-Frequently Asked Questions -
- Who is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, Founder-Ācārya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness?
Srila Prabhupada is a spiritual teacher that brought a 5000-year-old non-denominational spiritual tradition called Krishna Consciousness to the western world in the 1960's and 1970's. He translated and wrote many wisdom literatures that Utah Haribol Books, Beads, & Incense is distributing to the people of Utah. You can best learn more about Srila Prabhupada and the Hare Krishna movement he started by reading Srila Prabhupada's books and by visiting the temples where you can meet devotees of Krishna.

- What does Utah Haribol do with the money I donate when they give me a book? -
All donations to Utah Haribol Books, Beads, & Incense go toward efforts to distribute more spiritual books or for projects to help beautify the Hare Krishna temples in Utah.
- Why do you sell books or ask for donations in exchange for books?
Sometimes we do give people literature for free if somebody really wants this transcendental information and doesn't have the resources to pay for it. In fact, you can access most of the books that we distribute for free online. Most people in Utah do have something that they can give in exchange for this knowledge. It is an ancient principle that when you give something in reciprocation for spiritual knowledge it completes a circle that connects you to a long line of teachers that have painstakingly brought us this knowlege through many centuries. Your donation allows us to distribute more books and to contribute to the work of the Hare Krishna temples in Utah .
-OK. I've read the books you gave me and I like what I read. Now what?
Come to the Hare Krishna temple in Salt Lake or Spanish Fork to meet devotees and to learn more. We have many activities and festivals in which you can participate. Please visit the website of the Utah Krishnas for more information.
- What else can I do to support your cause besides reading the book you gave me?
We're glad you asked! We'd love for you to help us distribute books to more people. You can also donate to our organization to help us purchase more books to distribute. Please send us a message at info@utahharibol.org to tell us of your interest in supporting our cause.
