How to invite or get people interested in your program?

In order to invite people to become interested in the Bhakti House we have created a special "dinner card," which only gives the details of the Bhakti House, as though it were a separate entity from the temple, the Sunday Feast, etc. The card is exclusively given to young people who show some genuine interest in spiritual subject matters. A rule was made that the card should not be distributed to anyone outside the ages of fifteen to twenty-five years old, and the card goes out mostly at colleges. This invitation to the Bhakti House has a new-age, spiritual, non-specific look to it. It has pictures of candles on it, for instance, or it could have a picture of young people dining on prasadam together and just enjoying the atmosphere of the Bhakti House. It describes an evening of transcendental beats, soul talk, "You're more spiritual than you think," and "Open discussions on the modern day issues that effect our lives, from a spiritual perspective." A nature scene on the card or a photo of young people enjoying kirtan is good, but no overt Hare Krishna language, symbols or pictures.
