Door to Door Book Distribution

We had a door-to-door campaign in Pune India for the last ten days, which was an extremely satisfying experience.

When my wife and I went to a house in Patang Plaza, a boy opened the door and called his mother. She came to the door with a Bhagavad Gita in her hand and told us that she'd...

I was going to give the book to him for free since he was interested and I have some...

The Crash that wasn’t an Accident

While distributing books at University of California Riverside at a book table, I witnessed a male student who was riding a bike crash into a female student right in front of me. It wasn't serious. She was able to walk away. As the student with the bike was getting his bike together to continue on, I said, "It's not an accident that you crashed into her in front of me. Had that not happened, you would have just zipped by...
