Every Home Should Have Holy Scripture
We used to put the stall everyday outside Koperkhairane railway station during Book Marathon.

Grateful that someone had noticed, they immediately turned to me and handed me a map.

Young European men take up bhakti at the Loft in Auckland
One Saturday, I had a nice exchange with a young man from France, who was interested in, though not overly enthusiastic about, our books and philosophy. He said he wouldn't take a Gita because he'd already picked one up from someone named Bhakti in Melbourne. A few months prior, I'd been in Melbourne and met an amazing devotee named Bhakti Sara. He is very inspiring – enthusiastic to get out on book distribution, to...
