Lord Nityananda distributes books through a madman
Place: a village in Kelva India (near Palghar, which is in the Thane District of Maharshtra, an hour away from our Govardhan Eco village. Almost twenty of us (most from the same family) distribute Srila Prabhupada's books each December, the month when Lord Krsna spoke the sublime Gita. Every year, since most of the family members are devotees and are in ISKCON, we get together in December and go to many villages near Palghar and...
Book distribution to the Zombie’s
A small and excited bunch of us from Bhakti Lounge ventured into the Zombie Parade in Toronto this weekend. Surrounded by people impersonating Zombies, we wondered how to approach them. Initial attempts of speaking to them about Yoga and meditation resulted in amusing responses so we decided to try something different I had recently heard in a lecture. I started to ask the Zombies if they could tell me the...
A really sweet encounter while on traveling sankirtan
We were distributing the Teaching of Lord Kapila. During our scouting for Lord Kapila's candidates in Katikati (near Tauranga), I met up with the local mayor at the Katikati Heritage Museum. She was a kind lady with a weird haircut. Luckily, I managed to stop her before she jumped into her new Mercedes, and after a short discussion she happily accepted a TLK and gave a decent donation. Toward the end of...
Mohammed Gandhi
By the end of the same evening, only a few people were left on the streets. I stopped a black man. Usually, I am not eager to stop foreigners, because most of them do not speak German. The man was from Somali. Part of my approach for the Bhagavad Gita is saying that Mahatma Gandhi appreciated this great book. So I asked him, "You know Gandhi?" "Oh, yeah! Mohammed Gandhi! Yes, I know." Somehow or...
Two Gita’s Meeting
In Karlsruhe, I approached a girl who suddenly exclaimed, "Wow! You will not believe it, but I have this book right here in my bag. Just a second." I thought, "Who distributed it to her today? I am the only distributor here." Then she pulled out our Gita, an old edition, and I saw that there are marks in it, both in verses and purports. She is studying it. I asked her whether she always carries it...
Smiling Grandmother
I usually approach younger people, but suddenly I saw an old lady coming by in a wheelchair. I approached her. She stopped, and we had an interesting conversation. She is 92, and since her thirtieth birthday she has been a vegetarian. She knows and respects the Bhagavad Gita. The next day she was scheduled to go to the hospital, so with a bright smile she said, "Yes, I'll buy the Gita from you, so I can...
