In a letter of March 18, 1971 Prabhupada writes, “So when they will read Krsna book, certainly they will enjoy this as a story or as philosophy, morality, religion, etc. and gradually they will become perfect in Krsna consciousness.”
Just like Prabhupada in his presentation of Krsna Book, the idea behind storytelling is to weave story and philosophy together to make it both an entertaining and enlightening experience for the reader. The storyteller, according to the audience, has to determine the right mix of story and philosophy. What would be the appropriate balance for your audience to be engaged. See what is the major point of the story. Look for one or two additional points.
Storytelling is not a platform to convince the listener. Rather, we want the listener to open their minds and get absorbed in the dynamics of the story and “enjoy” the story. The listener should walk away with a satisfying experience. Prabhupada concludes that “gradually they will become perfect in Krsna consciousness.”

Govinda Swami: Just sat down to take a flight and the gentleman man, in charge of the cabin, came to speak to me.
He said, I'm George, from Lebanon, and I'm your servant.
If there is anyway I can serve you, please let me know.
When he said that I went into a sort of ecstasy !!
I told him that's the topmost viewpoint a person could have in his life, and I try to follow that, though most of the time I fail.
I shook his hand and said,
"George, you just made my day." 
Radhadesh Mellows is one of the most anticipated events of the year. It is a kirtan festival organised by and held in a 19th century Belgian castle which now serves the purpose of being one of the most stunning temples in Europe dedicated to Radha-Krishna. Kirtan is the call-and-response chanting performed by the devotional traditions of India, although now it is found to be practiced in every country by millions of people, regardless of their race, caste or creed; Kirtan simply means to glorify God by chanting His Holy Names. 
Indradyumna Swami: "The heavenly planets are more celebrated than the earth. But the celebrity of earth has defeated that of the heavenly planets because of Dwarka where Lord Sri Krsna reigned as a king. Three places, mainly Vrindavan, Mathura and Dwarka, are more important than the famous planets within the universe. These places are perpetually sanctified because whenever the Lord descends on earth He displays His transcendental activities particularly in these three places. They are perpetually the holy lands of the Lord, and the inhabitants still take advantage of the holy places, even though the Lord is now out their sight." 
The second ring of the main dome has begun. This supporting structure is an epic coil of over 200 pieces of steel designed to fit together. The entire process involves intricate calculations accounting for forces such as counter-weight and weather hazards. The rising ring will form the base of the new temple's centerpiece, the main dome, which will be finished in tile work.
