Gurudev Sends Help
Recently I was distributing on a college campus in San Diego CA. In the middle of the day Kali sent a fanatical Christian lady to disturb my service. About thirty seconds into our discussion I detected her envious purpose and ended the conversation, but she continued hounding me. I walked away to continue my distribution, but she followed me around, heckling me and cheering when students would pass up my offer. If a student showed...
Book distribution in London
Jogging Book Distribution During one of our summer book marathons I was standing by the Covent Garden station in London feeling miserable because books were going out very slowly. Krsna was clearly testing my patience and humility. When I had almost given up and was about to take a break, I noticed someone jogging toward me.

As I stood on campus late one afternoon, I prayed to Sri Gurudeva to be inspired to try harder to give Srila Prabhupada's books to others. Suddenly I noticed a fellow approaching and quickly recognized him as the same student wearing a tie-dyed shirt who had...
A questionable character, concert mayhem and a prayer in the morning
1. You Never Know Prabhupada Marathon 2010: One night at about 8 o'clock a sketchy-looking fellow called me over into the shadows of the Miami street side. He opened up his heart and told me about the problems he was facing in his life. He seemed slightly crazy or intoxicated. I considered ending the conversation when I thought it was going nowhere, but I decided to give him a little more time and condolence. After a few more...
