I was in Taradale and stopped a mellow looking man who did a bit of yoga. I introduced Bhagavad Gita which he said he had "already got from some really nice guys up in Auckland". I showed him Srimad Bhagavatam, which he pulled out the last of his change for. As he handed me the coins, I asked how Bhagavad Gita was going. He said he hadn't started it yet because he was reading this "wonderful book by Eckhart...
The books gently find their way into people’s lives.
Although a friendly owner initially agreed to a try-out period of three months, now it is a little over a year since we put a Smart Box on the counter of his Indian vegetarian restaurant here in Antwerp, Belgium. Once a week we go there to see whether any books need to be restocked, and we collect the money for those that were sold. In the past fourteen months the Smart Box distributed close to sixty Bhagavad-gitas and more than three...
Utsaha in the Better half

On many occasions, scenting an opportunity, they grabbed the initiative from their better halves and not surprisingly have awe-inspiring stories to narrate.

On normal days it's always a struggle for me to distribute books, and with the temperatures soaring on this day, there were few people on the street. A somewhat Indian-looking guy...
Travelling Sankirtana
Please Accept my humble obeisances. All glories To Srila Prabhupada. After I left Madison, Wisconsin I went to Chicago for the Ratha Yatra. That was an ecstatic enlivening event. A day later I went out to the Taste of Chicago. It's a huge week long event where over 3 million people attend. It's a giant food festival. On the last day I distributed there I met 3 people with the Name Krishna. I took that as an auspicious sign. I...
Book Distribution out of chowpatti India
"Bhakta Anand Renuke Prabhu had made nice arrangements for book distribution in his own industrial unit in Sewree. We were trying to attract the attention of people passing by in steady streams but to no avail! We were not able to distribute even small books in significant numbers and thought to ourselves with some disappointment that we did not have the mercy of Srila Prabhupada to distribute books in the locality of Sewree. We...
