest book distribution scores in North America. This dedicated team of grhastha devotees living outside the temple, under the inspiration and guidance of His Grace Vaisesika prabhu, distributes almost as many books as some of North America’s full-time book distributors.
On the weekend before our arrival they had distributed 14 full sets of Srimad Bhagavatams, along with many other books, and they now have over 150 youngsters going out weekly in teams.
On Monday, April 27th we arrived in San Jose and were brought to the home of Sri Lalitha mataji where we remained for our 3 day stay. In the evening we attended a program at the home of Hansa Priya dasi, a second generation ISKCON devotee. During kirtan the Padukas and Sitari were bathed and worshiped with arati, and Jananivas spoke on Mayapur, after which prasadam was served.
