A great example of the power of a single book by Srila Prabhupada
In sankirtana on the streets, the devotees of the Florianópolis temple met Alessandro (first photo), a public elementary-school teacher, who took a book and visited us at a festival. He was so impressed with the experiences that he invited us to a program to present our culture to his students. A team led by Temple President Rasarnava Gauranga Prabhu was then assembled, with Bhakta Gustavo and Bhakta Enoque and Bhaktin Marília (a...
The magic happens, if you go out on book distribution
Vinay Sri Nitai Prabhu met a girl who, though nice, was reluctant to keep the books. Suddenly a random person shouted from the distance, “Gabriela! Now is your time!” Her name is Gabriela, making the scream so providential that she was startled. Vinay said, “Well, to get a clearer signal from the universe than that, it would maybe be a slap in the face!” She smiled, agreed, and said, “Yes, I really...
Rainy-day revelation
It was such a cold, windy, rainy day in Hastings, New Zealand that I dared to stand inside a Kmart and distribute indoors. Confident that Krishna would protect me from the security, I was doing okay.

Appreciative people encourage a book distributor
On a rainy day in Curitiba, Brazil, Mahananda Murari Prabhu (JPS) did sankirtana on buses. Inside a bus, one man was on his phone, so he excused himself.

He bought a...
The Lord’s evident and wonderful arrangements
In southern Brazil, a woman who was in a hurry approached Bhakta Gustavo just to ask him about the price of the Gita. Gustavo, then, while quickly trying to show her other books, dropped a Sri Isopanisad. She gently picked it up to return it to him and felt inspired to say that she has a tattoo of a Sanskrit mantra that she does not know the meaning of. She showed it to Gustavo. He immediately recognized it and said, “It’s the first...
WSNL for July 2023
July was another glorious month of book distribution for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada, with at least 435,023 books and magazines distributed worldwide (and even more that are unreported — what to do?). In the Large Temple category, Radhadesh had the biggest increase — 354% and 2,207 book points. That’s good for this rural community in Belgium, which has a traveling sankirtana van, plus Yadurani Devi Dasi distributing Bhagavatam...
