Ukraine Sankirtana Wins the War
This year the Prabhupada December Marathon in Ukraine was quite unusual with people really damaged by the news of the war on the eastern side of the country. There were various series of drafts of many thousands to the army, there was mourning for war victims and acts of terrorism. It was doubly unusual, because due to the war the whole country suffered from heavy depression with the local currency rate...
Easy, if we remember Lord Caitanya
Recently, I read an article on book distribution and came across an amazing verse. It mentions how even difficult things become easy if we remember Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. I was deeply touched by the verse (Cc. Adi 14.1). So on the following Sunday I went out for book distribution to the homes of Baroda (Gujarat, India). For one and a half hours there was no positive response, and I was...

So this week we packed Arabic books,...

Our best friend and ever well-wisher

Today's Srimad Bhagvatam class, followed by some sankirtan, gave me a small glimpse into what it means to be someone's well-wisher. This morning in class I asked Vaisesika Prabhu a question: How not to constantly feel like a failure in service? One key message he gave was to have friends and mentors – and he...
Who’s buying Gita’s at the Harinam at Union Square?
A group of young people who get together and read Plato’s Republic chose Union Square because of the good weather one October day. When they passed our harinama party, a devotee lady invited them to offer candles to Damodara, and they all did, holding their Republics in their hands. I talked to their leader about Plato’s analogy of the cave and how this world is a perverted reflection of the...
