Story of Distributing Bhagavad Gita to a Friend

Hare Krsna, As you all know, I never write stories of distributing as I never have much of stories but wanted to share this with all of you. Last Wednesday, my only friend in this course of Employment Law asked me what I post everyday at facbook group for the Book Club? I was quiet surprised how she knew about it, later realized that my post would be shown in everyones news feed that "Anjan posted something in the group"...

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...

Only “That” Bhagavad Gita Please

My wife, Saswati Radhike Devi Dasi, and I were distributing Bhagavad-gita one evening near our home in Baguiati in Kolkata. We set up our tables and Srila Prabhuapada's books as usual. We were very eager to distribute books that day. We started announcements regarding Srila Prabhuapada's books. A few people took a Bhagavad-gita. Suddenly we met a lady and her small daughter. When my wife asked the lady to get a Gita, she said...

She arrogantly asked, "What does it matter? They're all the same." I replied, "Well, all buses are the same, but you are sitting only on this bus." She said that this is because she had to go to the place where this...

Prayers Answered By Krishna

I am doing four days of traveling book distribution every week. Last week we were in southwest England, doing the coastal towns that sankirtan devotees have not regularly visited for ten to fifteen years. In one town I met an old English gentleman who told me he had just finished reading Gandhi's biography and was praying that he could acquire a Bhagavad-gita. I showed him the book and the quote by Gandhi on the back, and he...

That is the Best Book

I was on sankirtan with Mangal-Aarti on a bitterly cold winter afternoon at Eaton Centre and had spoken to a few people and was just recuperating from the snow and rain a little, standing in the shade. A man walked by and I asked him,"Have you tried yoga or meditation, sir?" He stopped for a while, as I showed him some pictures, but I could tell he wasn't going to buy a book. He walked away, but from the corner of my eye...
