Sankirtan Stories
By Yadavendra Das This morning, the second stop was a small shopping center with only two or three shops open for business. The question on my mind was whether to stop or not to stop. I decided to stop anyway. It was a Vietnamese area and from experience I know that Vietnamese people generally like to engage freely and liberally in the Sankirtan Movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This is indeed a great credit to the Vietnamese people. As I entered the beauty shop the whole family was present; that is the young mother, father and daughter....

Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I just received a letter from a devotee that sent one of the stories that I sent on the bds, to a friend, that person he sent the story to was from India but had never read the Bhagavad Gita but after reading the story she became very inspired to read the Bhagavad Gita.This devotee suggested that we compile a book of enlivening stories of how we came to Krsna consciousness, it doesn't necessarily have to be from a book either, although it may be more...

In Bombay, while distributing books at Colaba,the touristy street in downtown, I came across a nice couple from England. As we spoke, Reuben explained to me that he had already read the "Science of Self Realization." I was amazed at how he began to glorify Srila Prabhupada. He said, "The author of that book, Prabhupada, is so on the ball; he is so intelligent! I especially enjoyed the conversation he had with that French Cardenal. Prabhupada was defeating him left and right!" He went ahead and purchased a Bhagavad Gita....

Devotee: They are attracted by wonderful things such as Sai Baba. He is doing so many wonderful things. People… Prabhupada: That is, means rascal. He does not see Krsna's wonderful. If you want to see wonderful things, why don't you see the more wonderful things? But they are foolish; they are captivated with small wonderful things. That means less intelligent…..

Dear Prabhu's, Here's a few little stories. One old lady of maybe 75 years. She had her fingernails painted red with little white Christmas trees on them, and was quite touched that I noticed them and told her how nice they looked. After she gave me a few dollars I really got a thrill watching her hobble away with a big brown 9th canto part 3 under her arm. Another was a man who was sitting in his car on his mobile phone, I asked if he could ask the person who he was talking to if he should buy the book. Whoever he was talking to...

Dear vaisnavas and vaisnavis, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. All glories to his books and book distribution and distributors. In Cape Town, South Africa we had a particularly ecstatic and purifying marathon. During part of it we travelled to Johannessburg and for the rest of it we had the transcendental association of His Holiness Bhakti Caitanya Swami. I am talking on behalf of our Nitai Pada Kamala TSKP. I particularly write this letter to beg of the mercy of all the vaisnavas to...
