The Mercy was Flowing
Dear Prabhus, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Today on sankirtana I had a couple of nice encounters. Today I had to pick up my spiritual master from the airport and do a few other things, so I was only able to distribute books for less than three hours. I was begging Krishna that I could do a full day's worth in just a couple of hours. By the mercy of my spiritual master, just about everyone I...
26/11/2008 Revisited
26/11 will always bring memories of the horrifying attack on Mumbai. On the anniversary of the attack many peace programs were organized at the various areas where the attacks took place.

So I cried out loudly, many people would have heard, Krsna!...
Book Distribution in Slovenia
I distributed a book for a ten-euro donation to a woman with a young boy. She does yoga, and I told her that I do it, too. She took interest when I told her that the difficult goal of yoga is easier to reach by kirtan-yoga, the chanting that she could hear near us, performed by three devotees. These saints (on the the cover of the TLC), I said, taught kirtan. Because she works nine hours a day and then takes care of her son, she has...
Book Distribution at the Universities
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 I’ll...
