Czech Sankirtan Stories

Dear vaisnavas, please accept my humble obbeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Here are some sankirtan stories from czech devotees who distributed Srila Prabhupadas book and Krsnas prasadam. These stories are from this marathon and from period before marathon. I also want to apologize that my english is not perfect.

I was distributing in one industrial city and in the late afternoon suddenly one lady seeing me that I am distributing books came to me and very humbly gave me piece of paper and asked me if I by the chance have these books. When I looked to the paper there was complete list of Srila Prabhupadas books and there was also written-Author: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I was realy amazed. Then the lady told me whole story that her son wants her to buy these book for him for christmas. She was out whole day seerching for these books in every bookstore in the town and everywhere they told her that they dont have these books. Suddenly at the and of the day she saw me and she decieded to approach me. She happily took five books for her son.

Mahasringa prabhu met one christian and after some strong discusion the christian decieded to give small donation and took TLC. And then the christian chalenged him that he will give him more donation if Mahasringa promise to him that he will pray for forty days to Jesus Christ. Mahasringa told him that he will pray to God for forty days and told him that he must also read this book every day at least for forty days. So the christian gave nice donation and promised that he will read Teachings of Lord Chaitanya.

Kesava Puri prabhu met one young boy and he invite him to his home telling him that his mother was interested in these books. When he met his mother she said to him that she is already waiting for him. The lady was interested in omen cards and told him that she can fortell the future.She takes ten books.

Hari lila mataji was distributing prasadam in one bussy town and after some time she get hard time and nobody wants anything. After some time one gentlemen came and told her: "Dear lady how it is possible?! Why nobody wants to buy this from you? I was sitting in this restaurant and watching you for some time. You are working so hard and nobody want anything." Then he gave her nice donation and take many packages of prasadam and came back to restaurant. She went to the car and take some books for this man. When she come to him he very hapily gave her big donation and took all prasadam she has.

Vidyavacaspati prabhu brahmacari(51 year old) met one young crazy boy and showed him books. Than the boy in crazy manner start to speak:No No No I cannot read these books, I cannot read these esoteric books, my psychiatric doctor dont allowed me this". Vidya with fatherlike compasion look to him and told him "My dear boy dont speak like a fool. These books can realy cure you." The boy started to look around him and than he buy two books.

Radhika Ramana prabhu was distributing in prefabricated blocks of flats and nobody wants to take book. Than he decieded to change the mantra and he starts to simply tell to people that he is Hare Krsna monk and these books are for them. In the last entrance he distributed tvelwe books.

Loka saranga prabhu also distributed door to door and by the elevator he met young lady, she was drug addict. He told her that he has books about ancient indian philosophy and she immediately asked him if he has BG. When she saw BG she immediately started to beg Bg from him telling him that she dont have much money. Then she bring him some money and two silver earrings.

In one old block of flats where people working in the mines live I met little drunked man and woman. They told me that their 21 year old daughter is little bit interested in these things but for 6 years she is suffering for schizophrenia and that she doesnt want to come and look at these books. I insisted that she must look at these books and than I gave the books to parents and they came to her room. After some minutes they came back and they buy Bg for her. I gave them my email addres and this girl after some days thanked me that I was there with Bg.

Mandalibhadra prabhu our headcook in one of our Govinda restaurant for two years fed one strict vegan with halava, butter cookies and many nice butter-milky foodstuffs always telling him that there is no problem with this food and his vegan diet. After two years this boy decieded that he will end with his veganism and will start to be vegetarian. When he came to know that he already broke his veganism he start to laugh like anything. This boy puriffied by transcendental prasadam is now living in Nama-hatta chanting 16 round, following regulative principles.

Bhaktin Elen met one young homless beggar and he told her that he has some our books and that he realy wants Bg. But he had no money and everything he collect on the street he spend for food. She told him that he can come every afternoon to our Govinda restaurant and take some resting prasadam which was not distributed during the day and spend his collected money for books. He agreed and in afternoon he buy a Bg and his plan is to buy whole set of Srila Prabhupadas books.

Kesava Puri met young boy and he told to Kesava that he is from near village and he came to town to buy some spiritual books. Kesava gave him two books and the boy happily went back to his village.

I was distributing in one village and I enter to one very old house and nobody was there. After some hours I came back in the same way to the van and I saw that before this old house there is a car standing. The house was little far away from the street but I decieded to go there. The whole house looks very mistical and whole atmosphere start to be very tense but not negativly. Doors were opened and when I entered the house there was middle aged man greeting me and looking very misticaly to me. Immediately he agreed to buy these books for his relative and gave nice donation buing eleven books. I was remembering that somewhere I heard that sometimes demigods descending to the earth to buy books from skt devotees.
