Enthusiasm is all we need

Today, outside Tottenham Court Road Station, I met Carl, originally from Paris. I asked him what his proudest achievement in life is. He smiled & said it was arriving in London some years ago, learning English from scratch, completing his MBA & now serving as Head of Sales at a Finance Technology company near the London Bridge Monument. I offered him a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, however, Carl declined to take it. He explained...

KRISHNA REALLY CARES

Saturday evening I was having a rough time on sankirtana. Though books were going out, the pace was slow. One might think that Mayapur would be an easy place to sell Srila Prabhupada’s books.

Distributing Books in Bars and Pubs

I now live in India with my wife, but when I’m back in Ireland I also go into pubs to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books when I move from shop to shop.

It so happens that sometimes a customer may spontaneously decide to buy a book after hearing me talk with the...
