Book Distribution Nectar at the Mines
From darkness of nescience to light of Godhead These are the activites of the bus party of ISKCON Chowpatty that went to the coal mines last year. One day we went to an area which had one open and one underground mine. When we reached the underground mine, we found that the workers had already gone inside. So there was no use waiting.

Bhagavad Gita the touch stone
While I was at the Woodford Festival in Australia, a young man came to mytable. He is from Byron Bay, the sense-gratification capital of Australia. I explained some pictures in the Bhagavad-gita, and he was impressed, so he decided to take one and give a donation. He also asked many questions about Krsna, happiness, nature, and yoga.

Observatory staff visits a book table
Griffith Park Observatory is a famous tourist spot in Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of foreigners and locals pass through to view the stars, educational exhibits, and a dazzling light show. It is like a temple of atheism. Perhaps it is the atheistic, Western version of the transcendental Vedic Planetarium that Srila Prabhupada had in mind. With a little legal shove from a lawyer, Amarendra Prabhu, we have re-established a nice book...
Long Lost Devotee Gets Sets of Books
An older man was watching my attempts to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. He approached me and asked whether I had any new books. He introduced himself as Vedanta Dasa. He lost contact with devotees for twenty-five years. After a nice conversation with me, he bought some small books and went on his way. During the marathon, Vedanta Dasa approached me again, four months since the initial contact. He was looking into my box of...
