Krsna is amazing
I work as a caregiver for devotee parents in Stratford, Connecticut, but I also like to go out and distribute books as much as I can. So this morning as I was on my japa walk when I met a gentleman whom I see every morning. He walks his dog by the beach. So I approached him and showed him a Gita. His reaction? "Oh my God! A few days ago I was thinking, 'I have a copy of this book somewhere in my home,' but I couldn't...
Mayapur and Service to Lord Caitanya
Hare Krsna Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. By the mercy of Lord Caitanya I'm in the holy dham of Mayapur.

The Irresistible Quality of the Bhagavatam
"Did you know that the Bhagavad-gita is the most widely read book in history?" I asked a gentleman, a senior at the University of Houston. We had just met late in the afternoon, after most people had left for home. I prayed that my behavior with this person would please Sri Guru, remembering that the opportunity to preach is a real gift. "But I have a copy already, so not today, thank you," he replied. "Wait,...
A Little Girl Who Emptied Her Piggybank for a Krsna Book
