Appreciating the mercy of guru and Krsna
Today, as I ate breakfast in the Melbourne temple, a devotee gestured over my shoulder and asked whether I'd met a young man sitting behind me. "Do you know Camillo?" I looked behind and saw Camillo in civilian clothes, his back toward me. I had noticed him in the Bhagavatam class and had smiled at him. He smiled back. I was happy to see someone new to Krsna consciousness with a japa bag....
A transcendental coincidence
As I was distributing books at Cal Poly Tec University, a student approached me and said, "I have something to tell you that you'll like to hear.

A devotee who had come here on harinama told us to come to this town, Beaconsfield, to try it out, because devotees...

I felt compelled to pay for the tickets, so I jumped in first and pulled out my wallet. Unfortunately, there were no coins, and I gave twenty-dollar note to the bus driver. He frowned and asked for coins. I had to apologize. With a loud...
World Sankirtan Newsletter for August 2013
Hare Krsna Dandvat Pranam, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! For the first time in many years (maybe decades) the Los Angeles temple was the number one temple in the world in August with 30,792 book points. There are a couple of factors that contributed to this success. Vaisesika Prabhu organized the distribution of twenty-two thousand five hundred books during Ratha Yatra. The books...
