Book distribution at the Paris harinam
At the end of the harinama on October 23 in Paris, we were doing the last kirtan. An old French couple came toward me (or maybe I put myself in front of them). They happily looked at us chanting, and I tried to share with them Srila Prabhupada’s books. I told them their eyes looked young while looking at the harinama. “It’s nice and gives us enthusiasm for what you’re doing here” they said. Then, they...
Hope for the fallen
Today we did a harinama on the waterfront in New Zealand. When we arrived, I saw a guy sitting on the bench looking at me, so I took a Bhagavad Gita and sat and talked with him.

She was super eager to take it home and start reading it. With...
Lord Caitanya’s mercy
Madhava Mohini, Gita Govinda, and I were in Waipukarau for one day of the mid-year marathon, and we had permission to set up a book table in front of New World. About mid-way through the day, I called over a mature Maori lady (named Liz) with the line, “You look peaceful.
