I Am Your Neighbour and Want to Share Something Beautiful

I am professional classical and opera singer with many degrees and diplomas, and with many concerts worldwide from my childhood, 6 years of age. But when I became a devotee for 15 years I was learning to sing only for Krishna, the Lord, and nearly did not open my mouth. I thought that to sing for Krishna you must learn to sing so beautifully that Krishna would like to listen. Devotees were telling me that only devotion matters, not...

How to Distribute Many Books

I always remember Prabhupada's words "think big". If I want to distribute many books, first I count how many books I want to distribute, how many points I want to win. For example, I make my plan to distribute 100 books a day. Then I take with me 100 books. The more you take, the more you distribute. Remember, books of Krishna do not like to lie in your bag, and psychologically you do not like your bag is heavy....

The Higher Taste

I remember my reaction when I first time read "The Higher Taste". It was the first Prabhupada book I had at my home. And I got it as a gift from my friend who never became a devotee, maybe later, because she did great job by distributing a scripture to me. She told me: "You like un-earthy esoteric matters, you might like the book". At home I read this book in two hours. While reading I was all my heart with...

I Want to be Happy as You

 I remember when my ex-husband cheated me and threw me out of my own house on the street, and sold it by evil, I was completely lonely. Nobody wanted to speak to me, even friends and relatives, nobody could help, understand. I was so afraid alone. But because I already knew Krishna, I prayed to Him. Only doing sankirtana from morning to evening I could maintain myself and be happy. My calamity was so big that only sankirtana leaded by...

Close Relationship with the Lord

When I just joined the spiritual movement I believed Prabhupada and spiritual authorities so much, therefore I did what they asked. That was my success in book distribution. Senior devotees helped me, I was praying to scriptures, to Prabhupada, and they made me their instrument. I felt that it was not me who distributes books. I felt it even more, seeing people reactions. Some of them cried, some of them were jolly, some very...

Become Happy Yourself

When I joined brahmacarini ashram  actually I was the first lady to live there at that time (because Prabhupada completely convinced me)  devotees told me to go with them on book distribution. So the first day I joined I went on sankirtan. I was distributing Prabhupada's books I have never read before! But I was reading them together with people on sankirtan. I approached them, opened the book and was reading to them....
