Book distribution anecdotes from Brazil
On a cold and difficult day in Curitiba, Brazil, Mahananda Murari Prabhu remembered that it is only by Krishna’s mercy that everything happens.
He prayed that if it was Krishna’s desire, would He please allow nice people to emerge.
Gabriela and Matheus then appeared, excited, saying: “It wasn’t by chance that we met!”
He held the books for Mahananda to take the photo.
In another photo, Mahananda was in doubt whether to approach the customers of Trajano Pub, because establishments do not always allow us. Finally, he
boldly decided to go ahead in the name of preaching.
Lo and behold, the first people he spoke to were the owners, who were super nice. They authorized the sankirtana and purchased a Sri Isopanisad — but
not before talking and even putting on Krishna Core music to play as the ambient sound.
Srila Prabhupada: “The test of the strength of our preaching work is that we sell many books and magazines. So what is the difficulty?” (Letter dated
12/17/71).
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
