Everyone are looking for Something Which Will Make Them Happy and Peaceful
Mataji with her daughter approached an elderly man to take a Gita. He told her that he is not interested but may take just to help us, although uncertainity loomed in his head. Guessing some sadness , Mataji spontaneously told him that she will pray that all auspiciousness set in his life soon. The moment he heard that he was taken aback and immediately took the Gita seeing the sincere way she expressed it. Next day, the man again...
San Jose, CA Weekend Warrior 2007 Marathon Results
Dandavats, I received a report of the results of the San Jose, California USA Weekend Warriors 2007 Prabhupada Marathon. The results are amazing. This shows what can be accomplished in all the temples of North America. I hope the devotees in San Jose forgive me for making this public. One of the qualities of a Vaisnava is that they don't want praise for the service they render for the pleasure of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. But,...
A two-day dose of mercy

Stunned, I turned around, and a soldier approached me....
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. I then invited him to New Govardhana. A couple of weeks later I was at New...
