The JPSEM Promotion Page
The JPSEM ministry overhead: Our running overhead for utilities and production supplies is approximately $250 per month. The ministry is looking for donors to pledge one month or several months per year. A pledge for financial assistance for the overhead plus an audio or video subscription will be a satisfying and much needed service.
The JPSEM subscription: The purpose of the JPSEM is to both protect and distribute the audio and video recordings of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami. Programs are in place for monthly subscriptions, retail sales and subsidized shipment of tapes into third world countries. Donations and Grants are needed for placing Ads, producing sample products, printing catalogs and producing products for free or low cost distribution in the third world countries.
The JPSEM building fund: Plans are for the ministry to permanently locate onto land in the Murari Sevaka rural community project, located in Tennessee, USA. Land is being considered and will be purchased by Jitakrodha das and Yogarupini dasi for the ministry project. The land will be purchased from the Murari Sevaka land corporation. The ministry land will be adjacent to Murari Sevaka and also to land for Jitakrodha and Yogarupini?s personal residence.
Plans are for the ministry building to be constructed by Jitakrodha das from straw bale/ concrete stucco and will be approximately 30 feet by 50 feet in dimension. The foundation/ slab and roofing system will be sub contracted and the walls, electric and plumbing as well as all finish work will be done by Jitakrodha das as service and to save Laxmi.
The estimated cost for the new building is at present 10,000 USD. The proposed plan for construction is spring of 2000. For this event to happen the ministry needs to have a building fund of 10,000 USD in place by early 2000. Donors who will be enlivened that the ministry will have a permanent home and located adjacent to an ISKCON community need to come forward for this construction campaign.
To be an example for the donation drive Yogarupini devi dasi is pledging one acre of land for the JPSEM ministry at an approximate cost of USD 2,500. If four additional donors can come forward for this same amount we will have the land and the Laxmi for the building.
In the next few months the land will be located and purchased, the final building designs and a detailed construction schedule will be finalized. During construction the ministry services will continue as normal with no lapse in the present subscription services.
In addition: Donors and donations are also needed to update the production equipment and software and also donations are needed for archiving the audio and video products onto DVD media.
