Please Pray for Syamapriya Mataji!

To bring Krishna consciousness to prisons around the world, to provide opportunities for inmates to practice Krishna consciousness, and to guide inmates in their spiritual life.
In 1962 Srila Prabhupada wrote as one of the goals in the prospectus for his League of Devotees (the precursor to ISKCON): 'To take charge of moral upliftment by spiritual process even for the criminals and prisoners of state, and to accept all kinds of help and facilities from the police and government concerned'.

ISKCON Prison Ministries continues the work of ISKCON devotees who have been helping inmates for many years. Devotees worldwide are writing to inmates and visiting prisons. IPM is trying to expand and co-ordinate this work in North America and beyond.
The Ministries' preachers counsel and inspire inmates trying to become Krishna conscious. IPM has been successful in getting Srila Prabhupada's books to inmates who want them. The Ministries' programs in prisons feature chanting, sharing prasadam, and studying and distributing Srila Prabhupada's books. Some inmates quickly become vegetarian and understand that Lord Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As inmates refer other inmates to Krsna consciousness, the work expands.

To place Srila Prabhupada's books in prison libraries worldwide; to start The Freedom Journal, a newspaper for inmates; to provide inmates a correspondence course on Krishna consciousness; and to find devotees in each state in the US to place books in prison libraries in their state.
