He got a book then became a book distributor
We set up a book table at a local college that we usually go to, only to find that a permit was required on that particular day. Thankfully, as we were setting up, a nice boy from the booth across kindly offered us his permit, since he was leaving. We gave him a couple books in exchange for his kindness. He told us that he had been searching online how to become a monk, and he gladly took the books. Then he called us yesterday, saying...
Good results while getting out on book distribution while I can
I am currently working in Carterton, in the Wairarapa, about an eighty-minute drive from Wellington. The sankirtan here is great, and I have been trying to get out when I can. Yesterday, I finished work early (that rarely happens!) and took the opportunity to distribute books in a local supermarket car park. As usual, Lord Caitanya was very merciful and encouraging. Here are a few highlights. I met a young Maori girl who had come to...
Lakshmi-devi ‘s late arrival
It was as though Sri Lakshmi-devi had deserted Sydney. I roamed around the city for hours, talking, and all I was getting were empty wallets flipped at me. No money.

Deep satisfaction
I was distributing books in Kumeu and stopped a cool looking girl, who said "no" straightaway and got into a car near where I was distributing. Shortly afterward a man joined her in the car, and he sat and watched me. I stopped a man with a few kids, who was in a hurry. He quickly grabbed a “Hiding in Unnatural Happiness” and went into a dentist's office. Then the man watching me got out of the car and talked...
Hell Froze Over : It’s Called Canada
It was sunny, but windy and cold, below freezing. And people were reluctant to stop. I collected a large number of rejections fairly quickly, and the mind was telling me to pack it up. “You’ve touched the pavement, you’ve collected rejections, so fine, done, let’s go now,” the mind said. But I said, “OK, let’s wait till we get one person who doesn’t reject then.” Pete looked at me as he...
