North Carolina State University: Book Distribution at Yogafest
Last Friday, our traveling sankirtan party visited North Carolina State University, in Raleigh, and the devotees felt very well received. In the beginning of the day, I met a person who told me that the next day there would be an event called Yogafest at a conference center on campus I looked up the event online and called the organizer. I told him that I am a Vedic monk who travel all over the United States distributing the original...
“If they read one page, one word, then their lives will become perfect.”
I want to share with you a recent occurrence that reinforced my faith in Srila Prabhupada's promise, "If they read one page, one word, then their lives will become perfect."

The Nectar of Book Distribution in Bharat Varsa
This year in India I had my most ecstatic time. First off, usually I don't distribute books in Mayapur during the festival, because there's so much going on. But upon seeing so many book distributors this year, I got inspired to distribute. Interesting: there were so many devotees, so what I found was that I had to look for the people who didn't have beadbags and didn't wear dhotis and kurtas. They had to be wearing...
