Please be Patient

"Please stand in a line. We promise there's enough for all, and all of you will definitely get books." This is not simply a book distributor's dream but a reality, many a time witnessed by the bus party devotees. The bus party headed by H.G.

Lining one side of the road were many shops selling fruit, clothing, and spiritual paraphernalia. I approached an Indian gentleman and introduced myself.

Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! On the 6th of Feburary we were distributing books at a local community college in Kansas City. While there I met one very interested student who took a Beyond Illusion and Doubt from me and told me he would come back to talk more.
