From a traffic light to a SB set
I was driving to the temple on the Lawrence Expressway, and the lights turned red. As my car came to a halt, I looked to my left and saw a car with three passengers. The son was driving the car, the father was in the passenger's seat, and the daughter-in-law was in the rear seat. I noticed that the father was wearing Sri Sampradaya tilak. I thought of inviting him to the temple before the lights turn green, so I rolled my window...
Jeremy and I share a common problem
Hare Krsna, I saw them approaching from the corner of my eye and I immediately knew this was going to be different. He had the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is open in his hand and converged upon me with the intent of a hunter eager to corner his prey. "I have a real problem with a verse in this book," he challenged. "Really?" I feigned surprise. "Which one?" He turned the book around and stood right next to me....
Book distribution on Gaura Purnima
While chanting, I meditated on how can I serve my guru and Mahaprabhu on this blessed day. I had to reach the venue where we were to celebrate Gaura Purnima by 10 A.M. to decorate for the evening program. So there was not much spare time. Nevertheless, I made up my mind to try and distribute the Bhagavad Gita on my way to the venue. I stepped out of home with two copies in my bag. As I headed to the bus stop, a local Singaporean man...
The best people in the whole universe
Madhuyamrta and I were on Cuba Street on Sunday afternoon before SoulFeast. As we were walking to our spot, I saw two traveller-type boys. I said to Madhuyamrta that we should invite them to come along. Although too shy to do it myself, I urged her to go and invite them (ha ha). So we gave them flyers, and they were so friendly and excited to come! When they came, Isvari-Keshavi said to me, "Wow! Ariel and I saw those boys on the...
Dancing to the books
During the first day of the seminars on book distribution in Mayapur, Dvarkadish Prabhu from Germany told us of a nice thing that happened during the last marathon. He was distributing at an outside mall when he approached a couple and showed them the books he had. They liked the books so much that they bought seven books, and when they were leaving, Dvarkadish was surprised to see them dancing. They danced all the way down the...
A “New start” with Krsna
During the marathon I got into the habit of going out on sankirtan between loads at the laundrette, one of the many “creative” ways I could coax my mind onto the street. One of these days I was standing on the culturally eclectic Albany Road in Cardiff Wales and was having a hard time stopping any of the frantic Christmas shoppers. I saw a rough-looking man approaching me and felt the impending dread of yet another...
