Book Distribution is Contagious
Recently, Udhayan Prabhu, one of the devotees attending the Bhakti Vriksha program in our house, met me in the train that I distribute Srila Prabhupada's books in every day. He was on his way to Mumbai, but he spontaneously volunteered to carry the books and distribute some books himself. We did a good number of books that day. A few days later I met one of the persons who had taken a copy of the Ramayana in English compiled by...
Two travelers pick up books
Met a man today with two suitcases. I asked him why he looked more peaceful than everyone else, and he said because he has suffered so much. I showed him the Gita, but he said he had the Gita. I showed him "Searching For Vedic India," which he immediately took a liking to. He said he is going to India next year. He gave $20 and took the book. (He said that he was an upscale homeless man.

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. She gave me the cold shoulder – didn't even consider stopping. 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
It was a wonderful day on sankirtan as HG Vaisesika Prabhu returned from the dham after 6 weeks. Just the presence of Prabhu felt so purifying in the most passionate place, Market and Powell street in San Francisco. As Prabhu mentioned it felt like an milk ocean of people and there were some valuable pearls here and there. Everyone was going somewhere and no one was interested in spirituality. But ISV devotees, almost 35 of them...
