A Sankirtana Story
Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Once while distributing books for the Prabhupada Marathon for a couple of hours one Saturday afternoon in a Gainesville parking lot, I encountered a man sitting in the driver's seat of his car reading the Holy Bible.

Back then, on our first day out, Brajananda told me that he is always grateful for the training he received: “If you can stay in the ring, you will be a prize fighter.” “Good advice,” I replied.
