Another Pleasant Surprise on Sankirtan
While visiting Dallas I gave a seminar on book distribution, and afterward some of the devotees from the seminar went out with me to distribute books. There were about fourteen of us. We went door to door in a nice neighborhood. On the front lawn of one house was a sign that read "The Episcopalian House."

Sankirtan Stories
One of the many services of the internet I had another great day distributing Srila Prabhupada's books at West Virginia University in Morgantown, USA.
