Appreciation of Srila Prabhupada by the pious religionsist
I was on sankirtana at Botafogo Beach in Rio de Janeiro. At a bar table, there were three fat old men. One said, “We don’t want to buy anything! I’m an Evangelical. He’s a Spiritist, and he’s a Pai-de-Santo (a priest of Umbanda, an African-Brazilian religion).” I continued the conversation, trying to find my point, until I said, “But look, this is one Srila Prabhupada’s book!” The...
Remembering the distribution in Clondalkin, Ireland
I was remembering the times when I used to sell Srila Prabhupada’s books in Ireland. One time I was going door to to door in Clondalkin, which is a village not too far outside of Dublin.

Victoria’s surrender
While I was distributing books at Balboa Park in San Diego, three ladies come to my table, all crying. Fifty feet away from my table a violinist was playing, and they were listening to him before coming to my table. He’s good, so good that he brought them to tears. I showed them the Gita.
