A pretty sweet note to end on
I asked Kalyani Radha to come out and distribute books with me, and she enthusiastically agreed. We arrived on Manners Street and had an hour allotted this sunny afternoon. For me it was a good start, one of those days when you feel that Krishna is trying to encourage you for getting out, by sending lots of nice people to take books. Then I looked at how my friend was doing and saw that she had frozen. I could see how she was...
Lord Caitanya’s mercy in Bhopal
We devotees have been distributing Srimad Bhagavatam sets in Bhopal for the past year, and we regularly meet people eager for the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Once, the devotees entered a home where the hosts were happy to receive them and welcomed the devotees in. The devotees were surprised to find deities of Sri Sri Radha Krishna, all of Srila Prabhupada's books, and pictures of Srila Prabhupada. The hosts explained that...
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.

"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...
