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...

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....
Yogindra Gets A Second Chance to Distribute Books
For several months, I had practically given up distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and even feeling connected to the spirit of sharing Krsna consciousness. Nothing prevented me from going out on books I just lost my enthusiasm. Usually, I would go alone, which probably had something to do with it. This is the one thing that definitely changed, having left the association of fellow monks, whose enthusiasm kept me bound to the...
