Lord Yaksa gets the Mercy
by Jiva Doya Prabhu from the Bhaktivadanta Manor in England
I was distributing in South England, a small town. I approached a young couple that was not doing to well materially. She was crippled and almost blind, and his eyes were not functioning properly, he had these big thick glasses, and he was also a bit crippled. So I asked them if they had heard of the, "Lord of the Rings". They said they had.
I never saw the movie but I knew that it was filled with all sorts of demons, wizards, mystic powers, and miracles. I told them that the stories in this book are even more amazing than they could even imagine. But that these are all true, written five thousand years ago in Sanskrit. And these are about great saintly personalities battling with demons (Krsna book). They were very interested in the book by this introduction because he had a very farout dream not to long ago. He said, "let me tell you what happened to me: I had a dream that some huge demon was chasing me, and he said to me, "your name is Yaksa, Yaksa, Yaksa. I was very scared, then I woke up.
Then this person I was distributing to asked me if I had ever heard the name Yaksa. I said "Yes, I've heard the name Yaksa".
"And the females are called Raksasis, right?
"Yes, this is so".
By this time it was getting a little eerie, a little weird, here is this unusual couple telling me about a dream where yaksas are chasing them. And he's looking at me through these thick glasses. And the girl kind of reminded me of what a raksasi may be like. It was becoming strange, I didn't know where it would go from here.
Then he said, These books will be great for me because I'm a writer and I may get some ideas from these books".
Then to my shock he gave twenty pounds ($30 US). Then I told him that I have some more books that you may like, so he became more exited and got more books.
Then before we separated we exchanged e-mails. His e-mail is "lord yaksa @hotmail.com".
