Young People Value the Books
People intuitively know how important these books are, even without knowing much detail. I was on the parking lot of the Warped tour show in San Antonio, Texas. I approached a large SUV with a teenager sitting in the back seat. The door was open. I handed him two books, a Bhagavad-gita and an softcover SSR. I had hardly said anything about the books, just "meditation" when his sister, who was sitting in the front seat, tried...
Begging to Give
Before going to my class in Menlo Park, I had about an hour to spare. I then got the idea, that in the mean time I can distribute a few books as the streets of downtown Palo Alto were quite crowded. They conveyed a great thirst for the Bhagavad Gita and the causeless mercy of Srila Prabhupada, the Parampara, and Lord Nityananda. I have never really ventured to distribute books on a weekday, during rush hour, when everyone is trying to...
An Essential Iten to Include in a New Backpack
While distributing, I see a tall young man walking away from me, about twenty feet away. Seeing a good quality day-pack on his back, I call out clearly, “Excuse me, are you from France or Germany?” figuring he's probably a traveler. He turns and walks toward me as he responds, “I'm from Germany." After he shakes my hand with a friendly smile, we begin talking about his travels. Soon he will be heading to...
A Father and His Triplets Get the Mercy of Lord Krishna
While distributing at Santa Monica Promenade in Southern California I approached a man with three boys (triplets, eight years old). When I offered the book to him, he said, "No money, I'm not giving you any money." I said, "OK. I'll just show them to you." I said to the boys while showing the changing bodies illustration, "Where are all of you in this line up here?" They all pointed to different...
The Passing Away of Madhumangala Prabhu
Hare Krsna, Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada! As you all know, this book distribution site is an all-good-news site. Well, now, I have some sad news and good news. A very dear friend of mine, and of many devotees who knew him, has passed on. His name is Madhumangala Prabhu. He distributed books from the time he joined in South Africa, about twenty years ago. He was one of the most personal book...
On just a little common ground, a book is sold
In Toronto in late May, the Bhakti Bombers hit the March Against Monsanto. Our youngest, sweetest devotee, Bhaktin Zoe, 18, led us in book distribution. She distributed over fifty books herself. Mangala-Arti Dasi and Bhakta Alexey, by waking up at 2:30 a.m. to chant and then begin cooking, made five hundred plates of prasadam for distribution. The rest of our team set up our vendor spots while we awaited the marchers coming down Bloor...
