Printing the Caitanya Caritamrita | Hasti Gopala Dasa

Dear Prabhus!

Please accept my humble obeisances all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Back in 2002 I was informed that it would take $100,000 to reprint the original CCs.
Apparently that is still the cost. I had proposed then with no response that if we got 100 devotees to put out $1,000 each we could have the money in less than a year. 11 years has passed or to put it bluntly $1,100,000 in printing possibilities has been lost. Understandably there is the question of trust and faith in such large fund raising. Those who are working with KBI and other Prabhupadanugas organizations have the know how regarding the functioning of secure and responsible funds gathering. For the life of me I cannot understand why there has been no fund raising for KBI to get the CC’s printed in all these years.
So again I am proposing as I did then. I have $1,000 US now available for printing the CC’s. So we now only need 99 more single donations of $1,000. Each of us can raise $83.33 a month or $20. 83 a week. We are all very good at exposing the BBT as they change Srila Prabhupada CCs but where are we when it comes to standing up for him and countering the BBT with a counter charge of printing the original CCs?

Some of us are very poor and on govt. assistance but they too would be willing to give something or others may be able to give on their behalf. At this point in history in 2013 we have more than enough web sites and security as well as numbers of devotees to get this project off the ground. I will be sending this to all the web sites on my list, please send to all the devotees and web sites on your list and see if we can get some response.

There are an endless number of ways to raise this money besides the $1,000 each lump sum, garage sales, auctions, EBay and Kiggi sales of personal items and more. So the fund raising has started you have $1,000 US in waiting, anyone else? Ask your self, if Srila Prabhupada were on line and physically still here asking for the reprinting of his original CCs would you ignore him? Of course not so let’s all step up now!
