London traffic jams, ki jai!
Today in London's Oxford Circus I was distributing the new Bhagavad Gitas, which are smaller, cheaper, and very attractive. Between meeting people on the street, I would approach the drivers of the black cabs stopped at the traffic lights and signal for them to roll down the window. I'd say, "We're stopping all the handsome cab drivers today." Passing the book through the window and placing it in their hands,...
My Best Experience on Book Distribuition
I was distributing at Cal State University in San Bernardino when a student came over to my table and said, "My friend! I've been looking for you for the past two years. I read the Bhagavad-gita many times, and I'm chanting Hare Krsna." Emanuel had received a book from me at a nearby college three years ago. He hadn't read it for a year, but then he had a mystical experience in which he was told to read the book....

Believe me, they will take them if they love You and You really want to give those books to them. Krishna says...
Distributing Books at the Time of Death
Do You imagine distributing books at the time of death? I did it, maybe not perfectly, but Krishna values our endeavours. I was very young then, and little bit naive, so not much careful about the dangers. I was also on the swing of the ecstasy of spiritual book distribution. I thought by Krishna's mercy everyone is welcoming me and is so hospitable, even dogs. I thought I could make dogs devotees. Maybe, but not in the...
Diwali Event in Toronto
We did sankirtan at a banquet hall where there was a Diwali Event. We got there at 5:30 and met with resistance by one of the management as soon as we walked in. However, we persevered and were able to get our table and things setup. Everyone was cooperative except for that one fellow we will call "Angry Man," who had many objections: only one table and only in this corner; no pictures of Srila Prabhupada or Sri Sri...
