Always take books with you

VANCOUVER–I didn't think I would get to distribute books today because I had Nitai to take care of (8 yrs old), but I put a Gita and some medium books in a bag, just in case Krsna wanted to send me a sincere soul.

I politely declined while forgetting that I even had books with me, when suddenly I found myself...

So I decided to save my energy for the next day. As I was leaving, a student came to me and asked, "What are these books...

Good Christians and Free of Stress Through the Holy Names

I was distributing in downtown LA at the Art Walk, where thousands of young artists gather. I approached a young lady walking with her daughter, who looked maybe six years old, and said, "Wow, you guys look so spiritual." The lady stopped and said, "Yes, because I have Jesus in my life." I didn't want to waste my time getting into it with a Christian, so I asked if she liked vegetarian food and gave her an...
