You never know who is ripe for the mercy of Krsna
The Garbageman Gets the Mercy At around 6:20 a.m. I was doing the morning reception service at the Radha-Krishna temple in London when a huge garbage truck stopped outside. I didn't pay much attention, being absorbed in my own business. Then the garbageman knocked on the door and, smiling cheerfully, asked for a vegetarian book that he saw on display in the window. He wore dirty clothes and had a little wallet with holes. He...
The sound had me in trance
I was doing door to door book distribution south of Dublin (Ireland ) when a lady answered the door of one house. She was talking on her mobile phone.

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."
