Anger is the Foremost Enemy
by Yogindra Dasa I had an unusual experience once while distributing hard backBhagavatams on the street outside a post office in a small town in Sweden. A lady with a mentally- challenged daughter passed by, and the little girl grabbed the book I had tried to distribute to her mother.

U.S. Soldier Engages on Battlefield
My service is to be serving in the United States Army. Some people think this is not so favorable, but actually I find being on the battlefield to be a book distributors’ heaven. The other day I was invited to give a talk at a ‘prayer breakfast’. I agreed to do so, and Krishna inspired me with the idea to set up a book table, presenting only the Bhagavad-gita.

By Mahasundari Madhavi devi dasi At the end of 2010, the Toronto Sankirtan Team set an ambitious goal to distribute a minimum of 35,000 books during 2011. This seemed like a tall task given that it was more than three times the number of books distributed in the whole of 2009!

Will this Book Help You Quit Smoking?
by Bhakta Corey We went to a mall in Brownsville, Texas near the border of Mexico, and had a very wonderful experience distributing books. The Spanish people seem to be very relaxed–and it appears to me that they are living a peaceful life. There was one person I met that I remember quite well. I stopped a Mexican man who was smoking a cigarette. He took the book,Perfection of Yoga, and while he was looking it...
