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.

The greatest gift to the western world
Prabhupada: These things are not available in the Western countries. They do not know all these. Tamala Krsna: I don't think that there has ever been a personality who has ever given such a great gift to the Western world as yourself, Prabhupada. Prabhupada: Yes, actually that is the fact, but let them appreciate, that's all. Tamala Krsna: Gradually I think they all will. Some are now… Prabhupada: No, they are...
A lost love reawakened
At Kensington Canada I met an older tired-looking lady. I thought she was homeless, as she had a grocery cart with several bags loaded up and a sickly dog on a leash. I approached her, though, because she stood totally spellbound looking at Rasa Mandali and Yogendra as they did kirtan on the street. She looked like she was crying. I began showing her the Gita, and she became overwhelmed. "I haven't...
