Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu reciprocation
London Dear Kavicandra Maharaja, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to your divine grace. I just wanted to thank you for my stay in Greece. It was really enlivening. You'll be glad to know that we met a young pure girl, really humble and fired up, who had gotten a book from you last year. She came to both our programs, chanted enthusiasticlly in kirtan and with a japa. She promised to...
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s instructions to Vasudeva Vipra
Although Vasudeva Vipra was a leper and had suffered greatly, still, after Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu cured him He instructed him to preach Krsna consciousness. Indeed, the only return the Lord wanted was that Vasudeva preach the instructions of Krsna and liberate all human beings. That is the process of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Each and every member of this Society was rescued from a very abominable...
Chanting Before Tulasi Devi makes one spiritualy strong

The Lord definitely says that no one is more dear to Him than one who is always engaged in the preaching work of the Lord's...
Mormon Man
by Tulasi dd I approached a Mormon man, who pushed the book away. "No, different beliefs." So I asked him whether he had been taught the ultimate yet, as far as Mormon beliefs. He was a little surprised that I knew about how the ultimate teaching is that some select ones are eligible to become one of the gods. I said that Joseph Smith had some insight into how to become one of the gods, but that the Vedas fill it in more....
Srila Prabhupada on Book Distribution and cheating
The following is taken from the Prabhupada Memories videos, part 12: (Apologies for not having the name of the devotee who is speaking available.) "In the middle of 1972, Srila Prabhupada wrote me a letter. At that time, there was no 'plain-clothes' Sankirtana. Everything was straight out saris, dhotis, tilak, telling people, "We're from Hare Krsna, please read a book about Krsna." In the letter, Srila...
