Radha-Krishna Prema

England (VNN) - by Madan Mohan dasa & Syamananda dasa

Dear Devotees,
Please accept our dandavat pranams. All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!

RADHA-KRISHNA PREMA is a magazine published quarterly in England and distributed to Gaudiya Vaisnava devotees and aspirants to this path worldwide, since 1992. Essentially a community magazine, the aim is to enliven and encourage all readers by sharing sweet Hari-katha and giving devotees a forum for keeping in touch, sharing personal experiences and insights, and building and improving community spirit.

The magazine is dedicated to our beloved spiritual masters Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja and all previous, present and future acaryas and Vaisnavas.

We are always looking out for new material in the way of articles, transcribed lectures, photographs, letters, poems, etc. and resource listings for temples, meetings, festivals, books, magazines, audio and video tapes, news and discussion forums, web pages and so forth.

We would like to expand the size, scope, quality and quantity of this magazine to reach even more devotees, new and old alike, to help contribute towards a truly global community of devotees.

Please let us know if you have something to offer in any of the following areas;

LETTERS, ARTICLES, NEWS, POEMS

e.g. Personal testimonies of how you met Srila Narayan Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada or any other maha-bhagavat Vaisnava and how your life changed. These personal accounts make fascinating reading and inspire all of us through sharing something personal.

Any news or stories from the tour?

Perhaps also Vaisnava perspectives on current issues of the day, community-building or presenting Krsna consciousness in a fresh, non-institutionalised way?

Any budding writers or poets out there? All contributions welcome.

TRANSCRIBED LECTURES/LETTERS

There is a huge demand for fresh lectures, especially from the current ongoing world tour by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Maharaja.

Please send any transcriptions, whether edited or raw, unedited material, preferably accompanied by a copy of the original tapes where possible, to the address below.

We intend to build a comprehensive database of all transcribed lectures to be developed into a reference system to be accessible to all devotees.

Any letters or excerpts from letters that you would like to share would also be an invaluable contribution.

Please include dates and places where original lectures were taped and the names of recipients of letters, plus the original questions, where answers are given by letter. Many thanks.

PHOTOGRAPHS/ARTWORK

Please send any copies of sharp, clear pictures that you think would be good for the magazine, to the address below.

OTHER RESOURCES

We are always looking to increase the numbers of recipients and subscribers to help RADHA-KRISHNA PREMA grow and reach out further. Please send us any names and addresses to update our mailing list.

We are especially keen to gather e-mail addresses to help contribute to an effective global communication network among devotees. There are unlimited opportunities to make contact with new devotees and old friends worldwide by e-mail.
