Mouth to ear resuscitation seva
Newmarket in Auckland has its nectar pockets, despite its external materalistic intensity. One young Japanese boy, floating down stream through the hedonistic shoppers came by my side of the river and I held out the life line of a Bhagavad Gita so could he pull himself up onto the bank for a breather. I started presenting the book with some Japanese words that I could string together in an attempt to perform...
A seven-book customer in England
A shop owner came rushing out with an angry look on her face and said harshly, "Go away from outside my shop. You are blocking our window, and you probably don't have a licence to do this anyway!" I decided to move a little farther up the high street, which was just a quiet road really. A devotee who had come here on harinama told us to come to this town, Beaconsfield, to try it out, because devotees...

Falling in love with Krsna Book
"Krsna: The Supreme Personality of Godhead." Somehow, by the will of Providence, I ended up with a few cases of these this summer during our 7-week music festival tour. I was a little hesitant to distribute them at first, assuming that modern Americans may not like such a far out book – especially with the "G-word" plainly printed on the cover – but I decided to give it a shot anyways. "Hey guys!...
Really Good Energy
Distributing at Fullerton College in southern California, I motioned a student to come to my table. He came over, and I showed him illustrations and told him about the Bhagavad Gita. He was interested, but then he said, "Yeah, it's interesting, but not today, maybe another time." I said a few more persuasive things: "A wise man once said, 'If you don't learn something new about life every day you waste that...
