Krsna’s mercy at the end and a new family member
While on sankirtan in Hamilton (New Zealand) recently, I met a familiar-looking couple. I had met them on traveling sankirtan in Rotorua during the recent marathon. They had taken a Bhagavad-gita for the husband's father. He is seriously ill, with a terminal disease.

Krishna is Making a Place for Himself in Each Home
A small team of devotees, and I went door-to-door in Cupertino, California. At almost every door we knocked on, the people happily accepted a Srimad Bhagavatam set. We have been covering this area for a little more than a month. We knocked on a door with nice decorations on it, and Tulsi was growing in the front yard. The first week that we knocked on the door, no one was home. The second week, only a child was home, so we could not...

He was very interested in the books...

ISV Starts with Several Sets Distributed
One morning, the ISKCON Silicon Valley devotees heard an inspiring sankirtana seminar and kirtan by Vaisesika Prabhu. Then, surcharged with renewed energy, teams went out on book distribution. This marked the beginning of Sankirtan 2016 at ISV! The kids did not want a break that. They wanted to go out to distribute books.

Book Table outside Grocery Store
Years ago when I used to do some book distribution in Dallas, we used to put up a book table outside indian grocery stores and give a prasadam cookie to everyopne going inside the store and try to sell them a book when they come out. One such evening, one asian lady came while her husband was waiting in the car on the curb. As usual we gave her a cookie, she paused for a while and just glanced at the books. I said, "we will show...
