Have a strong desire to distribute sets and Krsna helps
We arrived in Taupo New Zealand on Monday morning after a chilli night by the river. The streets were very quiet as expected on a freezing mid-winter Monday morning. I dutifully loaded the book trolly with two boxes full of books wondering who Mahaprabhu would send to take the mercy. I looked at the Bhagavatam set hesitating to add the weight to my stack of boxes. I thought to myself — let this be a burden of love and bring the...
WSNL for June 2023
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! In June, Moscow had the biggest increase over the previous year in the Maha-Large Temple category, with 4,017 book points — a 175% increase. Despite the war, the sankirtana devotees in Russia and Ukraine still distribute books — a nice example of transcendentally united nations. In the Medium Temple category, Salem increased by 175%, with 6,460 book points....

Last week was the first time out on the street for me in at least a month. Nervous and...
The highest book distribution score for any Rathayatra in Gujarat!

In the Rathayatra parade many kirtan parties did harinama, and many exhibitions displayed the Lord’s pastimes. Lord Jagannatha was...
Let books be seen, and they get distributed!
I was reading the Srimad Bhagavatam during my morning metro journey to the office. When I deboarded the train at “Moulsari Avenue,” I was in the middle of a purport and wanted to complete it. Hence I was reading the book even in the lift. There were two young women in the lift, and one of them asked what I was reading with so much interest. I said, “The Srimad Bhagavatam.” She was happy to know that and said she’s also a...
Raj’s timely help – and interest in the Bhagavatam
I was recently looking at new property for our ladies’ ashram in Wellington. We moved out of a large house and needed to store our things before moving into our next location, so we needed a storage facility fast! That’s when I was introduced to an Indian man named Raj. Gokula-lila recounted how Raj had spent some time at The Loft in Auckland around 2010. His brother and father also often spend time at the The Loft and Bhakti Lounge...
