Book Devotee Special : Nidra-Devi Dasi in Denver
As many of you know, my service in ISKCON is to travel worldwide to inspire devotees to distribute Prabhupada's books, but quite often when I visit temples, someone inspires me. I recently experienced this in Denver. Nidra Dasi joined in 1976 and has been distributing since that time. She made a vow to distribute books every day. She has the most dedicated devotional schedule that I've ever seen. She starts her day at 2:00...
People are Our Best Friends
Do You imagine a strange person becomes Your best friend at the time You preach to him? It happens, because Krishna smiles in his heart as Paramatma, the Supersoul. Paramatma is the best friend of every living being. When You become Her instrument in preaching Krishna Consciousness the human being becomes the best friend not only with the Supersoul, but with You too, as Her instrument. When you really become humble and devoted you can...
How to Make Everyone in Beverly Woods Krishna Conscious?
In California, Los Angeles, I was thinking: "How to win Beverly Woods with Krishna?" They are our close neighbours and very artistic. Also very proud, because they have everything. Except Krishna. Most probably they will not let you in. And really most opulent houses of the stars were just closed completely. No signs of life. Ok, I am also an artist, a star, but Krishna's star. I devoted my music to Him. Krishna is more...
Famous Singer from Lithuania
I was distributing my CDs of "Saints' Bhajans" and "Meditative Maha-mantra" together with Prabhupada books in different States of America. The mantra was the same: "I am Your neighbour, I stay with my friends. I am from LIthuania, Europe, and I am famous singer there. Just recently I recorded my CDs in very good studio, so I was thinking that maybe my neighbours would like to have them?" Neighbours...
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....
