More big steps towards Krsna
A few years back I met this dentist, Dr Vera Zdarsky, and sold her a Srimad Bhagavatam set. I tried several times to get her to come to the Loft in Auckland but she seemed to never make it. Recently at New Varshan (the temple in west Auckland), on a Sunday, I saw Khela Tirtha Prabhu talking to this lady in the temple shop and I immediately recognized her as Dr Vera. I naturally said hi and soon found out that she had read three of the...
Synchronized Encounter in the library
In the midst of our winter marathon in Wellington NZ, I was coming down with the flu and wasn't feeling up to standing on the cold windy streets as usual. Racking my brains for an alternative, I decided to try out distributing in the library which offered a warm environment and shelter from the elements. In the hushed, studious library space I gently approached persons as they browsed through the books on the shelves. After some...
Books for Amma’s followers and Muslims
Just a few days ago, while distributing books in shops, Acarya Prabhu came to a hall where Amritamayi Amma's followers had gathered for a program given by her representative. There was a big picture of Amma. Acarya decided to show a Srimad Bhagavatam set to Amma's representative, and surprisingly she was interested in the books and asked others present how many funds they had. When informed that they had enough funds, she...
Book Distribution can be an adventure
Distributing at the Santa Monica Promenade in Los Angeles, I approached a man, showed him Prabhupada's books, and explained a little. While I was presenting the books his wife showed up. She asked him, "What are you doing?" in a heavy way. "I'm looking at the books this man is showing me." I was thinking, "I'll be real surprised if this man walks away with a book. Again, it's up to you...
Jesus donates!
I approached a man who stopped and seemed was interested, but as I was talking to him I noticed a large cross necklace around his neck. I thought: "Krsna, this is in Your hands, I'll try my best to get this person to take a book, but ultimately it's up to You." I told him about the book and then asked for a donation. He reached into his pocket pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and said, "This is from Jesus...
Bird watcher starts to find the “two birds within the heart”
It was another classic windy and cold day on Willis Street in Wellington. Not one book had gone out in two and a half hours. Seeking relief from the cold, I crossed the road to a small patch of sun, where I immediately spotted Jennifer coming out of the health food shop. As I waved her down, I saw the invisible wall go up between us. Noting her purchase from the health store and trying to think quick before I lost her in the stream of...
