Always Take Books with You

VANCOUVER–I didn’t think I would get to distribute books today because I had Nitai to take care of (8 yrs old), but I put a Gita and some medium books in a bag, just in case Krishna wanted to send me a sincere soul. We were walking around Canadian Tire when a young woman approached me about signing up for some kind of credit card. I politely declined while forgetting that I even had books with me,...

Medicine in the Form of a Flyer

Report from South Africa

One evening recently, after relishing the nectar of sankirtan, I was waiting at a gas station for my ride back to the temple. I approached the pump attendants and urged them to chant Hare Krishna. At first they couldn't understand...

Even Atheist Distributes Srila Prabhupada Books

A guy came to my table and said, “Three years ago you showed me the Bhagavad-gita and I really wanted it and told you I would be back to get it. When I returned you were gone. But now I have money I would like to get it.” Delayed book distribution. I was showing the BG to one gentleman, he expressed his interest but said he was a Christian. He said, “If you can show me in this book where Jesus is praised...
