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.

I started praying,"Please Krishna, send some really interested person before I leave, please." Then immediately arrived Bhakta Prahlada.
