A Blockage Released

I was out on harinama & book distribution (in Totness in the UK) with my friend Bhakta Neil. A woman (Linda ) and her family approached us, and she was trying to explain something to us. I asked her what had happened. This is what she said: "While I was walking down the other side of the street, I heard drumming. It was lovely, and when I got closer I could hear the chanting of Hare Krishna. I turned to my daughter and said,...

Wrong Turn

On an Ekadasi, seven of us left the asrama in a minibus for book distribution. Hriman Krishna Prabhu dropped off the first three devotees at their spots. We then continued on, planning to go to North Shore spots. However, in a 'transcendental moment' Hriman 'accidentally' took the turn for the Western motorway. Taking this as Krishna's arrangement, we continued, and Gadai Gauranga and I were dispatched to Lincoln...

Army Man to Monk?

We drove to Thames from Hamilton (New Zealand) for a day of book distribution. I was distributing outside a mall and a supermarket and meeting some nice people. I stopped a couple and fortunately hit it off with them. The man had been in the New Zealand army and gotten depressed. He'd managed to get out and happened to find a small book on Buddhism. He read it and wanted to be a monk. He had come to the mall and brought along...

A Intoxicated Michigan Mother Begins her “Journey Home”

I met a lady named Amanda sitting on a bench in downtown Grand Rapids with a bottle of wine in her hand. I'd approached her to give her the book "The Journey Home," by Radhanath Swami. I gave a regular introduction about the book. Upon enquiry, I clarified that it's not about any specific religion. It's about spiritual realization. She was wearing a cross, but she truthfully opened her heart, saying, "I have...

Book Distribution is a miraculous service

In central London I met Rex, a Court judge. He has Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita and informed me with a big smile that he had just eaten at Govinda's. Jaya! Next day I met Linda, a retired psychotherapist. In her words she is "really seeking" and has done some meditation. She lit up when she got the Veda book (a book similar to SSR), Chant and Be Happy, and A Higher Taste, I told her about chanting Hare Krishna...

People Read more than we think, and the World is Becoming Vaikuntha

I was distributing books at the Hollywood farmers' market when I approached a man and showed him the Bhagavad Gita. As I was showing it he said to me, "I've read that book six times my favorite book in the world." I said, "You mean this one by A. C. Bhaktivedant Swami Prabhupada?" "Yes, He's a great writer." We had a talk about the BG, and I gave him an invitation to our Sunday program. An...
