By being instruments we are part of the whole symphony
One day, I forgot to pray before doing book distribution. And no books were going out. Suddenly, I remembered and offered my prayers to Srila Prabhupada and asked for his blessings. And the books started going out. Prabhupada showers his unconditional and immediate reciprocation upon souls desiring to be instruments in spreading Lord Chaitanya's mission. At times, we think we are the doers, but then we are made to realise that...
Muslim extremist takes a book
Krishna's mercy is powerful. I met a Muslim extremist on a college campus in Southern California. I showed him the Bhagavad Gita and explained the science for a minute or two. Unfortunately, he threw the Bhagavad Gita back at me and flatly refused it. He began to shout, "This is bogus!" I asked if he followed the Islamic tradition, and he said, "Yes, Allah is the only God!" Krishna gave me intelligence at that...

A World-Class Butcher Takes A Book
I was distributing books on Queen Street in central Auckland one Sunday morning. I stopped a confident young man from Bolton, England.

He explained how proud he felt and how much he enjoyed the work. About the butchering “profession” he commented, “Butchering keeps one fit, but it...
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...
