Report from Malawi, Africa

(The author is Murari Dasa, who has been preaching practically alone for the last two years in one of the world's poorest countries.) Bhakta Ram has become very keen for any opportunity to distribute books, and so he joins me on weekend book distribution excursions. On the first weekend of March Bhakta Ram and I rode by car about four hours to the shore of Lake Malawi, to a town called Mangochi, the main holiday-resort town in...

Book Distribution Nectar

by Krishna-kumara Dasa (USA) I'm out traveling again, and yesterday our party visited the University of Santa Barbara in California. After a full day of sankirtan, it was time to go back to the van.

British Celebrities Get Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita

by Bhakta Alexey (London) I was fortunate to be invited to a function at which I accompanied my seniors Jai Nitai and Sachi Kisore Prabhus. The function was dedicated to a senior British lady named Jo Fillippou upon her being formally honored as a Member of the British Empire (something like Paul McCartney's being knighted.) Somehow she knew our Jai Nitai Prabhu, so we were invited as well, but he didn't prepare a speech. Jai...
