British Celebrities Get Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Gita

by Bhakta Alexey (London) I was fortunate to be invited to a function at which I accompanied my seniors Jai Nitai and Sachi Kisore Prabhus. The function was dedicated to a senior British lady named Jo Fillippou upon her being formally honored as a Member of the British Empire (something like Paul McCartney's being knighted.) Somehow she knew our Jai Nitai Prabhu, so we were invited as well, but he didn't prepare a speech. Jai...

Sankirtan Stories

By Yadavendra Das This morning, the second stop was a small shopping center with only two or three shops open for business. The question on my mind was whether to stop or not to stop.

Christmas Eve in the mall

Dear Prabhu's, Here's a few little stories. One old lady of maybe 75 years. She had her fingernails painted red with little white Christmas trees on them, and was quite touched that I noticed them and told her how nice they looked. After she gave me a few dollars I really got a thrill watching her hobble away with a big brown 9th canto part 3 under her arm. Another was a man who was sitting in his car on his mobile phone, I...
