16 Rounds To Samadhi is a Sastra Dana publication, a newspaper.

We have a newspaper rack in front of Henry’s in Pacific Beach, San Diego. Henry’s is is one the largest health food stores in San Diego and, as you can see, our rack is right by the entrance door.

We tried several times to put a book rack in this store and it was honestly very difficult. We were turned down, one time after another. That is where the beauty of the newspaper is. Basically the content of our newspaper is identical with the content of our books. The difference is that the content of the newspaper is packaged differently. It’s graphics and design make it look contemporary, doesn’t have that religious look and feel to it. Nowadays lots of people are put off by religion. As I said, we tried to put a book rack in this store many times but it just never worked. However the store managers didn’t have a problem with having us distribute our newspaper at the store’s entrance off our newspaper racks.

This is truly wonderful. How much more wonderful can it get, that our publication, a Hare Krishna publication, is available at such popular, mainstream places? This place, for example, Henry’s, is super busy. If you watch the video you will notice vehicles coming and going, constantly. So many of these people now have a chance to read a Krishna conscious information, a wisdom lacking in these modern times.

Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Henry’s, Ralph’s, and many more such places carry our publication. This is something we previously were not able to accomplish with book racks. I think this is a grand success for the mission of Srila Prabhupada and that of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

So please plug in, help out. There is much more to do. We have a hundred or so racks out there and we could have thousands of racks carrying our publications. We should have no difficulty competing with San Diego’s reader, LA Times, City Beat, etc. But we need help, your help. We need help financially. You can donate money for this cause. If you have some talents, skills, you could help in that way. We need graphic designers, illustrators, people that can draw comics, people who can write, people that are good with editing English, etc.

CONTACT US to volunteer, plug in, and help the mission.

Thank you. Hare Krishna.
