Transendental Appreciation

While distributing at Wikiki in Honolulu I approached a couple and showed them the Bhagavad Gita, the man immediately started chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, this of course was enough to put the book-distribution-bliss level up another notch. I asked him how he knows the mantra. "I've been going to the Rainbow gatherings for over 30 years so eventually I got it down, I've also put down a lot of halava, you guys sure do...

Thoughts on upcoming Book Distribution Marathon

Wicker Park revisited

Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Recently i wrote in about the wicker park area of Chicago. The area is a haven for poor artists and some of the soaked materialists who have appetites for seriously gross sense gratification. So anyway, one day while there i was getting cold and i wanted to go into this building there. It is an oddly shaped V building which awakens a sense of the movie...
