A lady’s Sister Helps a Devotee Distribute a Book

During the Prabhupada marathon in Upper Hutt, near Wellington, NZ, I tried stopping a young Maori lady with a pram as she entered a burger shop.

Soon after I stopped another young Maori lady who was very interested in the Gita, though she didn't know much about Krsna or Eastern wisdom. Being fifty cents short of the recommended donation, she said she would...

Finding for pearls in the ocean

Bhakta Prahlad Made the Day…

It was the end of the day at the college table and I was feeling a little sad that the kids had not been very interested. Many already had books from us and only a few seemed to want more. I started praying,"Please Krishna, send some really interested person before I leave, please." Then immediately arrived Bhakta Prahlada. He was only 19 years old and he came to LA from Bangalore to go to college. He is by himself in...
