Write and Be Happy: Voicing Our Way to Krishna Through the Written Word
From early on, Śrīla Prabhupāda encouraged his followers to write—to express one’s understanding and realization of Krishna consciousness through the written word. Writing is empowering—it forces us to clarify our thoughts, and it brings those thoughts to a wide audience, enabling us to move others to change for the better. In this presentation, after briefly reviewing Prabhupāda’s statements on writing, we will go through some “who-what-when-where-why and how” questions in relation to writing, with particular attention to discussion on how we can contribute meaningfully to the enrichment and spread of the Krishna consciousness movement. Whether you are a seasoned writer, a wannabe beginner, or somewhere in between, please join us for an hour of reflecting together on the richly rewarding art and craft of Vaiṣṇava writing.
