Whoa, She Got a Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.1!
I was going door to door in Waihi, a beach town. Behind one door loud pop music was playing. I thought that a party must be going on inside and that a young teenage girl or boy would answer the door. But to my surprise an old lady answered. As I showed her the books I asked her how she got rid of stress. She said she listens to music of all sorts. Then she agreed to give a donation for a book. As she went off to get the donation, I...
Drawing Inspiration from Her Husband
While distributing at Mt. Maunganui I stopped a group of three ladies and asked, "Are you sisters?" They were a mother, a daughter, and a niece. (The mother was flattered, of course.) I thought I recognized one of them and asked if they were from Hamilton or Auckland. It turned out they were from Hamilton. Then the mother explained how her husband had just died and had been reading the Bhagavad-gita up to his death and that...

She said she had written a note with words of encouragement and given it to the devotee while he was in the...
Summer 2012 Book Distribution Adventures

Yesterday in one cafe club I presented books to a lady who said, "I know all these bogus gurus; they're all useless! There's only one that is bona fide A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada but you have no books by him!" And she turned to leave. I was shocked....

Drumila Gives Hope Hope
I met Bob Hope twice. First in the mid-80s. I went to the Bob Hope Golf Classic because I was in Palm springs at the time and decided it would be a good place to give some stars some books. Walking around with a shopping bag containing books so as not to be noticed by the security people, I gave books to a few sports legends like Bobby Or, Willie Mays, and Barry Bonds. But Robert Stack from the TV series The Untouchables wouldn't...
