A Strange Place to Give out the Mercy
By Partha-sarathi dasa
I was on patrol i Iraq, when we came under sniper fire. Instantly we took cover. Since we were couldn’t move, I thought ” might aswell read the Gita”. So I took out my pocket Bhagavad Gita and started to read. Next thing I know I had 5 soldiers around me all huddle against a wall. They listened intently as I read a verse out loud and then asked if I had any books with me they could have. For some reason that day I had some small books in my assault pack. With in seconds they were all grabbing them and putting the books in their pockets. You could see in their eyes they forgot about the situation for a second and were happy to get this doorway to the spiritual world. The next round impacted near our position waking us up out of our dream. Quickly I gave them orders so we could push through the kill zone….
Just another blissful day of service!!!!!
