If You Perform this Service Long Enough….
I took blessings from Caru Candra Prabhu, North American sankirtana record holder, and launched into my best, most enthused, book distribution session that I can remember. For 30 minutes down in the home-base of the Broadway-Lafayette subway station in New York City, I was in flow. It was unmistakable. And then…. Krsna just pulled the plug. Why, I could not understand. I did not see myself as particularly prideful or...
Baby Baptism
Dear Devotees, Parramatta, Sydney Australia, during an all-auspicious Srila Prabhupada marathon, was the location for a very significant milestone in one fortunate jiva's life. Not only was it very hot weather but also it was extra passionate because, apparently, soon it was Jesus Christs birthday, and strangely, although a lot of things were being purchased, it didn't seem as though any of the gifts were for him. But...

This day it was rather quiet when we arrived. Usually only two devotees go there but this day we had four. So I felt bad because there was not many people around and it was my idea for four of us to go there so I decided to leave the...
Ninety Three Year Old Lady Gets the Mercy
SOFIA, Bulgaria One morning during the recent Prabhupada marathon, shortly after arriving at our sankirtan spot, I opened a box full of Srimad-Bhagavatams. A curious lady came by and looked over my shoulder. She was ninety-three years old! "What is this?" she asked. Usually such old people don't buy anything; they just tell us how big their library is and how learned they are. Expecting she was like that, I tried to at...
A Set for Someone
Arvind Prabhu, a devotee in the Brahamchari Trainee group of Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Mandir, Chowpatty was one of the leading book distributors in the recently concluded book marathon. He recalls an interesting experience about distributing a Srimad Bhagvatam set: I met a Gujarati man travelling with his 18 year old son. I offered them a book and the son took one English Bhagavad-gita. I offered the elderly man Srimad Bhagvatam....
