The Book Might make him a Celibate Monk
Inspired by HH Devamrita Maharaj to increase Srila Prabhupad's books distribution we are doing a mid year book marathon. Today I was in Sydney central I stopped this young Chinese couple saying, "We're stopping all the good looking couples today and showing these books on meditation," They laughed and stopped happily. The guy said, "Oh meditation? My golf teacher said that he plays good golf because he meditates daily and he highly recommends it." The boy was into it right away. The girl wasn't into it but...

Anger Anger Everywhere Recently Shadbhuj Prabhu and Bhakta Rajesh Bajaj Prabhu had a tough encounter in the local trains in Mumbai. Shadbhuj Prabhu recalls: We were distributing books in the local trains. At one compartment, I raised my hand to show the books and make announcements, "In today's world everyone is suffering from stress?" Suddenly someone pushed me from behind, "Get aside! God knows why you people come to trouble us." It was a hawker with his wares. "Wait brother," I requested. "Let me...

Dear devotees. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! We had a two weeks' Nrsimha marathon in Finland just before the auspicious appearance day of Lord Nrsimhadeva. Here are a few drops of nectar from the transcendental ocean of book distribution. Around noon I saw a very old couple. They were so old they could not walk by themselves but needed a kind of a kicksled to carry out their business. I thought: "We have come so far and here are these old people. They may leave their body any moment so now is...

Bhakta Panchanana Roy, former employee in civil defense division of Indian Navy and now a Brhamachari Trainee in Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Mandir, had an interesting experience while distributing books in the local trains recently. He recalls: "Hare Krishna," I announced in a compartment packed to capacity. "We have brought these wonderful books to you that explain the truth of life" A man got up and shouted. "Stop it! All this is rubbish! If you don't know true knowledge, why are you bewildering the people?"...

My Dear Prabhus, On Tuesday I received a call from a lady in Nadi Fiji who was really depressed with life due to her husband giving her a very bad time, always beating her and trying to strip her naked in front of his friends when drunk. With depression she wanted to commit suicide. During one of my book distribution programs in Nadi last year, we sold a Bhagavad-Gita to her and also gave my card which is why she knew me and thus called for help. When I heard she wanted to commit suicide my entire body started shivering. I was stunned, than...

I was distributing outside a supermarket in a little suburb in Auckland, New Zealand. I stopped a couple on their way inside and asked, "Are you married?" They said, "No." I put a Gita in the hand of the guy, his girlfriend didn't want him to stop. She had an Indian body and he was Caucasian. It turned out that he worked in the supermarket and was on his way back to work after lunch. His interest in the Gita was keeping him stationary for the time being despite her jaunts and whispers for him to give the book back....

All glories to the Sri Krsna Sankirtan! I had just arrived, one week into last Prabhpada marathon. The causeless mercy of my gurumaharaja HH Devamrita Maharaja has put me in association with my totally serious front line frolicking godbrothers in Sydney. We were at Central station. I was taking a little rest towards the end of the day & feeling a bit discouraged from the overwhelming Xmas rush. There were some books on display next to me on top of a book box. Out of the crowd appeared a tamagunish looking man. he said, "Hey man what...

We were scheduled to distribute in Liverpool, one of the suburbs in Sydney, Australia. Maya's agents were out to get us from square one. The elevators and escalators were closed all throughout the underground system, our choice of transport for the day. This caused us great delays and even caused some boxes to topple over but finally we made it. Liverpool was a very multicultural area and we were seeing more eastern clothing stores than western clothing stores as we approached the centre. Although multicultural was good, if you went into...
