Young Brazillion in Auckland finds Krishna
A young, sincere Brazilian man arrived one Thursday in Auckland. One of his purposes in traveling was to find himself. Come Friday, day two, he walked up Queen Street and met Simon, our new French bhakta, who was having his first experience on the street. Simon invited the Brazilian to the Loft and gave him a magazine; then the Brazilian came across me, further up Queen Street. On day three in Auckland his good fortune increased when...
Childen in Auckland demand books
Recently, I've been meeting many nice children in Auckland. Often when I stop a parent and child, the parent has little interest and is about to end the exchange, but the child intervenes by grabbing the book. Some children are attracted to Srila Prabhupada's books. It's extraordinary to see. The children then refuse to return the book.

I looked closer; it was part of the Bhagavad-gita. So I said to...
Student Sees Auras of Book Distributor
I was distributing in front of Innsbrucks University (Austria), and I stopped a student — small, round and sweet — and offered him SB 1.1. He took it and said tht he will return to tell me if he liked the book and if he didn't he would give it back. I agreed. A few hours later he came back telling me that he was against the caste system. I explained the original meaning of the varnashram system and its supperiority...
Two Drunks and a Book Distributor…..
One evening a drunk came to our stall and picked up a Gita and told me that it is an incomplete Bhagavat-gita. He said that by reading the first page, he understood that it is not complete. Instead of arguing, I was trying to avoid him & looking for an interested person. But the drunk stayed at our stall arguing with me. Suddenly another drunkard showed up and told the first drunk, ”You cannot take the Bhagavad-gita, because...
