A Special Day for Book Distribution
Today in Watford (near Bhaktivedanta Manor), I met Hamza (holding the Bhagavad Gita in the attached photo) and Zayn, both of Pakistani descent, who follow Islam. We had a deep and heartfelt conversation about faith and purpose. I shared that today is Srila Prabhupada’s disappearance anniversary, a sacred occasion when we honour the extraordinary soul who translated the Bhagavad Gita and many other books, and at the age of 69,...
On the front lines we experience the Mystical Magic of Krsna

At the age of 62, she continues to chant it, even at her workplace, where she said her colleagues joyfully join in. Sonia has a beautiful voice & began singing the mantra in our own melody, though she was too shy to sit & sing...
