Caitanyananda in Vrindavan
A few months ago I helped cremate the body of my friend Radha-Kunda Dasa down at the Yamuna River. Yesterday I visited a great book distribution hero from Finland named Caitanyananda Dasa. He told me they've given him about another week to live. To some he may look emaciated, and even scary, with a soft-ball-sized tumor in one armpit and his body skeletal due to his digestive system's shutting down. He told me he's having...
Front Line Preaching

Sankirtana in “Sweet Home Alabama”
I was distributing books in Birmingham, Alabama. A group of men walked by with drinks in their hands. I showed them a "Chant and Be Happy'. They laughed and ignored me. They went into a restaurant and I continued my sankirtan with a discouraged attitude. There was hardly anyone in the street. I started to think that I better go home and do some reading. After 30 minutes, the same group came out of the restaurant, and I again...
