Distributing books when you don’t have any at the moment
My story begins with attending Mangal Arati on Radhastami at the temple. Initially, I planned to go with Bhakta Sivam instead of taking my car. I thought that he would return to the ashram after class. However, he decided to stay at the temple until the evening program. But there was a Harinama planned back in Otara.
