How to Make Everyone in Beverly Woods Krishna Conscious?
In California, Los Angeles, I was thinking: "How to win Beverly Woods with Krishna?" They are our close neighbours and very artistic. Also very proud, because they have everything. Except Krishna. Most probably they will not let you in. And really most opulent houses of the stars were just closed completely. No signs of life. Ok, I am also an artist, a star, but Krishna's star. I devoted my music to Him. Krishna is more powerful than maya, so I must win. They will like my music and will take Prabhupada. I put on me the most...

I was distributing my CDs of "Saints' Bhajans" and "Meditative Maha-mantra" together with Prabhupada books in different States of America. The mantra was the same: "I am Your neighbour, I stay with my friends. I am from LIthuania, Europe, and I am famous singer there. Just recently I recorded my CDs in very good studio, so I was thinking that maybe my neighbours would like to have them?" Neighbours were excited to meet beautiful famous singer from abroad, they became very receptive, very artistic, supportive,...

I am professional classical and opera singer with many degrees and diplomas, and with many concerts worldwide from my childhood, 6 years of age. But when I became a devotee for 15 years I was learning to sing only for Krishna, the Lord, and nearly did not open my mouth. I thought that to sing for Krishna you must learn to sing so beautifully that Krishna would like to listen. Devotees were telling me that only devotion matters, not the voice, but for me devotion means to attract Krishna and melt His heart with the beauty of my heart and...
read moreHow to Distribute Many Books
I always remember Prabhupada's words "think big". If I want to distribute many books, first I count how many books I want to distribute, how many points I want to win. For example, I make my plan to distribute 100 books a day. Then I take with me 100 books. The more you take, the more you distribute. Remember, books of Krishna do not like to lie in your bag, and psychologically you do not like your bag is heavy. Therefore you try to distribute them as soon as possible. To become relieved from transcendental duty. Also out of...

read moreThe Higher Taste
I remember my reaction when I first time read "The Higher Taste". It was the first Prabhupada book I had at my home. And I got it as a gift from my friend who never became a devotee, maybe later, because she did great job by distributing a scripture to me. She told me: "You like un-earthy esoteric matters, you might like the book". At home I read this book in two hours. While reading I was all my heart with Prabhupada's wisdom. I understood that I found what I was searching. When my grandmother – very religious...

I remember when my ex-husband cheated me and threw me out of my own house on the street, and sold it by evil, I was completely lonely. Nobody wanted to speak to me, even friends and relatives, nobody could help, understand. I was so afraid alone. But because I already knew Krishna, I prayed to Him. Only doing sankirtana from morning to evening I could maintain myself and be happy. My calamity was so big that only sankirtana leaded by Lord Caitanya could pacify me and help. Otherwise I was just mental. But Lord Caitanya saved me, He picked me...

When I just joined the spiritual movement I believed Prabhupada and spiritual authorities so much, therefore I did what they asked. That was my success in book distribution. Senior devotees helped me, I was praying to scriptures, to Prabhupada, and they made me their instrument. I felt that it was not me who distributes books. I felt it even more, seeing people reactions. Some of them cried, some of them were jolly, some very spiritual, etc. So different spiritual moods. Someone was afraid to take a scripture in his hands because of many...

When I joined brahmacarini ashram actually I was the first lady to live there at that time (because Prabhupada completely convinced me) devotees told me to go with them on book distribution. So the first day I joined I went on sankirtan. I was distributing Prabhupada's books I have never read before! But I was reading them together with people on sankirtan. I approached them, opened the book and was reading to them. People listened and bought books. They were buying Prabhupada's words. Another way to distribute books is to...
