The Battle of Easter

We assembled our phalanx one block away from the Home Bush arena (Sydney's Olympic facility). Rupa Raghunatha prabhu, Australias Bhisma of sankirtan, led the advance, because he was the most experienced and the only one who had been there before. I felt excited as I observed our little sankirtan army all ready to give up there lives for Srila Prabhupada. Some of the great worriers were; the small but dangerous Hrman Krsna prabhu,...

Then I asked him if he would like to have another book. He...
