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.
