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.

A special boy
While distributing books at Surfers Paradise, Australia (Srila Prabhupada in his witty way called surfers "sufferers," so, Sufferers Paradise), I approached a man with his son who was about five.

It's interesting that the young always want to...

Although he was requested several times, he refused to take one. The next day the same...
A Gita for the flight
Returning from the year-end festival in Otaki, New Zealand, I saw a young man sitting by himself at the Wellington airport. We made eye contact as we entered the boarding area. I had a Bhagavad Gita with me and wanted to distribute it before going to Sydney. I prayed for inspiration and went for a walk in the waiting area scanning for a favourable person. I happen to start a conversation with this young man, Latrell, and asked whether...
Book distribution on a train in New Zealand
At the start of the end-of-the-year marathon, although I wanted to go hard on the street and distribute heaps of books for the Lord, I was finding it extremely difficult to stop even one person. Most of my book distribution efforts on the street lasted for fifteen minutes and were very difficult. After a while I decided to catch a train home and help get New Gupta Vraja ready for the retreat. I got on the train early with my suitcase...
