Jeremy and I share a common problem
Hare Krsna, I saw them approaching from the corner of my eye and I immediately knew this was going to be different. He had the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is open in his hand and converged upon me with the intent of a hunter eager to corner his prey. "I have a real problem with a verse in this book," he challenged. "Really?" I feigned surprise. "Which one?" He turned the book around and stood right next to me. "This one," he emphatically pointed out to me. "Abandon all varieties of religion and just...

read moreBook distribution on Gaura Purnima
While chanting, I meditated on how can I serve my guru and Mahaprabhu on this blessed day. I had to reach the venue where we were to celebrate Gaura Purnima by 10 A.M. to decorate for the evening program. So there was not much spare time. Nevertheless, I made up my mind to try and distribute the Bhagavad Gita on my way to the venue. I stepped out of home with two copies in my bag. As I headed to the bus stop, a local Singaporean man was walking down the road, perhaps returning from his morning jog. I decided to ask him. Surprisingly, he...

Madhuyamrta and I were on Cuba Street on Sunday afternoon before SoulFeast. As we were walking to our spot, I saw two traveller-type boys. I said to Madhuyamrta that we should invite them to come along. Although too shy to do it myself, I urged her to go and invite them (ha ha). So we gave them flyers, and they were so friendly and excited to come! When they came, Isvari-Keshavi said to me, "Wow! Ariel and I saw those boys on the street today and we were saying how they should come to SoulFeast, though we didn't get the opportunity...
read moreDancing to the books
During the first day of the seminars on book distribution in Mayapur, Dvarkadish Prabhu from Germany told us of a nice thing that happened during the last marathon. He was distributing at an outside mall when he approached a couple and showed them the books he had. They liked the books so much that they bought seven books, and when they were leaving, Dvarkadish was surprised to see them dancing. They danced all the way down the street. Then people were coming to Dvarkadish and asking if he had some of the same books that the people had who...
read moreA “New start” with Krsna
During the marathon I got into the habit of going out on sankirtan between loads at the laundrette, one of the many “creative” ways I could coax my mind onto the street. One of these days I was standing on the culturally eclectic Albany Road in Cardiff Wales and was having a hard time stopping any of the frantic Christmas shoppers. I saw a rough-looking man approaching me and felt the impending dread of yet another unpleasant drunken exchange. Thankfully he seemed sober enough and was just asking for directions. As soon as he...
read moreLucky thieves
Hare Krsna, While I was giving a class on book distribution to the Sydney sankirtan devotees, we started sharing experiences, and one came out that was almost unbelievable. There were two brothers in Poland who made their living by entering people's homes when they were out, stealing their belongings and then selling them. Once they were in a house when a car pulled up in the driveway. They had just gotten there, so they didn't get anything, and they had to get out quick. As they were leaving one of them thought, "We have to get...
read moreLord Nitai’s grace
After the celebration of Lord Nityananda’s appearance program in our temple Sri Sri Radha Golokabihari in Suva, Fiji it was announced that we will be celebrating Lord Nityananda’s appearance in our new centre in Nauva on Sunday 16/02/14. I had decided to go to Navua on Saturday and camp there with the devotees but due to heavy rains I dropped the idea as I also had to get my vehicle serviced. So on Sunday, morning at 8:30am I took my vehicle for servicing and skipped our weekly Sunday Harinaam as well. When I came back home I did...
