The Prabhupada Marathon
Devotees are gearing up for the Prabhupada Marathon, a time when we focus on giving people what is their prime necessity: knowledge of Sri Krsna. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura said that the only lack in society is Krsna consciousness.

Challenges on book distribution with nectar at the end
In Los Angeles, I was asked to leave the first college I went to, owing to a Covid restriction created on the spot by a campus policewoman. All of the police officers were fine with me being there for many weeks, but she was different. I showed her my mask, my disinfectant spray, and my vaccination card. She was unimpressed.

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.
