Miracles happen

Hare Krishna, Revati and Jyotsana went out to preach in Nelore and happened to meet a doctor. They waited outside his office for thirty minutes, and the doctor’s assistant kept on telling them. “You are wasting your time waiting for him. He is an atheist.” By the Lord’s mercy, they succeeded in meeting him. While looking toward them he made a remark that he was not going to listen to anything about God. When...

BBT books in Arabic and other languages for distribution worldwide

Finding the solutions to miseries

I met a man who at first turned down the Bhagavad-gita. But then we got talking, and it turned out that he was dying from cancer and searching for truth. So he ended up taking a Bhagavad-gita to find out what happens after death, and he also took a vegetarian cookbook, being interested in changing his diet. The most important thing is to connect with people's hearts, and usually at the core, people want to find solutions to...
