Losing our way is good, if it brings us to Krishna
This week as usual I set up a book table at our regular place – an arts and crafts shop in Singapore. I was praying to Krishna to send sincere seekers. Some people started to approach the table and look through the transcendental books.

Stormy Monday and a downpour of mercy

While we were trying to fix it in our parking lot, a car pulled in, to turn around. The driver looked at us, and I waved at him.
