Young European men take up bhakti at the Loft in Auckland
One Saturday, I had a nice exchange with a young man from France, who was interested in, though not overly enthusiastic about, our books and philosophy. He said he wouldn't take a Gita because he'd already picked one up from someone named Bhakti in Melbourne. A few months prior, I'd been in Melbourne and met an amazing devotee named Bhakti Sara. He is very inspiring – enthusiastic to get out on book distribution, to...

Childen in Auckland demand books
Recently, I've been meeting many nice children in Auckland. Often when I stop a parent and child, the parent has little interest and is about to end the exchange, but the child intervenes by grabbing the book. Some children are attracted to Srila Prabhupada's books. It's extraordinary to see. The children then refuse to return the book.
