A Note from the Secretary of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness

Dear Reader:
After finishing Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers, you may want to go further in understanding Krsna consciousness. You may want to find out more about the Krsna conscious philosophy; you may want to practice some of the techniques of bhakti-yoga; you may even want to become a fully Krsna conscious devotee. In any case, there's much you can do.

First, we have a virtual library of Krsna conscious books. We generally recommend starting off with Bhagavad-gita As It Is, our spiritual master's translation and commentary for the famous Bhagavad-gita to which he so often referred in his talks with Bob. After the Gita comes Srimad-Bhagavatam, a multivolume work that could be called a postgraduate study for spiritual life. All told, we've published some fifty large books of Krsna conscious philosophy, enough to read and study for a whole lifetime. We also have a monthly magazine, Back to Godhead, and records and tape cassettes of transcendental chanting.

If you'd like to meet and talk with devotees and get some firsthand experience of Krsna consciousness in action, we have about one hundred centers around the world, most of them in the United States. Generally our centers are in large cities, although we also have some fifteen Krsna conscious farm communities for "simple living and high thinking." All of our centers have regular classes every day, feast programs every Sunday, and also special festivals throughout the year. For more specific information, you can write or call the center nearest you. And if you ever travel to India, you can visit our International Center at Sridhama Mayapura, the holy city where the conversations in this book took place. We also have a wonderful International Center and Guest House in Vrndavana, the ancient Indian city of Lord Krsna's eternal pastimes.

Of course, wherever you are, you can always take advantage of chanting the Hare Krsna mantra: Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Our spiritual master says, "Just chant Hare Krsna, and your life will be sublime."

Finally, for any questions at all that you might have about spiritual life in Krsna consciousness, please feel free to get in touch with us here at our central office in Los Angeles, and we'll do whatever we can to be of service.

Yours in the service of Krsna,
Swarup das Adhikari
