Online Book Distribution Course

The BBT MCI team has launched Book Distribution 101, a free, self-paced online course designed to help devotees develop confidence and effectiveness in distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books.

Suitable for all experience levels, the course offers practical guidance, inspiration, and proven strategies for book distribution. The first level, Foundations of Book Distribution, is available now, with additional levels coming soon.

As Vaisesika Dasa, ISKCON's Book Distribution Minister, explains, “Whether you're a beginner or you've been doing it for a while, this course helps you to stop guessing and start getting results.”

The course is currently available in several languages, including English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.

There are 2 more weeks left of Purushottam Month. Be sure to take advantage of this highly auspicious extra month and gain immense spiritual benefits. Observed roughly every three years, it is believed to be the best time for spiritual advancement, where devotional acts, charity, and fasting bring multiplied blessings, erase past sins, and help devotees attain liberation

The Temple is getting ready to engage you during this auspicious time!

Thank you to all the donors, this project is going to begin in the middle of June!

We are finally going to tackle covering the pavilion floor! This wonderful covered space that serves you at every feast and festival, for performing arts, graduations, and more, needs something better than stained and uncleanable concrete. We have contracted with Beaudry and Sons in High Springs to lay down a beautiful epoxy (triple) coating that is cleanable, durable, and will give the pavilion a polished look.

The temple veranda is a key part of our gorgeous temple, made by the hands of many devotees here. The overhanging eaves create shade and a comfortable place to meet and greet devotees. But the veranda concrete was never totally finished, and it cannot hold onto paint. It looks a mess. So we are going to coat that with a product that will always look clean, last for generations, and do justice to our temple.

Donate here to finish the temple veranda

The limerock roads, while maintaining the rural feel of the temple property, require a lot of maintenance. The dust they throw off is problematic for the devotees living along the road, for the cows in the fields near the roads, and for everyone's cars. The road going back around to the kitchen is well used and needs a lot of maintenance. It floods after every rain and deteriorates as it lies on a downslope from the temple. We would like to fix that this year, add asphalt around the back and shape the area to accommodate rainfall.

Donate here to help fix our roads
