From Dark Matter to Krsna
Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada. A few days ago I met a student at the University of Toronto who at first maintained his distance, saying, "I'm not really into yoga and that kind of stuff."

Thoughts on upcoming Book Distribution marathon by Bhakti Vikas Swami
Is distributing Srila Prabhupada's books just a leftover from the past? Is it relevant in ISKCON today? For the answer look to Srila Prabhupada's words and look all around. Srila Prabhupada was very clear that he wanted distribution of his books to continue.

Hare Krsna Challange
While distributing books with the Weekend Warriors program in the Kingston section of London, I met a man of African nationality who was a little bit disheveled, with unkempt hair.

We were in Varna City, Bulgaria, on traveling sankirtan. It was Lord Balarama's appearance day. I decided to offer all the books I distributed that day to Lord Balarama for His pleasure. There wasn't so much time to distribute, though, because we had to do some cooking for the festival. I began to distribute around the camper that we travel in, and everything was very easy and blissful. For the past few years I've been...
