The Mysterious Hand of Krsna
Last week I was distributing books at Moor Park College, close to Los Angeles, when a couple of curious students came to my table. I showed them the books, and they looked really impressed by what they heard, and saw in the illustrations. But when I asked if they would give a donation and take the books, they declined.

After the call, we almost planned to pack the books and go to some other location or maybe go back. At that time one...
