Let the book find someone!
Once, one of our book distributors in Holland was distributing books in the offices of a business. The authorities didn’t like it and called the police so the devotee ran into the street with his books. As the police chased him, he turned the corner into a street but saw that it was a dead-end! He didn’t know what to do! Then he saw a little alley and ran into it. It was just a back alley, with no windows, only walls...
Sankirtan Experience
At Yonge & Dundas square in Toronto today, one man from India didn't want to take a book saying he has to pay off his bills, but admitted that actually Krishna is giving him money. "Well", I said… ☺ "If the same Krishna is giving you knowledge about Himself…why not to take it? Money you accept from Krishna, but knowledge not!" So the man had no choice, he gave a donation and took a book. ☺...
A dream and a donation for the van

In this dream I was so happy. I...

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...
