“Getting out of the matrix?”

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Not sure if you remember me. My name is Daniel, and I’m from Israel. In 2009 I was studying at QUT – Information Technology. I had heard before, in Israel, the message of the Gita from devotees in class, but I had a problem with God having a blue form, and I was about to travel the world for some time, so I stopped attending the Gita classes. In 2009 I...

Never in forty years has Bhrgupati seen this happen

At the Sasquatch Music Festival, Bhrgupati Prabhu and I were going from tent to tent distributing books. Thousands of kids had come and set up tents in order to enjoy a weekend of music, drinking, drugs and so on.

He wore sunglasses, and his face was marked with face...

After he finished his service of giving us a discount, before he left, I casually...

A Nice Reminder

I was on Queen st on a usual dreary Auckland rainy day when I stopped a young man who was without shoes and wearing shorts. Over a brief introduction I found out that he repairs boats for a living. I presented the Bhagavad Gita to him and was about to give my usual rundown on the contents when he stopped me in my tracks saying "Do you mind if I just read the back of this for a minute?" "Sure." I said and with great...

After a week of book distribution with Bhrgupati Prabhu at the University of Oregon in Eugene, we traveled north to the Portland temple for the Sunday feast, after being on traveling sankirtan for about three weeks. At ISKCON Portland there was a kirtan, Bhrgupati gave a talk, and prasada was served. A local devotee, Parama Karuna Dasa, invited us to stay at his home for the next week. His family hosted us nicely and exhibited many...
