A Cliff Hanger
While I was in Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the temple leaders there — Jagat Guru Prabhu — invited me to join him at a university program. At the school there was a festival in honor of Goddess Sarasvati. "We have a book table there," he explained, "and book distribution should be good." I took him up on his invitation and went to check out the Sarasvati festival, hoping that by Krsna's mercy I could...
A Good Impression
In response to the complaint story, last year there was an interesting transaction in Bristol, England, that turned out quite the opposite of the Catherine experience. A devotee was going door to door, and at one of the doors he knocked on a man answered and asked the devotee to move on because the man's wife was suffering from cancer.

At the right place at the right time
Lord Caitanya's causless mercy isn't something mysterious, in one sense. It really enters the hearts of special souls via the medium of the sankirtan devotees. Thus everyone has an opportunity to remember Krishna, though they may be almost unaware of it. About two weeks ago, coming back to Durban from Johannesburg, as usual I brought books with me on the bus. I began observing the passengers, who looked sleepy or else quite...
Book distribution must go on
I shall never forget the ecstasy when we received the first shipment of Bhagavad Gitas. They were delivered right to the door of the storefront one evening at six o'clock, just before the evening kirtana. Afterwards, I stood up to give the customary concluding announcements. But this time, I held in my hands this beautiful purple-colored book and practically cried as I announced that finally your labor of love was published and...
