Bhakta Andrew from North carolina
Swierzno, Poland Last week, a new bhakta named Andrew came from America to join His Holiness Indradyumna Maharaja's festival of India tour in Poland. He told us about how he became a devotee. He used to work in an organic bakery in North Carolina. One day, he had a discussion with a Rastafari fellow. As they spoke about different spiritual topics, this rastafari asked Andrew, "Do you know anything about Krishna?" Andrew...
An interview with Radhanatha Prabhu
While visiting the ISKCON center in Kansas City, Missouri (the locals call it "misery"), I had the good fortune of associating with one of the greatest inspirations in ISKCON, Radhanatha Prabhu. He joined in 1975, in Philadelphia, and shortly after joining he contracted a disease that put him in crutches and then a wheel chair. Last year he had his legs amputated. Despite all this, he has been enthusiastically distributing...

Gopa Vrndapal talks with Prabhupada about Book Distribution

I remember some of the questions that were posed, and I remember the answers explicitly. One thing I asked was about the quality of our preaching and our book distribution. I suggested that there was one problem that people often said that the only time they see us is...
The Glories of Bhagavad Gita
While visiting Bombay a devotee named Rupa Raghunatha Prabhu a diciple of Rahanatha Maharaja, related this story to me. He was going store to store when I went into a place where about ten men were having a business meeting, usually when there's such a meeting it's very difficult to interest anyone in taking a book. This time however, as soon as one of the men, who was the director, saw me with the Bhagavad Gita's he...
