How to Give Books for Free When They Don’t Have a Donation to Give
Hare Krsna, I'm sure you've all read the recent story I sent about a mended relationship. A young man was upset because he was given books as though they were free and then experienced them being taken back when he didn't make a donation. For years I've been saying to devotees, "Don't make it appear that the books are free and then ask for a donation, and if a donation is not given, take the book back."...
An Unexpected Encounter in the Wilderness
I cannot stop realizing how His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada is so merciful to his “grandchildren” in giving us the service to spread Krishna consciousness everywhere. I went with my family to June Lake. We were unable to find any spots at the campsite at 10 p.m., so we just set up our tent in the forest near the lake shore, which is not permitted. At 7 a.m. (the temperature was 3 Celsius) I made a fire and was about to...

If you're interested in spirituality, then this is the book for...
Happy Janmastami!
Happy Janmastami! Here's a nice book distribuiton pastime about a mended relationship . We were at Ohio State University, in a town called Bowling Green. The campus is like a beautiful park. Most college campuses in the USA are like that. It is a joy to walk around, and it is ecstatic to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books. Every book distributor knows the various types of "sweeties." There are scores of them...
Book distribution at Universities in Southern California
While distributing at a university, I showed the Gita to a Muslim man who approached my table. I was showing pictures to him and giving him some explanations. When I finished explaining the five horses as the senses, he asked me, “How much do you want for this book?” I said that we ask for a donation for it, and he gave a nice donation, and I gave him an invitation to the temple. I'm finding that more and more Muslims...
