Krsna made a man feel that he should buy some sets
I was milking the cows in the afternoon, and an Indian family came into the goshalla. We had a talk as I was finishing the milking, and then I engaged them in bottle-feeding the calf Nishta. Afterward I offered to show them some books. The head of the family agreed to take a whole stack and gave a nice donation. I also mentioned that I had full sets of the Bhagavatam and Caitanya-caritamrta at home and encouraged him to consider...

Krsna’s arrangements and surprises
Lots of people have taken the books and are very inspired. As soon as we arrived at this station, they quickly took all the books from me. I went for more, but the devotee who had a wheelbarrow of books left to go somewhere, and when I called him, he hung up and turned off his phone. I was upset because time was going by.
