Unexpected mercy
Today in Edgware something truly extraordinary happened. Two sisters, Pramila and Kastur, were walking through the Broadwalk shopping mall, and by divine arrangement, when they exited, Niscinta Prabhu stopped Pramila and I stopped Kastur. Pramila shared a wonderful realisation. Just yesterday she had received the Bhaktivedanta Manor 2026 calendar in the post. As she was going through it she came across the section about the sacred...
He just kept running into the Hare Krsna’s
We had a lot of Srimad Bhagavatam distribution leading up to Bhadra Purnima, but one story stuck in my head because of how an inspired young man had many small encounters with devotees that fanned his bhakti flame. A month or so ago I got a message saying that a gentleman named Damien had contacted the Hare Krishna Auckland Facebook page saying that he was interested in Srimad Bhagavatam. He had purchased some books from the temple...
Becoming a Sage, Page by Page
London: Today at Wembley Central, Sonia was standing with her shopping, completely mesmerised by the kirtan. I approached her, & she shared that she has been singing the Maha Mantra since childhood. At the age of 62, she continues to chant it, even at her workplace, where she said her colleagues joyfully join in. Sonia has a beautiful voice & began singing the mantra in our own melody, though she was too shy to sit & sing...
NEW ZEALAND MARATHON TALES
During this winter’s book distribution marathon (yes, it’s winter down under!), Hriman Krishna and Nitai Jivana Prabhus distributed three Srimad-Bhagavatam sets. In Rotorua’s K-Mart car park, Hriman Krishna met a friend of the devotees who so much appreciates Srila Prabhupada’s books and followers (see picture attached) that she spontaneously gave $55; so he showed her the Srimad-Bhagavatam set and explained...
OFF-DUTY BOOK DISTRIBUTION
“Get books, show books, sell books” is a slogan from Vaisesika Prabhu, meaning we can all distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books if we do those three things. Even me. I am a reservoir of sinful activities, yet with a little effort Srila Prabhupada gets some use out of me on sankirtana. After hearing a great Sunday Feast lecture from Rtadhvaja Swami about the benefits of chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, I went across...
AN INMATE PREACHER
Vaisesika Prabhu told me of a person who’s in jail for life but became an inspired devotee. Here’s his story: Before he went to jail, he was a violent skinhead, a white racist who killed people who weren’t white. He killed two people and was sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole. While he was in prison he came in touch with ISKCON’s prison ministry. He loved the knowledge and got involved...
