A young Vietnamese man & a man with a $2 bill
While I was distributing at Cal State in LA, a Vietnamese lady approached my table and looked with curiousity at my books. I showed her the Gita and explained some of the contents. She said she had some interest in it, but didn't read English very well. I asked her whether she lived in Los Angeles, and she said yes. So I replied, "Then you must be learning English.

After a wonderful seminar by HG Radhika Raman Prabhu, it was so enlivening to go door-door to distribute sets. Inspired by the lecture, Jamuna Mataji took a set for her cafe. Then we went in an area where no one wanted to accept a Gita, but we met one Chinese lady who happily took Gita and a Chinese book. She also learned the Maha mantra and she chanted in her own sweet way saying, " Hale Krishna". We met two families who...
